Got a libre2 recently as a gift. My first ereader. I was able to plug it into the PC. Change a line of code and reboot.

Thst made the email prompt go away.

Then installed koreader and syncthing on it. I DL books on Android and it syncs over to Kobo. I can even read via koreader app on andrpid and it syncs progression.

Why use calibre at all? KO reader and Sync thing seams to be fine for my mobile to e reader. And syncs progress.

What am I missing?

Desert just looks amateur and something thst might have competed with XP.

https://surveys.debian.net/ took me a minute to find the vite link.

Does the action run on incoming our outgoing calls? Sorry if question is autistic.

This is a pretty good start to make Mint (Cinnamon) look better.

Its basically mall built-in tools.

I ended up just putting icons in the middle (to prepare for works Win11 enshitification).

I also put a user button near the time to allow shutdown and removed the god awful power icons from the start menu (or whatever the app launcher is called).

Theres also an extend thin for a bigger start menu more like a grid but thats personal preference.

I think mint should do some of these things so its not so off putting. It held me back forming for so long but IRS much better.

I prefer mint over fedora. Fedora dosnt seem to have as many apps in the store. Yes you can use a terminal but thats not helping linux become mainstream, mint is.

+1 mint also prompts new users to setup timeshift backups.

Tubular does have sponsorblock tho. So.

Apart from the WordPress issue. Bitwarden mixup. And Linux getting into US/Israel politics.

Signed. Negative Nancy.

Endeavour IS is arch with KDE and a few basic apps. Pretty sure you dont need WiFi to test it. For any issues you can just use the arch wiki. I really enjoyed it as first distro as the wiki is so helpful. I moved to Mint tho (not DE) and have loved not having to use the terminal for anything.

Pretty sure DDG just uses bing results. Try in bing OP see what you get.

I installed an emoji quick search app (not sure what one). It freezes Wayland/mint.

I tried Wayland once and didnt realise I was still logging in with it.

Maybe I misunderstood. Are launchers more like “search” or quick lunch?

I was looking for a start menu replacement.

Playing along for Mint/Cinnamon suggestions. Already using the Cinimenu (or whatever it is) but its still not “it”.

Droidify > Neo Store.

…at least for me.

Probably not the place to ask, but. Say In a n00b and have Arch (EndeavourOS BTW) on a 15+ year old laptop. Everything works fine hardware wise. Software is fairly basic web, Inkscape, LibreOffice.

Do I really need all the latest Arch updates? Or can I just do an update say every 6 months?

The sync looks to be a version of KDE connect. That I have running on Mint. I think I had to install it from the Mint software GUI though.

Zorin does look cool though. As easy as it is Mint/Cinnamon is a bit ugly out of the box.

How does this compare for a user who “just wants things to work without terminal/CLI”.

I’ve landed on Mint after trying a few other distros.

TV let’s you turn off various flags per app.

TC runs as a (local I assume) VPN service. So doubt it.
