99% of questions about libsoc theory were asked and answered 100 years ago in that one book alone haha

Seconding Navidrome. I stream from my Navidrome server to my phone, and then via DLNA from my phone to my HiFiBerry / stereo system. It’s very nice.

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 used to run a digital press that did this. It also made the print quality worse.

Unfortunately, you’re going to have to go through the list and decide whether you need each one

Forgive me.

KDE’s KOrganizer supports journal entries

Instagib is the only way to play!

I’m pretty sure I’d get obliterated now if I went back and tried to play

You night be surprised! I definitely have to shake the rust off, but I find it’s like riding a bike; the movement just becomes instinct.

I’ve been playing for years; I even used to rank in the top 100 DM players. It’s an outstanding game that doesn’t get near the attention / credit it deserves. The graphics still look good, it’ll run on a potato, fast, satisfying gameplay… it’s the best.

Back when I lived in the UK, I’d play instagib on german servers that were so full and the matches so intense that you couldn’t take a step after spawning before exploding if you hadn’t learned how to move quickly yet. It became an ambition to be able to get off of the spawn point, and I began to use those intense matches to wake me up after work every day.

Eventually, when logging on during the wee hours, I’d get to chatting with one or two other players on an empty server and they’d give me tips, or show me the secret rooms and easter eggs in some of the weirder community-made maps.

I don’t play much lately, but I do run a server to give a little back for all the fun. Anyway, yea, Xonotic is great.

Yes

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

There are lots of older KDE apps that could use some TLC.

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.

I just use plasma panels these days

Neat

I have a bad habit of sticking wooden things in the dishwasher. I might do the same with my fish spatulas haha.

Those chopsticks look like they could use being sanded + a touch of mineral oil.
