I was trying for this. Probably should have have just pasted it.

Why use more words when less is easier.
Lol. I’m not a Mac person. Airbook? The thin ones.
Is plasma big screen really an option? Id like to install it on a desktop to act as a android tv. Launch Stremio, YT and maybe one or two other apps/websites. Easy big tile navigation with remote (flirc).
It’s in dev since 2020. The images hosted on the site are bit for any of my hardware. It says theres a Debian package. Installed that though LMDE but it was horrible. Somone mentioned Kububtu can install it with apt, but its not listed. Think I’ll give up.
My limited knowledge and time force me to certain distros. Some of my stuff only works on EOS, others only on Mint.
It’s easier to install another distro than spend another hour troubleshooting. I know “just read the wiki” but sometimes we don’t have the skills, imagine a neckbeard trying to “just have a shower, and get out the basement”.
It makes it even more tempting to move back to Windows where I can just plug and play. But I’m forcing myself not to. … Well that and Win11 isn’t supported.
And re things not working. I’ll not even a gamer with special hardware. Just use it for web browsing and citrix for WFH.
I’m new to Linux and use Endeavor OS. Its Arch BTW so everything I do I just look up the Arch Wiki.
Endeavour comes with KDEPlasma, or you can pick others. It also has basic applications like Firefox and media players. But nothing in the way of office etc.
I think Manjaro is similar but deviates from arch a bit.
I looked into that font when I head about it. Peer reviewd studies seem to agree with you. It’s also mainly the size and reglar spacing that helps.
Devil’s advocate. Helps ESL speakers and dyslexics. Probably bad for tts scream readers though.
For me it’s the wiki. Arch just explaining so simply. Searching an issue for LMDE just lead to forums. And the Debian or Ubuntu wikis don’t seem as good as arch.
Plus must searches for <other distro> issue seem to lead to forums and random “run this code”. All arch searches led back to the Wiki. All hail the wiki.
But srsly. I feel like I’m LEARNING Linux with arch. Rather than just running fixes for the other distros.
It was night and day for me. I’ve found vivanvce better than ridalin. I’m technically only prescribed rodalin atm though. But keep forgetting to take the afternoon dose. Who could see that coming. 😅
Nothing is more frustrating than finding a note and wondering what it means or if you did it.
New to the diagnosis. That’s a HARD yes from me.
That goes into cyber space where I never see or remember it again.
Note: Pack X and Y for weekend.
Weekend comes. Fuuuuug forgot X and Y.
This. In my recent experience on one laptop. Arch (Endevour OS btw) installed fine.
But LMDE would not boot. I got a system disk missing error every time after install. So much playing with EUFI settings in BIOS, boot back to live disl, multiple re installs, GRUB repair, remake the ISO (ISO was fine, installed on another PC with no issues). Gave up. Just could not boot to the OS.
Install normal mint. No issues.
And past the install? Bluetooth dongle works fine on arch, but so many issues on mint.
WiFi dongle A works on arch, but not mint. WiFI dongle B dosenr work on arch but does work on mint. Took me a while to work thst one out.
Headphpnes have some weird echo back to me when mic is on. Use pipewire config from archwiki. Worked, but reduced qualoty. Tried a few other configs. Didn’t work. Must have broke something coz now the original config dosnt work. So will just deal with echo.
0 of these issues on windows. And 0 likely your regular user can easily swap to Linux.
Will stay on arch tho. Fuck spez windows.
Seems to be the exact question OP is asking. Except you’ve written it as a satabment instead of a question.
This is what I’ve unknowingly been doing. All my open source apps are in Linux. The transition was pretty smooth.
Even though KDE Connect came with Endeavour OS (arch BTW) I had to allow some firewall settings.
As a noob where do I find more handy tips like this? Alone with handy/popular apps?
Almost every windows app I had was on Linux (most were FOSS already) but I know there will be some unique or interesting ones.
For example in android there is Obtanium now to update apps direct from git, or the many was to use YT without ads.
What is the videos and games are you seeing water marks in?
