When you run OpenSUSE, you can feel it was made by Germans.
The installer is a beautiful example of German engineering.
The package manager is a perfect example of German over-engineering.
If you run it with KDE, you have 2 redundant GUI admin tools for every config in the system, and 4 for setting up printers.

Found the issue:
plasma-desktop recommends kwin-x11 first, and kwin-wayland as an alternative.
So if you just install plasma on Mint, it may install kwin-x11 only.

sudo apt install plasma-workspace-wayland should pull in everything that’s needed.

MX Linux would be another option for a desktop-oriented Deb-based distro.
But the packages aren’t really newer than Debian (some are, some aren’t).

Honestly, I’d just run Debian, get kernel, drivers and firmware from Backports if necessary and install Flatpaks for software I need to be newer.
I don’t need the latest, freshest version of the KDE printer setup utility to be honest.

But in general, it’s always better to fix your issues on the distro you have. Mint is what you’re looking for. KDE does support Wayland, all it needs is in the repos, and there would be no point for Mint to patch that support out.
Do you not have a “Plasma (Wayland)” option on the login screen where you choose your session?

The word “free” does not refer to price; it refers to freedom.

0. The freedom to use your wife as you wish, for any purpose.
1. The freedom to study how your wife works, and change her so she works for you as you wish, instead of her controlling you.
2. The freedom to redistribute your wife to your neighbor.
3. The freedom to distribute your modified wife to others. By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changed wife.

Only if you eat fewer than 20 chickens per day.

You’re right, the last one was brown.

Damn, being Canadian must suck

We’re living in Feudalism now.
Trump is the king, the rest of the government is his council (whom he ignores), and the billionaires are the Feudal lords who wield the real power, as long as they stay in the king’s good graces.

For situations such as this, the British have invented the exasperated sigh, which can be escalated to a “tut” and then adjusted in intensity as needed.
The Germans have mastered the art of telepathically emanating an aura which lets the person next to you feel what they did wrong, without any sound or even eye contact.
Very efficient!

Americans are unfortunately left without options here.
The natural response of shooting your neighbor in justified self defense is not ideal on a plane. And neither is it possible to mount your horse and displace some Native people further west when you feel crowded.

Obviously, speaking up is never an option.

On a home internet with just one router provided by your internet provider, your router is the gateway and the local nameserver.
So you can put the ipv4 of the router in everywhere it asks for default gateway or nameserver.

How would you create a virtual cell?

Creating a virtual cell can be approached in several ways depending on the intended use and the level of complexity desired. Here’s an outline of how to create a virtual cell in different contexts, such as for educational purposes, computational modeling, or in a game:

1. Educational or Interactive Virtual Cell (Web/Software Application)

If you’re building a virtual cell for educational purposes, such as in an interactive app or a website, the steps might include: a. Design the User Interface (UI):

Cell Diagram: Create a visual representation of a cell (e.g., animal cell, plant cell). This could be 2D or 3D, depending on your goals. Use software like Adobe Illustrator, Blender, or Unity for 3D models.  
Interactive Elements: Allow users to click on different parts of the cell (e.g., nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm) to learn more about their functions.  
Labels and Descriptions: Add descriptions of the different organelles and their roles inside the cell.  

b. Programming the Functionality:

Coding Environment: Use a web-based programming language like HTML/CSS for the front end, along with JavaScript (with libraries like Three.js for 3D) to enable interactivity.  
Interactivity: Implement features such as clickable organelles, pop-ups with detailed descriptions, animations for processes like mitosis or protein synthesis.  
Mobile Compatibility: Ensure the interface is mobile-friendly or adaptable across platforms.  

c. Educational Content:

Animation: Animate biological processes (e.g., how a cell divides, how energy is produced in mitochondria).  
Interactive Quizzes: Include quizzes or puzzles where students match organelles to their functions.  

