    As someone that tends to learn most by doing. Most of these comments are excellent my only suggestion is to try it. Most Linux distros come with live images which you dont need to install to test out.

    Just download the ISO and put it on a USB and then boot from the usb. You can even make a multiboot USB with ventoy.

    Or you can use distrosea to demo a distro in a browser.

    I also highly suggest using the arch wiki for research. It will probably go into much more depth than you need at first but it will also not dumb things down or over simplify things for you so you might actually learn. Take this doc on what a DE is for instance, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_environment




  • Its a ploy in that people assume they are eating fruit and not some kind of pulp that’s next to the actual fruit. Jackfruit rags don’t sound too tasty so they leave it out purposefully. I understand but wouldn’t mind if they invented another word to use so if I actually serve jackfruit fruit to people it’s not weird for them by how different it is from the rags.

    I still think it’s strange that the seeds aren’t also marketed as edible. Its kinda like potato once boiled so I guess potatoes are just easier to use in a large scale.




  • As someone who loves Jackfruit, i think the actual fruit bulb of one is much too sweet for a pizza topping.

    What you are talking about is actually a byproduct of the fruit which is called the rags. Which can be cooked and eaten, as well as the seeds. Although in my opinion the seeds are much tastier than the rags, just boil them till soft. get yourself a fresh jackfruit and try it.

    I think it’s great that we can find ways to eat more parts of the jackfruit, but the fact that most Americans think that jackfruit is just the rags and not the actual fruit means that they never had a fresh one and instead fell for a marketing ploy.





  • You probably won’t be able to run an LTS kernel on a brand new PC that just hit the market. But using the most recent kernel for arch or a derivative like endevorOS should work after like a week maximum.

    I did have an issue like this on Ubuntu and its what made me actually start distro hopping since it worked fine on fedora and Arch using the latest kernels.

    True, but some are more so than others. Like in spirited away. It’s kinda more just hinted at and it’s not central to the plot of the film. Which is why I think it’s more popular of a film in countries that rely on war and exploitation.

    You should try a few more.

    • Castle in the sky
    • Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
    • Grave of the fireflies (followed by My Neighbor Totoro as it was originally released as a double feature)

    I’m not sure why Spirited away seems to be the go to Ghibli film (maybe it is less offensive) but it’s probably one of my least favorites from the studio.

    From a maximum security perspective, you should be checking all the code you install on your computer. No matter if it is foss, audited by some group, or proprietary (if possible). What would stop a bad actor from auditing malicious code and approving it?

    As for sandboxing, there’s multiple options, not the least of which is containerization.

    Again, security is a compromise. More security normally comes at some cost just as less security does.

    But back to the topic of the post. You are complaining that SimpleX doesn’t work when installed though a flatpak (because one doesn’t exist). So perhaps it’s not a good software to rely on flatpaks for. Unless you choose to only install software via flatpaks, to which I’d say that’s admirable but also perhaps needlessly limiting. Either way it’s your choice, but I would suggest some open mindedness of options that may let you use the software you want.
