In a general sense? No, i don’t think most people require a lesson

But I’m deadass about the lesson, we learned how to read a map, use the map scale, different types of maps, etc etc

Do they not teach this in all schools? I definitely learned map reading in grade school, and I’m Gen Z so being able to read a map was never a necessity in my life

I don’t doubt that, I’m saying this more because there are additional routes that i had to configure in NPM to get lemmy working properly. This may be where OP is having issues, you can probably set them up in CF too but I have no idea.

Are you pointing cloudflare directly to Lemmy? I have mine going from cloudflare to Nginx Proxy Manager configured to serve Lemmy.

There is some additional configuration necessary for a reverse proxy in front of Lemmy, which is potentially where things are getting messed up for you?

No worries :) everyone starts somewhere.

The other commenter covered the terminology so to your point about being on Nvidia:

I know we don’t like Reddit but here. Seems to be YMMV and you’ll never know if you don’t try. Also possible that the things that are buggy aren’t things you use/care about

FWIW I run Ubuntu and do some gaming. Haven’t hit any issues, and I’ve run multiple AAA games on release (TLOU, Indiana Jones, Hogwarts Legacy, GoW 2018) as well as other, lighter, titles like Cities Skylines 2, Asetto Corsa, Project Cars, American Truck Simulator

I’m sure there are bugs that I haven’t experienced, and my system is probably newer/higher performance than the average person + i chose parts with Linux in mind. But based on my experience, I wouldn’t tell someone to jump into a less user friendly distro because of problems I myself haven’t run into. Much better to try one, see if you hit an issue, then jump rather than doing the hard one up front

Consider your library: most games will be able to run fine on Linux. However, if you predominantly play online multiplayer games which require anticheat you should check compatibility on ProtonDB.

Second, consider your hardware: if your GPU is AMD you’re good to go. Nvidia might have issues (not sure if this has been resolved since I last had to look into it).

Finally, choose a distro: I’d recommend Ubuntu or anything Ubuntu-based. There’s a lot of mixed answers in the Linux community and definitely a ton of hate for Ubuntu. However, as someone who has been running Linux for nearly a decade at this point, there are a few key points:

1. Ubuntu is debian based, so it’s extremely stable(but not as slow to update)

2. Ubuntu is very beginner friendly, and you won’t need to touch the terminal if you don’t want to

3. Everyone hates on snaps, but for you I don’t think you’ll run into an issue with it.

Personally, I steer towards debian based distros for my devices as well because I’d rather spend time messing with the software I’m running or other things NOT debugging why my config is suddenly shitting the bed
