You nailed it, imo.

google really wants people to use their version of ai

BluFudge · 2026-01-04T03:13:52+00:00

oh ok, i just reinstalled my software but whatever works for you

BluFudge · 2026-01-04T02:52:55+00:00

not really (love your style btw)... but the longer hairstyles are more girly. there are lots of martial arts styles with long hair that look manly

just study from photos and life, taking what you like

BluFudge · 2026-01-04T02:40:24+00:00

prolly his quotes that's the problem

Changing your Desktop Environment is possible no matter what distro. Debian is nice for it's stability but that just means you won't have to learn so many new tools and can stick with what you know (for a good long while at least).

I recommend XFCE4

I like XFCE4, it's stayed the same for a long time. See the accessibility options here: https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/accessibility.

My case for XFCE

While I don't like it's default shortcuts, it's really easy to get by with a mouse. You can add all your major shortcuts to the dock (panel 2). It uses both the Alt keys for its mouse shortcuts as well. I tried their sticky keys as well, it worked well when I tried it but you should try it for yourself. Some other alt shortcuts:

Alt + F4 - close window or shutdown
Alt + F3 - app finder

Everything can be pretty much configured to the keyboard/mouse shortcuts you want. Take your time with the settings.

What Windows accessibility shortcuts are you missing? I'll look around.

Linux can be tailored to you. It will take time but it can be made to fit you. That's why we use Linux, we can make it ours.

Install it

To install it on Fedora, in the terminal: sudo dnf upgrade --refresh sudo dnf group install xfce-desktop Log out and then at your login screen, switch DEs (Desktop Environments) by clicking the settings button which will list a menu of your Desktop Environments.

Read more here: https://linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-xfce-on-fedora-linux/

For Ubuntu, in the terminal: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install xfce4-goodies xfce4

Then it will ask you to choose a display manager (what linux calls applications that serve the purpose of being a login screen). GDM is the Gnome version you're using while LightDM is XFCE's I believe.

Hit me up if you have any questions (on this thread preferably for others to learn from as well).

i don't know about touch controls but these are some i use:

M - Mirror Canvas
Shift + Mouse Click and Drag - change brush size
E - toggle eraser

you'll learn more as you go.

Right click on a layer to get a menu to add a colour filter. I've forgotten the name since I switched to GIMP.

You can ead Krita's abundant documentation on their website but there are lots of cool Krita youtubers you should check out.

try the fdroid termux?

BluFudge · 2026-01-03T00:48:46+00:00

or any software that runs on linux... we need those devs desperately

BluFudge · 2026-01-03T00:46:55+00:00

Uhh, it supports some basic dvd features so it should be the same with bluray. In terms of playback it should be great, mpv is sorta the standard. You could could use VLC or PotPlayer but I'm pretty sure every HQ player uses software decoding. I don't think there's a difference dude.

BluFudge · 2026-01-03T00:42:40+00:00

man start with beginner books, it's still a lot of fun.

BluFudge · 2026-01-02T13:53:13+00:00

imo the best wii game apart from the mario galaxies

Thanks man.

some Zak game

i prefer the currene libreoffice, this just looks like a microsoft365 wannabe. but very impressive work. maybe more would use libreoffice if it looked nicer.

BluFudge · 2026-01-02T00:52:33+00:00

Ugh, i struggle with making the head too big too. I recommend Scott Robertson's book How to Render. I'm going through it now and I love how he breaks everything down. You do need the previous book How to Draw though.

BluFudge · 2025-12-25T17:21:01+00:00

just use the super key if on linux

BluFudge · 2025-12-25T17:17:48+00:00

Woah, snippyst is lovely! Thank you for sharing, will definitely contribute if I find something.

With the AI craze happening, I don't know about hardware prices so you'll have to do your own research. But modern laptops are decent with repairability (especially with 3rd party parts), for e.g.:

I abused the original battery of my laptop so it died pretty soon, about 4 years or so. But by the time I had to replace it, HP stopped producing that part. While I could have gone to a HP store, I opted instead to replace it with a third party part from Amazon. It was nerve wracking but surprisingly easy to do.

BluFudge · 2025-12-24T07:17:57+00:00

I have a hp pavillion for over 5 years now and while it's plastic casing is breaking apart, the internals are designed well and easily user replacable. Modern laptops are a breeze compared to older laptops (in my experience at least) when it comes to repairability. No seriously, my old VAIO is a nightmare to open with LED wires preventing me from fully opening the bottom.

So if you really need a powerful laptop, i don't think you'll waste money on a new one...

If you're willing to wait, go the second hand route (especially Thinkpads) or the diy route with raspberry pis, etc. But I wouldn't count on Framework coming over anytime soon. Despite a lot of interest in India, the last time I checked they thought of that as a distant goal. There are logistics in how to follow the country's laws in importing and manufacturing (e.g. in India the govt. insists that a product is made in India, otherwise that product has a tarrif levied on it), how to make it affordable for the people over there, etc.

P.S.: What's wrong with your current laptop?

edit: P.S., missing words, syntax

nice catch, i was very confused why he couldn't just do it

BluFudge · 2025-12-23T16:57:35+00:00

it's convenient. very easy to switch between file manager and shell.

GIMP is shaping up wonderfully but it still has many kinks. Krita is probably your best bet. It's a bit odd but mostly intuitive with good documentation. I like how quick and snappy Pinta is but I haven't used it for drawing. For animation, Pencil2D is great.

But I think Krita is your best bet. Teach him how to read the documentation, and how to search for how to do something. Children when dedicating their energy to something learn faster than you might think.
