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?
heard that arch was Canadian (originated from)

32·28 days agoI 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.
Til. Pretty cool feature.

7·2 months agoI 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…

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.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•What's a good entry level printer these days?English
78·3 months agoI’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)
Same here. I mostly type on my phone alot. So autocorrect here is a lifesaver, either that or I will type slower/ with one thumb.
Yes. They added it a few months ago i believe.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why did you decide to join Lemmy?English
3·3 months agoYeah, that is a big plus too (that, and the federation). This can hopefully mean that lemmy can never turn into what reddit currently is.




I was wondering the same thing. I would assume so since it’s under an image of Epstein.
