It seems to vary. I had few issues with my 2080Ti but my friend had nothing but issues with his 3070. He switched to an AMD card and it worked without issue. Nvidia doesn’t put nearly as much emphasis on their Linux support as AMD does, but that doesn’t mean that Nvidia cards aren’t usable.
Mint. I’ve been happy with it. I’m more familiar with debs/apt/Ubuntu so I wanted to stick with something familiar but didn’t want to use Ubuntu. It’s worked very well for me for gaming. I just upgraded my GPU from an Nvidia card to an AMD card which, aside from having to manually install the drivers from the terminal, has worked very well.

I switched full time to Linux last year and primarily use my computer for gaming. It’s been great. I play games through steam so YMMV with other systems. I haven’t had any issues playing a variety of games such as Factorio (built for Linux), GTFO, Horizon: Forbidden West, PEAK, Ready or Not, Plate Up… It’s been rare for me to have an issue. I remember an issue trying to play Plate Up via steam remote play.
Blockchain is just a ledger. Most systems don’t need a ledger, they need a database. It was a solution looking for a problem in most cases and the marketing/business types don’t listen to the engineers if the engineers are even in the room.
When I interviewed at a company some years ago, the commute would have been ~an hour on a normal day (potentially longer if I did park-n-ride). I was very forward about wanting to only come into the office once or maybe twice a week. The manager I was talking with brushed off my commute time by basically saying that the commute wasn’t that long and he knew others that commuted much longer. That was a huge red flag for me and I did not proceed with them. I don’t care what others will tolerate. If management is going to ignore concerns like that, I don’t want to work there. It was really apparent that he wouldn’t let me work from home more than maybe once a week if I was lucky.
One of the things I’ve always remembered about Decent was when you put in cheat codes it would play a little sound effect of someone saying “cheater…”
How do you view yourself/your decision looking back? Do you have any regrets?
Is it a direction you would recommend for others?
What is something that the average person doesn’t know about stripping that you wish they did know?
Are there any particularly interesting or funny stories that you want to share?
My computer graphics/computer vision professor in college (two classes, same professor). He treated us as people, explained the logic behind his teaching style (and grading), was extremely knowledgeable and approachable. A lot of professors end up having a sort of air or mystique around them that can make them harder to approach 1-on-1. Usually it’s no fault of their own, they’re just in a position of power and authority over the students.
This professor really tried to bring his students in by making us feel like we belonged. He actually described his class as the same class they teach at MIT. The only difference was the students and their drive.
In the computer vision class, there were only about 8 of us and we all did terribly in one of his exams. The next class he asked us directly and openly what he did wrong and how to make things better going forward (tl;dr: more examples). I really respect teachers who admit their mistakes/failures and then try to correct them.
My mom doesn’t believe in using salt when cooking. She’s actually a decent cook but she tends to make somewhat bland food.

Myth: software engineers replicate value similar to a factory worker making the same item over and over
Truth: software engineers are closer to artists than factory workers IMO. We find and create new value, not replicate existing value
