Probably like the sand that looks loke amazing snowflakes. The image for that one used selected granules from thousands (billions). Most sand is just ugly, and micro plastics.
Not on the same meds. But Vivance and to a a degree Ritalin give me the energy to do things.
Instead of walking past the thing and taking on yeah I'll do that later. I can just do it.
And I'm able to complete one task before starting another one. I find myself turning to a task and think nope, finish this one first.
Or Ive noticed I can even have for Sight to think do I really have time/need to do whatever my brain wants to do right now. No. Ive got to leave in 5mins.
Gimp and PS made no sense to me. Ive learnt $d modling over time and don't it fairly easy.
Started with Tinkercad. Its fine for the basics. Square plus circle minis triangle etc. It dosnt have a timeline or parametric though, so small changes are pretty hard.
Mixed to fusion360. Free if you can navigate the site. Heaps of tutorials non lone and really solid to. Basically draw in 2d and extend. Draw in 2d and cut. Heaps non other use full ways to modify things too. Its parametric so you can say one side is X long. And change X and the model will scale.Focus on the 2d shapes, fully constraining them and making them simple.
Moved to Onshape. Its not got the 10active models that fusion has. And runs (surprisingly well) in browser. i can jump on any PC (work cough) and make edits. The tools (for most people) are on par with fusion and I found it more initiative.
Watch heaps of builds on fusion and you'll get the just pretty quickly.
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.
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?
