So many interests, so little time and money. Always interested in talking to more like-minded people!

Reviewing Kheoun’s Blend by The World Makes Scents.
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.
I'm very content. Stopped distro-hopping a few years ago and settled on EndeavourOS.
What is a vehicle like that even for?
How on earth is that bare arrow on fire?
One of the protesters is also jewish and is drawn normally.
Libertarian Socialists have been saying this for a century now.
That's really cool! I wonder if they allow tours?
Failing to make gourmand sandalwood incense.
My grand designs crumble as I fail to make the most delicious batch of incense ever devised.
I used to run a digital press that did this. It also made the print quality worse.
I have never had a single landlord where this isn't the case, except in instances where they are too cheap to even hire professionals to do things that they don't have the skill to do, and they get their dipshit son to "fix" the sink that fell clean out of the kitchen counter with a lumpy bead of clear silicone and a 1' piece of 2x4 wedged underneath.
Unfortunately, you're going to have to go through the list and decide whether you need each one
KDE's KOrganizer supports journal entries
Generally, I'll do RAW editing in something like Darktable, and then do actual retouching work in Krita.
Yea, it really is very good. I'm not sure what you mean by gamut tools, but there are out of gamut warnings, gamut masks, histograms, etc.
I would try this thread on the EndeavourOS forum. I imagine that resetting your plasma config is mostly going through ~/.config and cleaning out anything you don't need.
Is there any particular reason you're sticking with X11? I get the impression that there are less issues with wayland on Plasma 6.
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 use Krita as an image editor and I prefer it.
Incense clocks: Measuring time with fire and smoke
Incense clocks measures time by burning powdered incense along a pre-measured path, with each stencil representing a different amount of time.
A fantastic article on keeping time with incense.
As part of our annual incense-sourcing trip to India, we visited our old friends and suppliers at Meena Perfumery in Bangalore. Please sneak a peek into the wet masala production process, which has not changed in the last 50 years. Watch how the famous Meena Supreme incense is made. This video is a ...
I got the #1 kumquat in my bag
A kumquat with the text "#1" stamped on it: found this way in the bag.
Playstation controller surprisingly good on GNU/Linux
I wound up with one of those newfangled playstation controllers, and I'm surprised at how good it is. It paired nicely on Endeavour KDE, and there's a big touchpad in the center that works to control the mouse pointer out of the box. I'm quite happy with it!
Incense in the Wind writes great incense reviews on cheaper sticks
This blog is a mainstay of my feed reader; I really appreciate that they write on common, budget, bamboo-stick brands, saving you from the absolute crap-shoot of that scene if you're into those sorts of sticks.
EndeavourOS Moving to KDE Plasma by Default
Our latest refresh ISO, Cassini Nova R3, released in September was supposed to be the last one under the Cassini codename family. Before I go on, yes we are Arch-based, and therefore we are a rolli…
EndeavourOS is moving to KDE Plasma for its live environment and offline installer from Xfce. You'll hear no complaints from me!
Any FLOSS tools like Adobe's Fantastic Fold project?
As someone who is terrible at 3D CAD tools, but who also designs packaging from time to time, it would be amazing to have a FLOSS alternative to something like Adobe's fantastic fold project. Has anyone seen anything out there that comes close?
Not technically linux...
Editing to add alt text here, as Lemmy still does not support alt text in image posts: A fake screenshot of the FreeBSD Foundation donation page showing Apple, Inc. under the $5-$24 donation category. The screenshot is next to a poorly drawn four-panel comic.
Panel One: Title: "Apple HQ." Two people sit at a large wooden table. Person one: "We used BSD code, now it's time to contribute back." Person two: "Hold on, it's BSD licensed, right? I have an idea.
Panel Two: Title: "FreeBSD donation pipeline" A zoomed in view of a map with a large green line connecting the USA to Europe.
Panel Three: Three people, surrounded in a cloud of filth, scramble beneath the end of a large green pipe, reaching towards it with their wiggly stick-figure arms. One person is leaping in from out of frame. The people have bags under their eyes, many missing teeth, and are wearing sack-like clothing crudely mended with patches of random fabrics.
Panel Four: The pale face of one of the three people beneath the end of the large green pipe, mouth open revealing their jagged yellow teeth as they attempt to catch a trickle of liquid seeping from the end of the pipe. The liquid is captioned: "$24."
Requesting c/incense
c/incense has been abandoned, and I'd like to make something of it / add a banner, etc.
Glad to see Commercial Printing on Lemmy!
Happy to see commercial printing on this new platform.
What is a good boot time? (What's yours?)
I've been working on my boot time lately, but I realize I really don't have a good handle on what it should be. I am hoping some of you will share yours so we can all get a feel for it. I'm including some HW specs here also because I've heard it can be relevant:
64GB RAM, 2 x 2 TB NVME:
Startup finished in 9.922s (firmware) + 1.151s (loader) + 3.506s (kernel) + 4.006s (userspace) = 18.586s graphical.target reached after 4.003s in userspace.
Edited to add boot time detail

I love putting this stick on in the evening. It's so lush for the price.
