Ted Chiang is one of my favourite authors.

Yes. I grew up in the Dutch Bible Belt, with very strict evangelical parents. They sent me to a Christian school that taught a literal interpretation of the Bible. So I was taught at home, in church, and in school that Earth was created about 6000 years ago.

That Earth was in fact way older than 6000 years.

I learnt some Old English in college. It was þ and ð everywhere in the texts we studied.

OnlyOffice is Russian which they try to hide by using shell companies abroad.

Just open source it and leave it to the Linux community.

I understand not wanting to support something you don’t use yourself.

Any of the distros branded as beginner-friendly will do. It doesn’t really matter. Don’t get analysis paralysis.

Choose one and go for it. Use it for one whole week, and ask questions. Then decide if you want to keep it or look for something different.

Note that the desktop you choose is an important choice. I recommend KDE, but you can try different ones. Most major distros offer a variety, so you don’t have to install a different distro to get a different desktop.

Experiment and have fun!

If it exists, there is porn of it.

“As you can see”… No, I can’t. The screenshot is unreadable.

But Dark Reader works fine.

I am very happy with my Glorious Model D- Wireless mouse. It’s lightweight and sits perfect in my hand.
