  • What’s a beginner to do

    Well that’s just it; Endeavour is not a beginner distro. It’s not designed to be. Endeavour is Arch with a graphical installer and some modest quality of life improvements for users who are otherwise willing to trawl through the Arch wiki for answers. The welcome app really just seems to be there so that you don’t have to memorize all the commands or set up aliases, etc, if you don’t want to.

    So when you ask “am I supposed to X,” the answer is that there really isn’t a set-in-stone workflow to accomplish anything on EOS or Arch; what you’re supposed to do is read the manual, so to speak, and decide for yourself how you want to go about things.

    Unlike some other Arch based distros like BlendOS and Manjaro, Endeavour is still very much a DIY distro.


  • Don’t use GUI package managers, but here, have some GUI package managers.

    What GUI package managers are you referring to? EOS doesn’t supply any.

    AFAICT they made something more confusing than Arch, not less.

    If I’m not mistaken, this is all stuff you should also be doing on Arch. The single difference is that EOS provides a button in their “Welcome” app that will helpfully run a command for you in a terminal for some of these tasks.










  • Krita has CMYK, and very good non-destructive editing these days. It’s my preferred photo editor, including for the occasional magazine ad work I do. It also has great support for PS files, including smart layers, etc, plus it has layer effects, masking, filter layers, GPU accelerated canvas, and G’MIC support covers a lot of the fancier pbotoshop stuff like content-aware fill. IMO, for the workflow and interface alone, it’s leagues ahead of G***.








  • I usually buy the gardein nuggets as they have a really good texture for it. You can use the big TVP chunks. If you do, you should hydrate it in stock with a splash of vinegar, press the moisture out, sautee in lots of fat until a good sear develops, and then coat in breadcrumbs or corn-starch and fry.

    I’ll do tofu as well. You have to buy good tofu though, not that mealy garbage in the plastic container full of water.

    Fried cauliflower is delicious, but devoid of protein, so I never use it here as I don’t want to be hungry in an hour.
