Who needs to sudo apt install firefox when it already comes preinstalled on most distros?

For beginners, I would definitely recommend Zorin OS since it can run .exe files in case there’s no Linux version (.deb, flatpak, snap, etc.) of the software you’re looking to run. You can use Wine in any other distro, but I feel like Zorin OS makes it foolproof with a simple UI.

When it comes to communicating well in English, it’s easy to get stuck between words that seem very similar. For example: poll vs vote, citizen vs civilian, politician vs representative. When you don’t know the difference between words, try to find what makes them different from each other.

For example: a poll can be an opinion poll, but a vote is only for an election. So all votes are a kind of poll, but not all polls are specifically votes.

Another example: a politician politically represents the will of their constituents. A representative may represent any company, organization, or government. So representatives generally represent groups of people, but politicians specifically represent their constituents in government.

Another example: what’s the difference between plausible and reasonable? Something reasonable means it’s logical or can be reached through reasoning. Something plausible is a story that makes sense, a good enough story that could actually happen. So something reasonable needs to have a relatively consistent logical thread to it, whole something plausible needs to make enough sense as to be possibly true.

When you are asking if something is plausible, you are asking if the story is true or if the reasons given make enough sense to make the story true. When you are asking if something is reasonable, you are asking if using your reasoning ability, you would come to the same conclusions.

+1 for Fedora. Red Hat’s new policy to restrict open source code though, IDK.

I’ve been using Kagi for about a month, and I have to say the searches are excellent! No more wasting time searching through over-SEO’d ad-ridden crap! Just high quality results!

Nice to see Kagi get mentioned!

I’ve been using Kagi for about a month now, and I love the quality of results you get. I’d say it’s still a niche product for people who need to do a lot of searches but can’t be bothered to dig through commercialized ad-driven SEO’d crap. I haven’t used the personalization features like lenses much, although it’s useful for finding PDFs and answers to programming questions.

What do you think about Kagi?
