Before the last word.

What’s a beginner to do

Well that’s just it; Endeavour is not a beginner distro. It’s not designed to be. Endeavour is Arch with a graphical installer and some modest quality of life improvements for users who are otherwise willing to trawl through the Arch wiki for answers. The welcome app really just seems to be there so that you don’t have to memorize all the commands or set up aliases, etc, if you don’t want to.

So when you ask “am I supposed to X,” the answer is that there really isn’t a set-in-stone workflow to accomplish anything on EOS or Arch; what you’re supposed to do is read the manual, so to speak, and decide for yourself how you want to go about things.

Unlike some other Arch based distros like BlendOS and Manjaro, Endeavour is still very much a DIY distro.

Don’t use GUI package managers, but here, have some GUI package managers.

What GUI package managers are you referring to? EOS doesn’t supply any.

AFAICT they made something more confusing than Arch, not less.

If I’m not mistaken, this is all stuff you should also be doing on Arch. The single difference is that EOS provides a button in their “Welcome” app that will helpfully run a command for you in a terminal for some of these tasks.

I have never had a single landlord where this isn’t the case, except in instances where they are too cheap to even hire professionals to do things that they don’t have the skill to do, and they get their dipshit son to “fix” the sink that fell clean out of the kitchen counter with a lumpy bead of clear silicone and a 1’ piece of 2x4 wedged underneath.

Forgive me.

KDE’s KOrganizer supports journal entries

Generally, I’ll do RAW editing in something like Darktable, and then do actual retouching work in Krita.

Yea, it really is very good. I’m not sure what you mean by gamut tools, but there are out of gamut warnings, gamut masks, histograms, etc.

Krita has CMYK, and very good non-destructive editing these days. It’s my preferred photo editor, including for the occasional magazine ad work I do. It also has great support for PS files, including smart layers, etc, plus it has layer effects, masking, filter layers, GPU accelerated canvas, and G’MIC support covers a lot of the fancier pbotoshop stuff like content-aware fill. IMO, for the workflow and interface alone, it’s leagues ahead of G***.

I use Krita as an image editor and I prefer it.

With Yunohost being a thing, I’m down to nothing.

Yes

Yep!

So bizarre; foods like this already exist everywhere. In india they’re called far far, in UK chinese restaurants they call them prawn crackers, in Mexico they’re chicharrones de harina or duritos, and if you don’t have access to any of these options where you live, you can literally just fry rice noodles or spring roll wraps and they’ll puff up. So why the toothpicks?!

Invidious. It’s to be expected for something like that though.

This looks great! I’ve been using Dsub for ages because it supports streaming via DLNA to my Hifiberry device. I’d love to find a 100% FLOSS app that also has this feature.

Swipe typing is brutal

Tidal-dl ftw

I think that often, people use the word respect in a different way when it comes to magical thinking. Religious people often use the word to mean exempt from examination, or beyond reproach. While it’s undoubtedly disrespectful to subject a person to an assault on their beliefs for no good reason, when those beliefs begin to play a role in decisions that will affect others, they can and should be challenged; people oughtn’t be shocked to learn that if they bring their beliefs into the public discourse around a policy decision, they’ll be subject to the same level of scrutiny as any other way of thinking or approaching a problem.

Rooibos, mint, and chamomile for sure.
