Hi

I'm playing with the idea of buying Red Strike by Vulca Simulations, I have friends that would be up for a few games. We all played Axis & Allies before, which is a bit easier than Red Strike as far as I see. I also plan to play it by my self (the scenarios look very interesting).

Any thoughts or experiences?

They hate him, because he told the truth.

This is a really cool idea, will share it around!

Maybe add the website on the GitHub-Repo as the projetc-site URL, makes it easier to navigate.

I buy all my Linux cloths from HelloTux: https://www.hellotux.com

Their statement on the about page wonderful!

We believe that free and open source software is better than proprietary. We also believe that we can change how people use technology. If you are the kind of person who likes freedom and fun, promote free software with us!

And they go on:

HELLOTUX is a family project of Gábor Kum, a Linux system administrator, a Linux user since 1999. His wife Maria and his children are Linux users too.

As far as they explain they only use free software to create the patterns for the shirts (and now also backpacks!).

They also support FOSS projects with every sell they make:

This is not all. From your purchase we support free software, usually $3-5 from each product sold. But not everybody can accept money due to legal reasons, in this case, we give free shirts to developers.

I had some mails going back and forth with them, as I thanked for the stuff I got and they are lovley.

The quality is good and conformable, the oldest thing I have from them is a Tux-Hoodie I bought two or three years ago. It is still good and has the normal wear signs a hoodie has after a few years of use and washing.

True, but you can easily switch to Flatpaks and use them instead.

I think to start, Mint or Ubuntu is a good choice, it has support for most hardware and will probably run on whatever you install it.

Also something that I think most new Linux users should focus on; instead of distro pick the desktop environment (DE). As a beginner it does not really matter if you use, lets say, a Debian- or Fedora-based distro. Pick a DE that looks pleasing to you maybe GNOME or KDE and take the installation with that DE. Maybe do not start with Arch or Gentoo as they are for more experienced users that already have some Linux experience.

Distros will be way more interesting and important when you got a hold of Linux and you want to explore the differences of them.

Last tip: Make a separated /home directory, so when you want to change to a new distro you do not have to delete all your files and start over with an empty machine.

I wish you a good start into Linux and do not hesitate to ask questions if they arise!

I have Trackmania Stadium for that. Going into a full speed server (Only need to steer left or right while constantly press forward) and put some music up.

The flow of the race tracks together with the music is very nice and because no speed control is needed, no need to get into the physics and tracks to enjoy the game.

I can recommend to get into Trackmania when you have more time, the feeling of mastering a hard track is marvellous, but just speeding around is also fun as hell.
