I recently acquired a new PC. And have some free time. What version of Linux would you recommend I start messing around with what you have?

I really think your project is cool!

Hey; any version should be fine. Linux is, generally, pretty good about backwards compatibility.

I've made a ton of breaking changes, within the last year, so I'd recommend sticking with the commit version we last got you set up on, for now.

Hopefully, I'll be able to properly clean things up (plus documentation) once employed, again.

Philmore98,

@Swanye

Ill take your word on it, going to use a Linux VM because getting it to run on windows was a hassle.

Thats fair, um, anything I need to remember. before I set up?

Also, You got this broski, you are a talented guy. for better or worse, ever considered starting a Fiverr or advertising your programming skills in your area?

@Philmore98

Fair.

I don't think so? The old documentation really got at everything, I think. Just make sure you have all the dependencies I listed and you should be fine, I think; any decent Linux distro should have them all in their package manager (they're not uncommon, any).

It's not a bad idea. My worry has always been not making enough, that way (got a spouse and two cats to additionally feed); I'm also fairly low on spoons, most days, and I'd probably need to be proactive, that route.

I recently started going out and putting my name in the local paper for logos and designs and stuff, a lot of small businesses paid me a decent amount.

Like, for someone like you, (idk where you live) but if you put your name on the local paper/community place. charge what you think is fair. a lot of people are willing too budge.

The thing is, you are one that is offering your talents. they come to you. you are the one putting the price on it.

It's worth it!

Hmm; fair point. At the very least, it could help offset some stuff if nothing turns up in the next month or so.

I'll take a look and see; it'd be nicer to help a smaller business, over a giant corp., anyway. Thanks a ton.

Philmore98,

@Swanye

This is unrelated. but I think this might help!

Long story short. back in 2021, during the crypto rush. I bought some pretty cheap crypto coins or whatever. one of them I bought is now worth a pretty penny. If I can find a way to get back into my wallet. id be down to give you some to turn into actual money. help ya fund this.

That's really kind; if you ever are able to convert it to a more common currency and want to donate it through the LiberaPay, I'd certainly appreciate it but I don't want to take any money you might need, either.

I am nervous about our current financial situation, at the moment, but – at the end of the day – I am still a developer and, once I get a job, I expect it should make us financially stable, again (which is more than some can say); financially safe, at the very least.
