Any Windows users wanting to switch to Linux due to the new Windows Recall security nightmare, hit me up if you need any newbie help getting setup with Linux.
An "old school" Linux user, the same user who will try to get you, a Windows user, to try to use the terminal for everything, comparable to trying to get you to use Microsoft PowerShell for everything, will tell you Gnome is this wonderful graphical user interface (GUI).
You want KDE Plasma. Trust me. Most of the basic settings and point and click functions, you're seeking, are not going to be in Gnome by default, out of the box. Can it be customized and included with some effort? Sure, anything can be changed with some effort. But as a newbie, I'm assuming the word "effortless" is something you may favor a little more.
Is it a thing that #mastodon limits how far back you can scroll in your “home” feed? I keep trying to scroll to posts from earlier than 4h ago and it won’t let me. Is this normal or a glitch?

I will share my experience taking a 18 year old cat #hiking for the first time in her life. And I will share #photography - from my travels in northern Europe.
New to programming? Interested in getting started?
I am offering 1:1 pairing sessions to introduce software development concepts such as programming languages (Python, C++, etc), source control (git), and more.
Newbies welcome. Free. Just giving back. DM me if interested. I am very serious about helping if I can.

Ngl I’m a little confused on how this works for the most part but I am interested putting my One Piece hyper fixation into urusai #onepiece#anime#newbie
Hi, I'm Rafe (pronounced "Rayf"), full-time dad, part-time adult, and all-around dork from Utah, USA. This is where I'm planning to (re)start my journey of learning to be a semi-decent photographer, which I initially began several years ago but life happened and I stopped pursuing it – but now I have a shiny new iPhone with a pretty okay camera so I'm gonna take another stab at it. Anyway, follow me if you're interested in seeing that journey. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
Can we please not have the word „simply“ in NixOS manual or nixos.wiki? NixOS learning curve is super steep and it‘s frustrating when you start and you don‘t understand how to do things that are supposed to be simple #linux#nixos#documentation#newbie#frustration
So, looking for examples of how federated services interoperate with each other - I've joined a Pixelfed instance with my Mastadon mstdn.ca login and that seems to propagate, but I don't seem able to login to other services that way - Bookwyrm? PeerTube? Does ActivityPub connect them? Or is it usually only instances within a service? Is there a resource page for this I haven't found yet? #activitypub#fediverse#newbie
Hello world, I have been using (and am enjoying using) mastodon for a couple of days now but remain a little confused by some things. Many things, but... WELL how does other things in the fediverse like interact? I understand that different servers can passively "bleed" into each other through interaction, but that's just for mastodon. I've seen people advertise for things like Firefish or Calckey but what's the purpose of those? Isn't mastodon the same?
Finally cracking open my Arduino learner's kit and getting started on the basics of learning how to program with it. Hoping to use it as the brain for my attempt at a bat animatronic. No promises that it'll be ready for halloween, but heck, Imma try anyway!
Just arrived here fleeing Elroy's dumpster fire. Looking to find open arms and open-minds who value: honesty, democracy, freedom of expression and good humor. Hoping to avoid RW lunacy, self-serving egos and disinformation. Gimme a follow and I'll follow back if we might share values. Thanks. #newbie
#Newbie? Hope this helps. When I first started using Mastodon seriously, I:
. Looked for/found some old friends from elsewhere.
. Looked at the public timeline occasionally on the lookout for interesting people and hashtags.
. Followed hashtags with content I liked. Some I stopped because they got too noisy, but they did fill out my sparse timeline - no regrets.
. Judiciously followed more people, many discovered from hashtagged posts.
. Used hashtags in my posts and always give images alt text.
I'll be honest, I've always tinkered with ubuntu and even older versions of linux (Anyone remember Mandrake? Yeah I'm old lol), I had even built my own HTPC at one point many many years ago....
Hey @knitting friends I am facing a new problem. #learner#Newbie I am #knitting my cardigan on metal old size 8 needles (4mm) and now the back has grown a lot. I am getting #pains in my hand and upper arm. I noticed and stopped last night but still sore today. Obviously I will take a break until it heals, but then what should I do? Would swapping to circulars help or should I rest my knitting on a table rather than my lap or is there a better solution?
[Shower Thought] I was never "good" at Linux CLI, ChatGPT has helped tremendously
