35 minutes of yapping about Half-Life mapping.
This will be my first video produced fully on Linux, so let's hope nothing goes wrong(tm)

I'll publish a far more detailed version of this on my website, eventually.
Overall I'm quite happy. I expected there to be A LOT more tinkering, lasting up to 3 months to try all this out.
Later, I also wanna package some Half-Life modding tools for Linux. It would make things much easier. (6/6)

Right now I'm setting up environments for my programming projects. There's C++ stuff, C# stuff, and a bit of basic webdev stuff. nixOS has a non-standard filesystem, so for some situations, setting up these shells is a must.
I managed to get my C# game engine to run, so that's pretty good! (5/6)

Music production took the longest. I had to tweak a lot of numbers to get low-latency, pop-free audio on my Scarlett 2i2, so I could play instruments in real time. Oh PipeWire...
I tried out a couple DAWs, settled on Reaper for now. Coming from FL Studio, I'll need to get used to it more. (4/6)

2D art, 3D art, Steam games, GoG games, it all just worked out of the box.
Assetto Corsa needed some tinkering, and I needed to install a kernel module for my Logitech G29 wheel.
VR (Pico 4, ALVR) worked just fine, with a bit more research & tinkering, in particular w.r.t. CUDA support. (3/6)

Over the years, I switched to more open-source apps. I switched to Blender from 3DS Max etc. for various reasons.
I knew most of my hobbies would just work on Linux, but 4 things held me back: nVidia, VR, music making and sim racing.
But that's exactly why I wanted to try it out. (2/6)

Two years ago, I told myself Windows 10 was gonna be my last Windows, that I would switch to Linux at some point.
3 weeks ago, I finally gave it a proper try. Not in a VM, not on my old laptop, but on my main PC, dualbooting nixOS alongside Windows.
It went well! (1/6)

Week 2 of porting Half-Life to C#:
So I took my HostFxr wrapper from 2022, polished it up real good and tested a few basic things on .NET 8. Works perfectly fine in x86.
After a bit of messing around with calling conventions, I got printing to Half-Life's console to work!
