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.

I find the yunohost mailserver pretty good ootb

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

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

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

It may be because I have all history turned off, and I run a pihole + ublock origin.

Since I started using a privacy respecting browser and moved to GNU/Linux, my whole life is captchas.

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

To be fair, the ternary operator can get messy.

Why not try simple scripts at first? You could write a little script in Bash, JS, or Ruby to create folders or text files. Besides the very basic stuff I did on the high school robotics team, my first programming project was when I worked as a print broker and we invested in a digital press. I needed a program to calculate the cost of a print job, so I learned a little BASIC and wrote a program on my TI-98 to do it for me. It would ask a series of questions (eg - paper cost, single / double sided, color / black and white, how many imposed on an SRA3 sheet, etc) and spit out the cost of the job.

As for how you use the code, say you write a ruby script; to run it, you’d navigate to the script directory in the terminal and type ./scriptName.rb to run it. If you’re using a compiled language, you’d compile it (your lessons would cover how to do this) and then you’d run the resulting binary the same way.

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
