To be fair, the ternary operator can get messy.

Why not try simple scripts at first? You could write a little script in Bash, JS, or Ruby to create folders or text files. Besides the very basic stuff I did on the high school robotics team, my first programming project was when I worked as a print broker and we invested in a digital press. I needed a program to calculate the cost of a print job, so I learned a little BASIC and wrote a program on my TI-98 to do it for me. It would ask a series of questions (eg - paper cost, single / double sided, color / black and white, how many imposed on an SRA3 sheet, etc) and spit out the cost of the job.

As for how you use the code, say you write a ruby script; to run it, you’d navigate to the script directory in the terminal and type ./scriptName.rb to run it. If you’re using a compiled language, you’d compile it (your lessons would cover how to do this) and then you’d run the resulting binary the same way.

There are lots of older KDE apps that could use some TLC.

This looks great! I’ve been using Dsub for ages because it supports streaming via DLNA to my Hifiberry device. I’d love to find a 100% FLOSS app that also has this feature.

I just use plasma panels these days

Neat

Swipe typing is brutal

Same energy

There is nothing like a poke of chips. Somehow, something so simple truly has no analog in the US. I really don’t know what they do so differently.

I don’t think it was that - the way they wrap it is very quick and professional looking. The texture was nice in particular - a warm parcel of newspaper. Idk.

Tidal-dl ftw

I have a bad habit of sticking wooden things in the dishwasher. I might do the same with my fish spatulas haha.

In all likelihood, it’s rated for direct food contact on both sides, like the stickers on fresh fruit; you’re meant to be able to safely eat them (although you may not want to).

I remember when anything from a chippy came wrapped in newspaper. I don’t know why, but I really appreciated that as a kid.

Those chopsticks look like they could use being sanded + a touch of mineral oil.

Can confirm

Also, the community around a distro makes a difference. I don’t think that the EndeavourOS community has quite the lofty expectations of its users that Arch users do, so getting help might be a bit more pleasant.

My understanding is that a good desktop environment experience also relies on distro maintainers packaging things in a timely manner, et cetera.

Rooibos, mint, and chamomile for sure.

I can see that too. For me, coming to GNU/Linux as a windows power user, with Gnome, I just felt so limited and unempowered. Switching to Plasma helped me feel in control of my machine.
