Maybe I misunderstood. Are launchers more like “search” or quick lunch?
I was looking for a start menu replacement.

Playing along for Mint/Cinnamon suggestions. Already using the Cinimenu (or whatever it is) but its still not “it”.
Probably not the place to ask, but. Say In a n00b and have Arch (EndeavourOS BTW) on a 15+ year old laptop. Everything works fine hardware wise. Software is fairly basic web, Inkscape, LibreOffice.
Do I really need all the latest Arch updates? Or can I just do an update say every 6 months?
On android Tubular is YouTube with these options. A fork of NewPipe.
The sync looks to be a version of KDE connect. That I have running on Mint. I think I had to install it from the Mint software GUI though.
Zorin does look cool though. As easy as it is Mint/Cinnamon is a bit ugly out of the box.
How does this compare for a user who “just wants things to work without terminal/CLI”.
I’ve landed on Mint after trying a few other distros.
The funny thing is 90% of these crapps are just web wrappers, and 90% of the time its a SAAS portal they have just customised with a logo.
I asked my gym if there ‘app’ had a website. After they said no I did some digging and found it. Put a web launcher on my home screen (or use hermit/aNative) and done.
Fuck restaurants though. I’m not doing a table QR code, paying EXTRA (50 cent fee), giving you data thats not needed … And then going to the counter to ask where my oder is. I’ve seen this first hand and its ridiculous. Maybe MAYBE you can tempt me with a 10% discount. Having saved thst on not printing menus and staff not taking orders. Did I say fuck restaurants?
Lol. I’m not a Mac person. Airbook? The thin ones.
Is plasma big screen really an option? Id like to install it on a desktop to act as a android tv. Launch Stremio, YT and maybe one or two other apps/websites. Easy big tile navigation with remote (flirc).
It’s in dev since 2020. The images hosted on the site are bit for any of my hardware. It says theres a Debian package. Installed that though LMDE but it was horrible. Somone mentioned Kububtu can install it with apt, but its not listed. Think I’ll give up.
I like the idea. In regards to lemmy and its instances (so I guess a smaller Scale to what your suggesting … Though I still don’t fully get the fediverse).
I did something similar when picking a Lemmy instance. What was the instance that had defederated others the least. There was a git page somewhere that listed them all.
On the flip side I’ve heard a notion that no one single instance should become the “main” instance. Probably with your suggestion new users would gravitate to the big circle. Thus making it the “default”. But maybe it’s different when looking outside of lemmy instances to the wider fediverse.

My limited knowledge and time force me to certain distros. Some of my stuff only works on EOS, others only on Mint.
It’s easier to install another distro than spend another hour troubleshooting. I know “just read the wiki” but sometimes we don’t have the skills, imagine a neckbeard trying to “just have a shower, and get out the basement”.
It makes it even more tempting to move back to Windows where I can just plug and play. But I’m forcing myself not to. … Well that and Win11 isn’t supported.
And re things not working. I’ll not even a gamer with special hardware. Just use it for web browsing and citrix for WFH.
I’m new to Linux and use Endeavor OS. Its Arch BTW so everything I do I just look up the Arch Wiki.
Endeavour comes with KDEPlasma, or you can pick others. It also has basic applications like Firefox and media players. But nothing in the way of office etc.
I think Manjaro is similar but deviates from arch a bit.
For me it’s the wiki. Arch just explaining so simply. Searching an issue for LMDE just lead to forums. And the Debian or Ubuntu wikis don’t seem as good as arch.
Plus must searches for <other distro> issue seem to lead to forums and random “run this code”. All arch searches led back to the Wiki. All hail the wiki.
But srsly. I feel like I’m LEARNING Linux with arch. Rather than just running fixes for the other distros.
I never thought to do a French press with milk instead of water.
For cold brew I filter it though a pour over after pressing. 1:7.2 ratio, 18 hours.
I too like drinking.
Try onshape. I learnt fusion last year though YT and playing around for 3D prints.
Its fine but a bit of overkill. Onshape has just enough support that a search for “how to do X” takes you to the wiki or official forum, and boom. Answer.
It also seems more initiative and just gets out of the way, compared to fusion.
No idea if its just coz I learnt fusion first though.
I tried solid works but nothing clicled for me with that.
What’s your recipe, ratios and wait times. I use a press to do cold brew. Every time I try it for a hot cup it tastes a bit “dirty” or earthy to me, plus by the time it steeps its not as hot as I’d like.
I installed an emoji quick search app (not sure what one). It freezes Wayland/mint.
I tried Wayland once and didnt realise I was still logging in with it.
