It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains.
The stains become a warning.

My EndeavourOS (and the prior Manjaro distro) had all of them installed.
All. Of. Them.
I am so tired of having to scroll through hundreds of Noto fonts to get to the later ones, but I'm afraid, if I uninstall one, something will break on reboot.
Not sure if it counts, but obsidian for notes and my daily journal, and latte-dock to replace the stock KDE app bar.
Oh, and emacs with doom for general text editing and most coding tasks.
emacs with doom FTW.
Looking forward to learning how to get tree tabs in FF.
+1 for btop - so much easier to find and kill runaway processes.
I just hopped both my laptop and desktop from Manjaro to Endeavour - so far, so good. I'm still restoring files from backup and installing stuff, so it's still early days, but already things are feeling better.
There was a story once that said if you put an infinite number of monkeys in front of an infinite number of typewriters, they would eventually produce the works of William Shakespeare.
So far, the Internet has not shown that to be true. Example: Twitter.
Now we have an artificial monkey remixing all of that, at our request, and we're trying to find something resembling Hamlet's Soliloquy in what it tells us. What it gives you is meaningless unless you interpret it in a way that works for you -- how do you know the answer is correct if you don't test it? In other words, you have to ensure the answers it gives are what you are looking for.
In that scenario, it's just a big expensive rubber duck you are using to debug your work.
Not just parents -- my wife has an unhealthy mobile game addiction. We've talked about it and talked about it, but it's still a heavy draw for her.
If you want to use gimp as an ALTERNATIVE and go in without the bias, you’ll likely learn your way around a LOT faster.
I think this is the key phrase -- do you want an alternative (where you might have to learn new ways of doing things), or do you want a clone? GIMP is not a clone, but an alternative.
I also think this gets to something I was told loooooooooong ago, when I was a young lad asking what was the best computer to buy. Someone told me, "Find all the software you want/need to run, and get the computer that will run it all."
In other words, if you need to use Photoshop, then maybe you don't use Linux -- maybe stick with Mac or (shudder) Windows.
There's a great dissection of this whole thing by Legal Eagle on YT from last week, if you don't mind going there.
This is what Cory Doctorow calls "enshittification", and it's part of the reason I'm on Mastodon and Lemmy now.
My first reaction would be to acknowledge them as a fellow geek, but that's because most of the people who live near me would hurt themselves trying to open Notepad. Anyone who knows enough to start hacking my config files would be a welcome guest in my house.
Then I'd kill them with a hammer. :-)
