Or worse… expelled.

– No, don’t call my mother, she’ll be so mad! She told me that if I die I shouldn’t come back home for dinner…

Appreciate the Cutting Crew reference. But I can and I will.

According to my brain, every time I have to interact with a stranger.

Tbh, Steam Deck as PC becomes annoying pretty fast. Once you try doing something serious and run into Valve’s (rightfully placed) limitations, it stops being viable/fun. As an example, I can’t make it output 4K@60 in Desktop mode, stuck in 4K@30. Recently, my pacman broke after an update.

I suppose it’s great if you dualboot with a proper Linux distro.

Seems to me like the OP was fishing for attention, negative or otherwise.

Ok, I guess you’re technically right; you didn’t, in fact, ask for suggestions. But your post heavily implies that you are. Because why else would you be asking? Just to learn what other people are doing with no particular goal? Usually people ask such questions to get some ideas.

You were asking for suggestions of activities to spend your “free” time on, and then dismissed suggestions because they don’t pay.
You also dismissed some other great suggestion completely, like programming and making art, drawing, composting etc.
Assuming your game interests aren’t strictly limited to Call of Duty and FIFA, you might be interested in making games and game related art, like pixel art, 3D models, chiptune music, etc. There’s tons of free tools for creating those and practically unlimited resources to learn from.

I have some experience with Latex, but afaik, it’s mostly for writing mathematical formulas and stuff, no?

I’m surprised this is still getting responses.
Fair jab, but I was obviously the computing term, implying “…from source code”.

This post is on the “front page”, didn’t come here deliberately.

Fair enough, I didn’t know that “open-source” is, in of itself, sort of a misnomer and, by the formal definition, a book can be open-source, because the phrase means certain specific things not tied to source code, contrary to what the name implies.
And in my defense, I’ve seen some software that required license key to use, with code available on GitHub or something that called itself open-source (I won’t be able to recall the specific names). I assume the term is misused often.

But “open source” doesn’t even mean that you can reproduce it or use it for free. It just means that you can see the source code. The permissiveness, as you mentioned, lies in the licensing.
So I still think that it’s a complete misnomer.

What’s an “open source” book? You don’t compile a book, aren’t they all “open source”? Do they list all the sources for their text or something?

The hover feature works because it’s done on the iPad’s digitizer side, so afaik, it’s not the Pencil’s feature.
