OS swapping shenanigans
For the past week or two I've been using Linux (Xubuntu 22.04) as my primary desktop OS for the first time in... years. Surprised at how much it's improved since I last used it. I've used it on and off for various things "recently" (2021?) but for the most part I stuck to Windows for my primary OS, only using Linux for servers.
The last time I tried to get my monitor setup working with the NVIDIA drivers (2018?) a disk in my back slipped and yes, I am blaming the NVIDIA drivers for that.
This time though? I had ~30 minutes of trouble initially upgrading the drivers because of switching installation methods, and I have to reset the monitor settings on login (which is done automatically by script) -- definitely not a newbie friendly experience but now that it's installed, everything's running better than in Windows. Even my live wallpaper (done with script instead of Wallpaper Engine) is running better.
Speaking of the live wallpaper, I actually made a pretty cool one in Blender: a neon sign featuring my partner's and my fursonas (or one of each anyway). Click the preview below because the thumbnail is only like a second of it.
I kind of want to make more of these, maybe even for commissions, but the animation takes a while to set up in blender. Maybe I'll look into how to automate the flickering better, or see if I can get a good render through Unity.
