Can you elaborate on this for a Linux noob?

I spent an entire weekend setting up Ubuntu, and then wss extremely jaded when I could barely get anything to work, and even getting Flash in the browser was a huge pain in the ass. So I only use my windows side partition now, and its just easier....

Still mostly do everything on my Mac anyway


> even getting Flash in the browser was a huge pain in the ass

One thing that you have to remember is that what is easy and hard in Linux is different than what is easy and hard in Windows and MacOS.

Flash is one example. Since it is not Free and Open Source Software, the Linux distributions cannot redistribute it to you without risking being sued by Adobe. So if you want Flash you will need to jump some hoops.

On the other hand, if the software you want is in your distro's package repository then the installation experience blows Windows and MacOS out of the water.


I have just finished a game that has fun core gameplay, and Id like to continue building it out for optimization.

However, we were already running in to issues where phaser was limiting us. Current build already has server lobbies, and after putting that into prod, I'd like yo add matchmaking and team based modes.

And what is the reason your business would benefit by being verified? I am unfamiliar with the concept I guess


Pretty simple, people see the checkmark and value you more. Also stand out in search and some threaded conversions.


I suspect it'll be a much weaker signal when every business has it.


Google at least claims that when showing your business in the knowledge graph, the social network profiles it links to have to be "verified."

> Google only shows verified profiles for sites with a verification process. In some cases, Google algorithms find information that is publicly available on the web. You can use this markup to override the information Google finds automatically, but you can't specify not to list a social profile.

So that your users know you are who you say you are


What are you coding that you're receiving contracts for?


Can you elaborate?


I spent my first 5 years after university as an employee because "everybody has a job" and it never occurred to me that I might freelance or start my own business.

Doubly pitiful because I didn't need that much income back then, and later it became much more complicated to stop being employee due to higher cost of living in a place I moved to and due to need to support the family.
