I'm a Linux (fedora) user and I recently started working on an Algo Quant project, so I wanted to use MT5 terminal but it's only available for windows. Is there any way to get it work in my Linux?

There is a great video by freecodecamp where they interview an IT expert about this issue that we're talking about here. (Check it out when you're free)
His argument is that they're two types of programmers.
The first type of programmers are those who do it for the love of the game. Well, they can always code so it doesn't matter.
The second type are those who code to provide value. And now better than ever, they have the opportunity to provide more value than they were ever able to.
So it's all a win-win.

Dreams fade faster. When we wake up, it feels like we remember everything for like 20 minutes. As day goes by, it blurs

If you do want to remember, try to when you wake up and keep a journal.

It feels like I’m stuck on loop, trying to solve something over and over. 😵😵‍💫

Actually does. Thing is, I rarely remember my dreams, as I have been very strange and eventually stopped paying attention. But that night I woke up and had to remove the patch. And when I woke in the morning, I not only remembered more than one dream, but they actually felt like I was experiencing them rather then dreaming them.

21mg 24-hour patches applied before bed. Sleep vivid!

It's actually a known side-effect. Well documented. The theory is that nicotine keeps you in lighter sleep stages longer, which increases the time in REM.

That’s interesting. Does it trigger some chemical while sleeping?

And this is kinda funny since I always have to play it on the edge.

Just for context, I managed to patch the game.

I'm not really into cracking things but jesus, I just want to play a game I bought on windows using crossover and I ended up patching the shit out of it using ghidra.

Yeah, they are faded now. I just remember that people around me were in the dream

Recently, I had a dream which I remembered. It’s been a while since I got a morning dream.

I hate fever dreams. Half awake state feels like that

I imagine that is comforting

Some people find that comforting. No matter what they do, they've been destined to be there.

It means we never have control. I hate that feeling

And all of this only because bandai decided I can't play the game using wine.

Not entirely. I mean, there is a small mf issue. Basically the problem is a check the game does randomly. I can patch it the first and the second time but there is no clue about when it is going to happen again.
