I think the main problem lies in the community.

Not everyone, but a few vocal rotten apples are hostile to new users who either:

1. Don’t already know the answer to their own question

2. Are not using their distro

3. Didn’t immediately read the wiki entry for their exact problem

This kind of gatekeeping is why some people are put off of Linux and the community as a whole. Just because someone asks a question you think is obvious, doesn’t mean it’s obvious to them.

I’ll take the guanteed $1000 and not the mystery box so the prediction is always wrong :)

I try to follow the 3, 2, 1 backup procedure:

• 3 copies
• Spread across at least 2 devices (Computer, Server, other devices)
• At least 1 copy on a separate storage disk (USB flash drive)

Still no shape tool /j

The only thing I miss is paint.net.

• Newer versions don’t run in WINE.
• Pinta, a fork of paint.net, is old and is missing many features of modern paint.net.
• Some alternatives, like Krita, are more for drawing, whereas I use paint.net for image editing.
• GIMP lacks a shape tool.

Thank you so much! One more thing: would there be a way to check if the user has playerctl installed on their system? Or is there a Python package like it?

I like to use white on a transparent/glossy color.

Kind of like this (very old pic I know):

My old Vista machine blue-screened mid-gameplay many years ago, and the computer was completely corrupted (would only boot in Safe Mode).

I feel JavaScript should be more of a backend scripting language, like with Node, than a frontend. PHP can already accomplish a lot of what JS can do, just on the server-side as opposed to client-side.

PHP+CSS is really all you need to make something feel good. People often use JS to make a site look good, yet it usually suffers in functionality.

Woah what theme is that? It looks cool.

I would say it’s not safe to stand on a toilet period.

Looks interesting. How does it compare to FreeTube on desktop?

No no, I think they mean “I’m sorry you feel that way.”

So far, Linux has been great for me for most common apps, however there are a few niche apps that don’t run natively on Linux and are borked under wine.

paint.net is the main issue currently as the devs have stated they won’t make any other ports, and the latest versions have a “Garbage” rating on WineHQ. There is Pinta, which is based off an older version, but it’s not good enough for my use cases.

So, for the time being, I’m stuck with using a Win10 VM with a shared folder to use paint.net.

(And before anyone asks: No, GIMP will not work for me. It lacks the tools and plugins I use frequently with paint.net)

Linux distro derivatives of existing Linux distros, such as an “Arch-based” or “Debian-based” distro.

E.g. EndeavourOS is an Arch-based distro (derivative of ArchLinux). Ubuntu is a Debian-based distro, etc.

Material Files for me. It feels like KDE’s Dolphin if it had an android port.

I would say it was alright. I may not have had many friends, but that extra time I had allowed me to get into programming with JavaScript and Python.

For ZSH, I have a script that automatically installs oh-my-zsh and a bunch of zsh plugins, and changes my default shell to ZSH.

For everything else, some files will just get copied over, others left behind. I only “manage” them when I need to view/edit them.

Do you know what version you updated from?

Was this a fresh install?
