  • Aside from all controversy around snaps and stuff, which newbies don’t have to get into, there’s GNOME coming as default.

    Desktop environments essentially define how the new user treats the system and Linux as a whole. And I believe GNOME is a terrible starting point, at least for those coming from Windows.

    It follows entirely different logic, is very different visually, and overall, adds a lot of extra confusion.

    IMO, for a smooth transition, you’d rather offer something based on KDE or at least Cinnamon. Kubuntu will do fine, but it has to be mentioned specifically. Mint will be nice. And then as they explore, they’ll find what fits them best.






  • Just about everyone will be successful at some things.

    Everyone knows how to make:

    • Fire
    • Lever
    • Wheel
    • Clay blocks
    • Penicillium molds (antibiotics!)
    • Wine
    • Flatbread
    • Can work out a very basic steam turbine (pot+wheel)

    Quite a few also know how to make:

    • Bellows and basic forgery tools
    • Various simple fabrics
    • Simple water pumps
    • Simple carts, bicycles
    • Galvanic cells, or maybe even alternating current sources (+wheel=hydro/steam power!), incandescent light bulbs
    • Cheese and regular bread
    • Beer, cider, moonshine
    • Soap

    You can also teach them the basics of proper hygienic procedures to keep their food safe, their hands free of pathogens, etc.

    She took a perfectly fine point (toys can be used in sex and enrich the play)…and then formulated in a way that would indeed be off-putting to plenty of guys.

    Toys should not become LeBron James of your sex, “earning more points” and leaving partner on the sideline. They should be useful assistants at reaching the peak pleasure.

    As long as the point is “my partner can drive me even hornier with this” - it is super healthy and great. But when the toy itself becomes the focus, it’s not great. She could masturbate much to the same success.
