Or specifically bred/GMOd soy and corn which gets used for animal food instead of soy and corn humans could eat.

(Nothing against GMO, but against our high animal produce consumption)

Its just that you can assemble words together with certain rules, to create compound nouns.

Not just today my dear

In german we call this a: "Sommerlochschlagzeile"

A "summer hole news headline". As it is normal that in the summertime, typically during the summer holidays, people are in their vacations, less happens in society and politics. And also the journalists are away more often, so more "nothingburgers" get made big by the media, who have to print something to fill their newspaper

Astrology has no merit to it. It got tested over and over again.

If you had to pick the 10 Aquariusses out of a group of a 120 people, you wouldnt get it better than me picking 10 people at random.

I'd say they are more "Commandline learning Games".

Idk if you can reduce learning Linux to learning to use the commandline.

Thanks :D

Yea, I underestimated the car dependency once again. Being "so poor they have to take public transit" is a crazy sentence to me. Our highest executive politicians, the Bundesräte (the left/green moreso than the right ones) regularly ride on public transport, in the more expensive 1. Class, and they expect not to be disturbed.

I mean its a swiss thing as well. Roger Federer and Justin Biber can just stroll through a city and only rarely get bothered by people for selfies.

Wow, as a swiss resident this comes across rude. Dont get me wrong, its nice to see politicians in discourse with the people but the guy just kinda said: "Hello, I have a question and now I have another quite hard to answer political question."

I'd have said: "May I ask you something politics related?" And then accepted a No if the politician wants to have a quite ride.

Behaving like this is going to encourage private travel in a car.

I instinctively do that as well, on Windows, Cinnamon and Plasma and it didnt work on Gnome, Superkey opened the Startmenu but then typing didnt search. Thats what I wanted to ask, if I miss something obvious or if Gnome doesnt offer that feature out of the box.

Debian probably changed the Key for the Spotlight-like search.

Short question because thats what made me swap to KDE: How do you quickly open an app, without navigating through the categories with your mouse?

Now make me look stupid :D

Very true in my limited experience

I upvoted you. <3 My experience was very similar but with the two swapped: After I used Linux Mint (with Cinnamon) I tried Debian, it came with Gnome.

I struggeled to find the apps (I dont know what they are called on a new OS) but I didnt find out how to search for them. Win+Type didnt search, I didnt see an obvious Spotlight feature like on apple.

Then I wanted to change some settings and couldnt change them (I dont remember what). I felt like customisation wise I'm using macOS, and thats a bad thing. So like you I reinstalled Debian with KDE after less than 1h in gnome.

Thats why we need different DEs, maybe they and their variations are more important than the huge selection of distros.

So the preinstallation of all the KDE apps is a choice of the distro?

On both Linux Mint and Debian+Plasma I got some apps preinstalled. That I can uninstall and that they arent developed by the same people doesnt play a role. For the user they come with the OS, like Win10 preinstalls the calculator and Candy Crush

I tested Gnome and KDE Plasma5 in the last year. KDE Plasma is in my opinion the first DE which is comparable with Win/MacOS. It looks modern, is pretty much feature complete and as an average user its nice to have useful apps preinstalled (calculator, libreoffice, firefox and so on), but no bloatware.

Its just a bit more customizable than windows, which is perfect and also not fiddly and a pain. It certainly has a handful of quirks, like Windows does, but you get used to them.

If I have to set up elderly relatives with a computer, I'd strongly consider a KDE Plasma Desktop

Hi, fellow non-american here. I use a prepaid card for online shopping and stuff like this. If there are suspicious transactions I can burn the card and request a new one.

Some onlinebanks even let you generate a new card with the exact needed amout for every transaction.
