  • KDE Plasma offers a UI similar to Windows out of the box, I would say that’s a good start. Introduce them to the endless customisation options and they might start to dig it. Maybe take a distro aimed at gaming like Bazzite.

    Other good options inlcude OpenSUSE or Linux Mint, the latter with another, but also similar feeling desktop.

    Although caution is advised, this is a slippery slope to becoming a programmer.


  • Lieber Kanzler Merz als Kanzlerin Weidel. Damit bleiben immerhin 4 Jahre, diesen Wahnsinn vielleicht noch in den Griff zu kriegen… Bzw. einen Plan B vorzubereiten.

    Ich denke der CxU ist inzwischen auch daran gelegen, die AfD zu bekämpfen. Zumindest lassen Aussagen der letzten Tage (bzgl. Parteifinanzierung, Überwachung und Staatsdienst) darauf schließen, dass der rein politische Kampf abgeschrieben ist.







  • Jeder weiß doch, dass Physik ab Lichtgeschwindigkeit ohnehin irgendwie macht, was sie will. Ich warte noch darauf, dass sich herausstellt, dass das an fundamental falschen Modellen liegt. Dann kann ich nämlich so tun, ich hätte mich um Quantenmechanik gedrückt, weil ich schon immer geahnt habe, dass das alles Quatsch ist, und nichts einen Spin, eine Chiralität, oder sonst irgendwelche ausgedachten Eigenschaften hat

    To correct some oversimplifications in this thread, let me just summarise some facts:

    Crypto is exactly as worthless as money.

    Not all crypto is bad for the climate, see for example Etherium and Solana.

    Crypto has legitimate uses, especially as a replacement for traditional bank transactions, which to remind everyone, are basically made up numbers and ‘trust me bro’-s. And I will explicitly include smart contracts and NFTs here, just to annoy people who don’t get them.

    Not all crypto is private. In fact, it was designed to be the opposite, hence most crypto isn’t private at all.

    While not all crypto is private, even less ways to spend or exchange crypto are private. A simple and also very private thing is cash.

    I think the main complaint is that it seems like Canonical is trying take control of Linux packaging. Don’t they handle their stuff in a way that pretty much prevents third party ‘Snap Stores’? Like, their backend being closed source and their software only accepting their own signatures?
