  • I’m not a native speaker and quite out of practice but I would lean towards the first translation being more correct. The second doesn’t seem wrong but would be spoken with different pacing for me to interpret it like that and not be confused. I’ve actually had someone ask about me that way (iirc, 8+ years ago), but it was a group discussion and it was used to ask a question that had already been asked of another person, and then continue to ask questions without further specifying me as the subject by name. Native speakers leave out the subject way too much and its confusing as fuck and it may have been said that way intentionally for those of us who were not.







  • Everything that people try to convince me is good about it just feels so counter intuitive. It also looks like it should be touch friendly, but I tried it on steam deck and it just absolutely wasn’t. We have decades of touch interface design on phones and tablets yet somehow it’s worse than the flop tablets that came before ipad. But to each their own I suppose. Some people absolutely love it and it works for them. That’s a big part of open source computing, one can chose the desktop environment with the most unlikeable devs if it makes them happy.

    Anyway spin up a vm when you get a chance and try it. Try all of them if you can find the time. I find a lot of them kinda nostalgic and I really like tiling wm’s for feeling like a power nerd and making my computer completely unusable to my friends. Mostly I just use kde though.
