    1. What are your current pain points with Linux?

      Linux has certainly come a long way, but it's also got room to grow.

      • What are the things that are current issues with Linux for you? Annoyances, incompatibilities, lack of polish, etc.
      • Also, if you're willing, share your level of experience with Linux (e.g. newbie, seasoned veteran, etc.). (I imagine those new to the OS will have very different pain points than people who have been using it for 20+ years).

      Importantly, I ask this NOT to have people dunk on Linux or to start arguments about different aspects of it, but I do so to start a conversation about what could be better/smoother/easier. I love Linux and love that it just keeps getting better, day after day and year after year. The idea of highlighting where it could continue to grow in the future is exciting to me.

    2. How rigid/fluid is your LGBT identity?

      ~lgbt Ask (survey)
      Is it static, or does it change? How does that feel to you? How does it play out in your day-to-day life? What thoughts do you have about rigidity/fluidity in general? (As always, I'm using LGBT...

      Is it static, or does it change?

      How does that feel to you?

      How does it play out in your day-to-day life?

      What thoughts do you have about rigidity/fluidity in general?

      (As always, I'm using LGBT as an umbrella term here, so this question applies to anyone with minority gender, sexual, or romantic identities)

    3. Has anyone tried making their own font?

      I'm attempting to make a font for a little kids book I'm working on and realized I don't know anything about the "theory" of font making. I feel like the choices I'm making aren't adequately reflecting the feeling I'm going for.

      Has anyone attempted to make their own font? Are there any guides or materials you suggest looking at? If you're up for it I'd love if you could share it and talk about your process! Looking for a combination of guidance and inspiration!!

      Cheers!

    6. What are we in a golden age of?

      I don't normally give my own examples for my own questions, but for this one I think it'll help with clarity for what I'm trying to get at:

      I mentioned recently that we're in a golden age of N64 decompilations/recompilations with several high-profile games getting releases that make them run on modern machines with huge quality of life upgrades, and many more in the works (one for Extreme-G just came out two days ago).

      I know that, with everything going on seemingly everywhere in the world right now, it can be difficult to think of things in terms of abundance and prosperity, but I also think there's a lot of it around if we look for it, especially in niche corners.
