I think (I may be wrong here) that Debian wild be good enough for beginners. Their stable branch is, well… stable, and i didn’t run into that many issues (I think it would only be when you want to run stuff that isn’t either a flatpak or in the repos, like i tried to do with howdy). Testing would also be good ,but expect a few issues.

I think endeavor OS could also do well. in my experience, the install process was easy, kinda like Debian (the first distro I installed). Dare I say it is easier than (or maybe slightly comparable to) Arch with archinstall?

They are talking about how discover has backends for flatpak, snaps, deb, and fwupd. not that they are together in the Ubuntu sense or other, just that they can be managed in the same application. Therefore snaps in discover are completely optional

heard that arch was Canadian (originated from)

ELI5? I know Greece has/had economic struggles, but don’t know what part the euro played in it.

Or maybe I’m misunderstanding your comment?

I had the same experience. Asked a local LLM about using sole Qt Wayland stuff for keyboard input, a the only documentation was the official one (which wasn’t a lot for a noob), no.examples of it being used online, and with all my attempts at making it work failing. it hallucinated some functions that didn’t exist, even when I let it do web search (NOT via my browser). This was a few years ago.

I’d agree with that sentiment, but at least for me, if we went with all flatpacks, i’d be losing the one ability that I like about appimages, which is as a one-time-use type of “installation”. They’re kind of like those windows EXEs that you could just run in place without needing to install. very useful for stuff like raspberrypi imager where I don’t need to keep it around much

I use wine with winetricks for the manager and the other stuff that makes it easier. I also use q4wine. It’s a GUI for wine written in Qt. Both makes things simpler to varying degrees, and winetricks does have some scripts (though I don’t know how they would compare to lutris)

I switched to QOwnNotes. It’s lighter than Joplin since it doesn’t use Electron. The only things I miss are highlighting (have to use an extension if I remember correctly), and LaTeX (mainly use this for mathematics formulas).

I tried this with a local model on my phone (qwen 2.5 was the only thing that would run, and it gave me this confusing output (not really a definite answer…):

it just flip flopped a lot.

E: also, looking at the response now, the numbers for the car part doesn’t make any sense

that’s what private cities and walled off estates are for

I would just like to add that there is a school (I think in California) that the rich sends their kids to, where electronic devices are prohibited (and access restricted I believe). Though from the video, it does look lie the interact with others outside of that circle.

rn, it’s 20 out, and it’s pure bliss 😁. I especially love the slow breeze that sometimes blows. It’s a lovely break from the summers where I live, where it’s usually 30 degrees

My parents are pretty much the same. Trying to get my dad to trust and/or use KMyMoney (or GNUCash for that matter) is like an uphill battle.

My family used to use Signal after the whole WhatsApp fiasco a few years ago. Everything was going fine until we switched back because of a family emergency. I suggested switching back several times after that, but to no avail :(

Ahhh. The cars I’ve been in (the most) are pre-2015 (2007 and 2014). Thanks!

I have a few friends who know how to sew, and they all say it’s an essential skill, and they did actu use that skill. I am also thinking of picking it up…

For context, me (and my friends) are all under 20

They no longer put […] cigarette lighters in vehicles

I thought they still did? Just isn’t referred as “Cigarette lighter” anymore?

This might be me being kind of pedantic, but this might actually be adwaita instead of LO. I’ve noticed on RNote (a GTK app that uses adwaita), that the save icon is as you described, whereas on KDE’s breeze and oxygen icon themes (and I’m sure many others), the save icon is still a floppy.

I’d also recommend the A series (I got recommended the A1 from a friend when I was starting out), and it’s been pretty great so far. As for the slicers, I know you can use OrcaSlicer with Bambu printers (as well as with a ton of others too)
