I had this issue for a while but about a decade ago I stumbled upon someone who said “every thing should have it’s own home, and you put that thing where it lives” and it becomes somehow a lot easier.

Living with other people throws a spanner in the works but at least the thing is there much more often.

Vote for Ed Davie if you get the chance.

Já maður, Bandaríkin sökka velkominn til landsins.

I like my stuff hidden anyway so I don’t care all to much. I disable leds usually because they are distracting but keep one solid led to indicate whether the system is on or not.

I mean, if they insist on everything being in Dutch then at least include a flag. If you’re going this deep on the UK obviously having the list in the native language is preferable.

The reason for the list above being all in Dutch might be because it’s a list of countries, not a list of languages. (I speak some Dutch)

They’re going to hiss at me aren’t they?

Lol, gottem

There has been no change in the way microwaves work aside from circuit board and adding an inverter to control the power of the microwaves. Microwaves function the same as a laser pointer except the emit photons with a frequency of 2.45GHz.

Where do you put the tooth paste?

If people really insist then at least have a flag emoji

Vetrarbrautin in Icelandic, meaning “winter track”. Similar to Swedish vintergatan

TL;DR: Try installing some on virtual box, by all means try Linux mint cinnamon but also try Ubuntu and Fedora KDE.

Linux has some jargon and since you want to learn I’ll give you a quick rundown of how a variation of Linux is composed.

“Kernel” is what makes Linux Linux. It’s a way of interacting with the hardware.

A “distribution” or “distro” is a one of the many flavors of Linux.

They are usually “based” on a common foundation like Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Nix and whatever. These also work like an onion where Mint is based on Ubuntu which in turn is based on Debian, all of which use some version of the Linux kernel.

A that’s just a base will just get you a terminal (also called a shell or console) and is very useful to make a server for example.

What most people think of as an OS is the user interface (i.e. clickable shit). The terminology in Linux for that is “desktop environment” (DE).

You’ll see a lot of distributions mix and watch between a base and a desktop environment such as Fedora with KDE, Ubuntu (Ubuntu with Gnome), Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE), Bazzite (Fedora silverblue base with either gnome, KDE or deck DE).

You mentioned Cinnamon. Cinnamon is a desktop environment for Mint so a Linux Mint Cinnamon contains the code of the following:

Linux kernel, Debian, Ubuntu and Mint as a base and Cinnamon to interact with it by using a mouse and keyboard.

There are currently three bases that are really popular right now, Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch. In the DE there are currently two that are most advanced, namely KDE and Gnome but Cinnamon is not far behind.

In all honestly, none of this matters all too much, just install a couple of popular distros on a virtual machine like Virtual Bok and do a vibe check.

Take a couple of these, install some programs and fuck around with the settings for a bit, install themes and whatever or watch a quick YouTube video on it:

• Ubuntu (gets hate for being corporate but is solid, uses Gnome)
• Linux mint Cinnamon
• Fedora KDE
• EndavourOS (an arch based distro that’s supposedly easy, haven’t tried it)
• Bazzite (weird way to install programs through the package manager but hard to fuck up beyond repair)
• Something with the Xfce DE just to see the “lightweight” look.

Factorio is crack, the space age expansion also is great.

Maybe they’re scared that project Cybersyn would actually work

Upvote stuff I like such as positive news, shitposts, windows bad and Linux good posts.

Downvote rarely, only if the post is factually wrong or misleading and I’ve spent the time to confirm. “Person shreds other person” is a shit headline and unless he hit a 10 point debate combo with a knockout I’d Downvote.

Don’t shove spring rolls up your ass, shove autumn wraps into the digestive system in reverse. :)