2. Computational Modeling of a Virtual Cell

If you’re looking to simulate the behavior of a cell (e.g., for scientific research, bioinformatics, or computational biology), you’ll need more advanced tools and programming. a. Choose a Computational Biology Platform:

Biological Modeling Software: Platforms like COPASI, CellDesigner, or Virtual Cell are designed for creating computational models of biological systems. These tools are used to simulate cellular processes, metabolic pathways, gene regulation, and more.  

b. Define the Cell Components:

Cell Organelles: Define the organelles that make up the virtual cell, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, etc.
Molecular Components: Model proteins, DNA, RNA, enzymes, and other molecular entities. You may need to define biochemical pathways, chemical reactions, and rates of reaction.  

c. Simulation and Dynamics:

Mathematical Models: Use systems of differential equations to simulate biochemical reactions and cellular dynamics (e.g., using ODEs or stochastic models).  
Time Evolution: Simulate how the cell behaves over time (e.g., response to stimuli, gene expression, metabolic changes).  
Software Integration: Use Python, MATLAB, or R for custom programming and analysis of the cell's behavior.  

3. Game or Virtual Reality (VR) Cell

For immersive experiences (VR, games), you can create a virtual cell using gaming engines or VR platforms:
a. Game Engine (Unity/Unreal Engine):

3D Models: Model the cell and its organelles in Blender or another 3D modeling tool and import them into the game engine.  
Interaction: Set up interactions like zooming into the cell, exploring organelles in detail, or even navigating through processes like cell division or nutrient intake.  
Scripting: Write scripts to simulate cellular processes, such as energy production in mitochondria or the synthesis of proteins in the ribosomes.  

b. Virtual Reality Setup:

VR Hardware: Use a VR headset (e.g., Oculus Rift, HTC Vive) for an immersive experience. Users could "enter" the cell and walk through its components.  
User Interaction: In VR, allow the user to move around the cell, interact with organelles, and engage in educational tasks, such as solving puzzles based on cell biology.  

c. Simulating Cellular Processes:

Real-time Processes: Animate and allow the user to experience cellular processes in real-time, such as protein folding, mitosis, or the transport of molecules through the cell membrane.  

4. Simplified Virtual Cell (For Beginners)

If you’re just starting, a simpler approach might involve creating a 2D virtual cell using basic tools:
a. Graphical Representation:

Drawing Software: Create a simple diagram of the cell using a tool like Canva, PowerPoint, or Google Slides.  
Clickable Regions: In PowerPoint, for example, you can make different parts of the cell clickable, linking to separate slides with more detailed explanations.  

b. Educational Game:

Create a simple flash-based game or quiz using basic programming (HTML5/JavaScript or game engines like Construct 3) where users identify different cell parts or match them with their functions.  

Summary of Tools and Technologies for Creating a Virtual Cell:

Design: Illustrator, Photoshop, Blender (for 3D modeling)  
Programming: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, MATLAB, Unity, Unreal Engine  
Simulation: COPASI, CellDesigner, Virtual Cell, BioSPICE  
VR/AR: Unity 3D, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Blender  
Game Engines: Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Construct 3  

In essence, the approach depends on whether the virtual cell is meant for simple education, detailed biological simulation, or an immersive interactive experience.

You only need one. Standard is to use your router IP as local nameserver.
If your internet provider has issues with name resolutions, which happens sometimes, you can instead set 8.8.8.8 (Google’s nameserver) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare’s nameserver). But then you can’t ping other devices in your local network by name, and loading websites can be a tiny bit slower.

Same could be said for any game.

No. No, it really couldn’t.

Nameserver should be the IP of your router.
But you should check/set that with nmtui, then NetworkManager overwrites that file itself.

First step to check would be which packages were updated, and whether there are any .pacnew and .pacsave files in /etc
Cause that’s really the only way a pacman update can fuck up networking, by installing a new config file for a networking-related package.

sudo find /etc -name *.pac*

also check if there are systemctl services that didn’t come back up (most likely systemd-resolved)

sudo systemctl --failed
