I started using Linux back in January or February 2020, and my first distro was Elementary OS 5.1. It felt like the right choice from the start.

Since then, I've tried a bunch of other distros like Arch, Fedora, Alpine, Linux Mint, Manjaro, and Paldo. But in the end, I fell in love with Debian stable.

Arch and Fedora didn't really sit with me, but I might give Arch another shot someday. Out of all the ones I tried, my top picks are Debian, Elementary, Mint, Alpine, and Paldo.

Today, I run Elementary alongside Debian on my laptop, and Debian on both my desktops. I love what Elementary does, but for me, Debian is number one, and Elementary is a close second.

Yayy! My first paper circuit kit is now available at:
shop.blinkyparts.com/de/Playfu

This kit contains three of my favorite paper circuit projects: The Spin Art Robot, the Pixel Art Cube and the RGB Touch Cube. This is a perfect kit for kids and parents (age 8+).

Be sure to check it out! @marove only has a first batch of 20 kits!

Two paper cubes on a dark table photographed at a natural perspective. the paper cubes are decorated with simple pixel art: a red heart, a red among us character, a blue whale, 3 different emoticons. all as pixel art 16x16
a colorful picture of 5 paper cubes all iluminated from inside in different colors, like in a rainbow. The paper cubes are attached to a papershet and two hands touch the paper surface indicating that the paper is sensitive to touch changing the color of the paper cubes.
A spinning paper disc sitting ontop of a motor (not visible). the paper disk was painted by hold down a pen, making perfect colorul circles. the disk is painted in orange, red, light green and some black.
Contents of the paper circuit kit spead on a table: A spread of paper sheets containing instructions and templates, three LEDs, a motor, a black sheet (velostat), conductive tape and binder clips.

Jetzt aber schnell! Wir haben noch wenige Plätze für den Girls' Day am 3. April frei. 🏃‍♀️

Bei uns lernen Teilnehmerinnen ab 14 Jahren, wie ein Computer aufgebaut ist, was Superrechner und Quantencomputer besonders macht, und wie sie sich voneinander unterscheiden. Außerdem tauchen wir in die virtuellen Welten unseres Virtual Reality Centres ein und Forscherinnen vom LRZ und @MunichQuantum beantworten Fragen zu ihrem Job. 💬

Anyone can tell me a little app for turning my #debian into a Chromecast receiver for streaming music from my Android to #linux via WiFi?

To do exactly the same from an iphone there's uxplay which works really well.

I want to avoid solutions like Plex/Kodi because they are such a pain to configure and they never work for me

Erster Eindruck: Läuft.
Zweiter Eindruck: Manches wirkt unfertig, v.a. aber auch an Programmen. Programmpopups erscheinen teilweise in viel zu kleinen Fenstern (müssen erst aufgezogen werden), manche Programme (DoubleCMD GTK 2) haben keine Titelleiste (die QT-Variante hat sie, hat dafür andere Darstellungsprobleme), etc.
Ob das jetzt an #Mint, an #Cinnamon oder den Programmen liegt: Keine Ahnung.

Endlich geschafft: Linux Mint installiert.
Jetzt das Notwendigste einrichten und dann mal intensiver damit auseinandersetzen 😀
Gewisse bisherige "Workflows" (z.B. Windows + . => öffnet Emotion-Picker) müssen noch angepasst/geändert/eingerichtet werden. Spannend wird auch der 15 Jahre alte Brother-Drucker 😁

@Eliot_L I made the switch to #Ubuntu at the start of the year and so far it's been pretty great. It does seem that the best/most popular "I just want to get off Windows" distribution is #Mint, however. My recommendation: inventory all your required apps and research how it will go:

1) Native Linux support (Calibre, VLC, Steam)
2) Works under emulation (Scrivener, MediaMonkey, I recommend checking out Lutris)
3) Linux native alternative (LibreOffice, Pinta)
4) VM/Dual-boot required (FileMaker)
