#1 If someone has the macho habbit of not feeling in need of documentation, they need to unlearn it.

I use mainly fish and occasionally nushell.
I didn’t get far learning any language using free online resources (technically English, but that was/is rather a passive learning experience).
I mostly used Duolingo to take the first steps and to challenge my interest for the language. At a certain point I prefer language-specific services, e.g. for Esperanto there is lernu (I stopped that, because I hated a few concepts of the language).
I learn Japanese on and off. I’m currently at my third or fourth attempt I believe xD I tried a lot from (again) Duolingo, JapanesePod101 to Memrise. On the long-term I prefer to use online resources secondary, e.g. existing Anki vocabulary decks to guide my textbook. And for a language like Japanese I like to use different kinds of dictionaries, articles and historical context, because sometimes there simply isn’t a definite answer T_T
If the workflow at a workplace requires a consistent experience across all PCs…why doesn’t that workplace enforce that consistency?
I understand your frustrations, but corporate or organizational needs should not technically limit the personal needs of using a personal computer.
(And when people, used to a strict environment, are overwhelmed by the amount of freedom in their new environment, I think it’s better to guide them through the options instead of just taking away everyone’s freedom)
When my mom used her laptop, she was using arch btw! It was only for browsing though. Firefox was auto launched and she didn’t have to learn anything. It obviously wouldn’t have been a good choice, if I wasn’t able to do the updates.
Very happy with my Arch setup since 3-4 years I believe. But my laptop that I use and update too irregularly to justify having Arch on it, probably needs an alternative :D
If it’s your first distro, then it might be an overkill.
I’d first start out with a readymade distro, because maybe it already fits your needs and wants. If you get to a point where you spend a lot of time on rebuilding your setup or distro-hopping, then Arch can be considered.
(Not because you are lazy. I’m lazy, too, but maintenance isn’t much work, unless you’re running updates too infrequently. You should check the news before updating. Many users don’t and even then when you “break” something, it’s not too difficult to identity the problem and fix it with the great help of ArchWiki, the community and chroot.)
I know people mean it well and I respect that. But it’s a little indirect insult, when their first reaction is to assume that you feel bad about it and to patronize you.
Of course there are people with that mindset among short dating men who often aggressively blame women’s standards. So I try to be not too upset about it.
#1 finds ways to not give you a solution despite having one. #2 finds ways to give you a solution despite not having any.
What disrupted the fun for me:
It can be worth the effort, if the tool fit your needs and wants in the first place.
If we reduce the question to application software, it’s probably Alacritty.
Gendered pronouns in most sentences are a waste and often lead to a false ascertainment. While I don’t use ‘it’ for everyone, I would love to get used to it.
I haven’t seen any negative criticism on chillicheescript here.
In my opinion taking your time to find the Linux distribution you like the most, is not only a great learning experience, but also allows you to learn more about your own preferences.
I’ve never seen a more mysterious and adventurous description of Linux. Just in case you ever write a novel on your first steps in Linux, you should know that you’ve got one reader already.
Kenshi came to my mind at first, but due to the difficulties to actually hear the music in-game, I’ll say Witcher 3 instead.
I prefer CLI for many applications, because GUIs have become more difficult and overwhelming to use.
That’s what I asked Annette.
