That depends. Lyrabar, the port city with a seedy criminal underbelly is at the southernmost point of Impiltur, on the northern shore of the Sea of Fallen Stars.

The Flying City Lyrabar and its counterpart the Sunken City exist only in my campaign's Faerûn

That's the thing, I don't know enough to know what to even ask. So far I've been able to follow step-by-step instructions for installing Mint and downloading software, but I don't know what I'm doing at all.

One example of something I spent hours on is adding Cura to the panel. I finally got that done while I was writing this comment by following AndyMH's answer here.

Now, I can read

I would move the appimage into a folder in PATH. If you create a folder /home/you/bin it is automatically added to PATH next time you boot.

And I can do that. I have no idea what PATH is or why I want to do that, but I can do it. And I can look it up, and I'm sure I'll eventually get to a point where all of this makes sense to me, but I feel kind of helpless when I have to look up multiple terms every time I want to do something as simple as adding an application to the panel

Mint, judge me

PS anyone have any favorite resources for absolute tech illiterate noobs? I'm trying, but without a baseline understanding of the subject, it's hard to find the right guides

My 300 year old gnome wizard has made it to level 20 six times now, mastering each of the schools of magic before returning to Candlekeep to study the next (and lose all his levels through decades of inactivity)

He's on divination now, and assuming he doesn't die during this campaign, he'll finally master necromancy within the next century

There's an entire map full of cool place names begging you to customize them. Lyrabar, a port city with a seedy criminal underbelly? Boring. Lyrabar, the city in the sky, held in place by chains forged in an alliance between the dwarves and the giants? Now we're talking

For someone who hasn't DMd before, a premade adventure makes it a hell of a lot easier to learn how to structure it. For someone who has DMd before, a premade adventure makes running the game a lot easier

I compare it to using MechJeb in KSP. If you can't do without it, use it. If you can do without it but you want to save the time and energy, use it.

Guys this took me way too long to transcribe but I could not go without posting it. wizardlyghost wrote that shit in iambic pentameter. This is the first time I've ever seen someone use iambic pentameter when imitating Shakespeare, and they did it fucking flawlessly

ETA Y'all magpiecrown illustrated this and it's the best

(Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution's brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.

Imagine you're a bartender, and every time someone orders a shot, you have to take one too. One? Totally fine. Two? No problem. A hundred? You're gonna want a bucket (or a lead shield) to dump that shot (or radiation) in

Hating both is the only based take. All billionaires are evil, even if you really really like their music.

You're fuckin dreaming if you think this silly airplane meme is equivalent to the hate we send Musk's way all the time, constantly

"Young" could be misinterpreted as 18. "Underage" is the right word.
