Pretty sure DDG just uses bing results. Try in bing OP see what you get.

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.
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?
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.
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.
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 can’t see it as streaming or DVD. But I can see it as an audiobook and on great courses plus website.
If anyone finds the video version I’d be appreciative.
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.
This. In my recent experience on one laptop. Arch (Endevour OS btw) installed fine.
But LMDE would not boot. I got a system disk missing error every time after install. So much playing with EUFI settings in BIOS, boot back to live disl, multiple re installs, GRUB repair, remake the ISO (ISO was fine, installed on another PC with no issues). Gave up. Just could not boot to the OS.
Install normal mint. No issues.
And past the install? Bluetooth dongle works fine on arch, but so many issues on mint.
WiFi dongle A works on arch, but not mint. WiFI dongle B dosenr work on arch but does work on mint. Took me a while to work thst one out.
Headphpnes have some weird echo back to me when mic is on. Use pipewire config from archwiki. Worked, but reduced qualoty. Tried a few other configs. Didn’t work. Must have broke something coz now the original config dosnt work. So will just deal with echo.
0 of these issues on windows. And 0 likely your regular user can easily swap to Linux.
Will stay on arch tho. Fuck spez windows.
What sites do you use it for?
Sure but knowing nothing much of encryption. If they put you away for non-compliance and suspicion its probably less than what they could put you away for if they actually found the <whatever it is> file.
Like. I can cut the bags of coke and empty it into the ocean. They probably knew I had it, but not how much.
Seems to be the exact question OP is asking. Except you’ve written it as a satabment instead of a question.
Are there Linux versions of this that aren’t apks?
Endeavour IS is arch with KDE and a few basic apps. Pretty sure you dont need WiFi to test it. For any issues you can just use the arch wiki. I really enjoyed it as first distro as the wiki is so helpful. I moved to Mint tho (not DE) and have loved not having to use the terminal for anything.
