    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've been playing for years; I even used to rank in the top 100 DM players. It's an outstanding game that doesn't get near the attention / credit it deserves. The graphics still look good, it'll run on a potato, fast, satisfying gameplay... it's the best.

    Back when I lived in the UK, I'd play instagib on german servers that were so full and the matches so intense that you couldn't take a step after spawning before exploding if you hadn't learned how to move quickly yet. It became an ambition to be able to get off of the spawn point, and I began to use those intense matches to wake me up after work every day.

    Eventually, when logging on during the wee hours, I'd get to chatting with one or two other players on an empty server and they'd give me tips, or show me the secret rooms and easter eggs in some of the weirder community-made maps.

    I don't play much lately, but I do run a server to give a little back for all the fun. Anyway, yea, Xonotic is great.

    "free" is a relative term. Driven by addiction might be more accurate for many.

    You can become addicted to anything; that doesn't mean the government should step in and prevent you from doing something that you enjoy and only harms yourself. People have the right to bodily autonomy, and that includes allowing consenting adults to take actions that are harmful or unhealthy to themselves. Plus, what happens when you ban tobacco or tax it to oblivion? A massive unregulated black market appears and people wind up smoking lead from China. This literally happened in the UK, right around the time when I was buying loose tobacco from less than legitimate sources because it was so expensive in the shops. This is is the kind of thing that happens every single time any kind of prohibition is enacted; you'd think we'd have learned by now!

    I don't personally believe companies should be allowed to encourage addiction to make money.

    Agreed. Ban tobacco marketing of any kind, ban tobacco product logos, branding, etc, sell them in brown paper bags, ban smoking in publicly funded media, I'm all for it. These companies are evil, for sure, but preventing the sale of tobacco isn't the answer. Prohibition literally never works.

    The warnings do absolutely nothing as well.

    but they do though...

    This is a bit much; I'd rather see UK-style warnings on tobacco products, and a ban on smoking in public places, including outdoors. That way those who choose to consume tobacco are free to do so (as they should be) but they are thoroughly and completely warned of the consequences, and they can't pollute the air around them for others. There are few things worse than being stuck downwind of a smoker on a public sidewalk (especially as an ex-smoker — you never stop missing tobacco in my experience).

    My understanding is that it's debated whether password algorithms are a good idea, but personally, I wouldn't use them because if someone figures out one password, they can figure out the rest. Why not just use a new KeePass database on your work computer? If you don't want to memorize a string of random characters for the master password, why not use a passphrase of random space-separated words?

    (Addressing the US because I live there) Even people with "middle class" incomes are living paycheck to paycheck these days. How can you contribute to a 401k when you can't even maintain a balance in your savings account? Let alone other investments, etc, even if you do know what you're doing with the various financial instruments.

    The cost of living is beyond the pale right now anywhere in the US where you actually stand a chance at making decent money, so your choices are to A: suffer now under severe self-imposed austerity, saving a pittance for retirement knowing that you'll still almost certainly wind up destitute in old age, or B: enjoy your youth to the extremely limited degree that you're able to, have the odd nice coffee or dinner with friends, and then also still become destitute in old age.

    Frankly, a huge percentage of the US population are simply fucked, and given the political landscape where you are given a choice between the "do nothing" party on the center right and the "eat the poor: serfdom now" party on the far right, you can't blame people for having absolutely zero hope. As for me, I'm extremely privileged to be a dual citizen of the UK/US so I'm going to be running back to Scotland as soon as humanly possible. Come what may, at least Scotland's position on poor people isn't to let them die on the streets like it is here.

    I've long maintained that if every US citizen got to experience the basic social safety nets that even the UK provides, politicians would find themselves strung up by their intestines in short order. I think people here just really lack context as to how truly distopian this country is.
