  • I went with Mint and it is great. Gives me Windows 98 vibes, inca good way. It is really intuitive.

    You will need the terminal only for some more advanced stuff and maybe some setup steps, like getting Proton VPN. You really just copy and paste the commands Proton has in their instructions, that’s it. Mint is not officially supported but works fine - only issue I have is that while it launches on startup just fine, I have to connect manually. Support wouldn’t help as Mint is “not officially supported” but that’s about it.

    Switching to Linux looks like a monumental task at first, but once you establish a beginer friendly distro you’d like to use it’s really straightforward. I can vouch for Mint in this regard.


  • It’s not that I try to ne hardcore. Reddit was alright, but I felt subconciously it is going to shit for some time. But I liked the format, so I stayed. The API fiasco just showed the really bad face of it (mainly how it was handled) and made an opportunity for people to talk more about alternatives. Sure, Lemmy doesn’t have as much stuff as Reddit, especially for more niche topics but I enjoy my stay much more.

    I peeked in a couple of times but not for long.

    Yes, these are pretty common in my area. There are hiking groups that maintain them, they are marked IRL too and are great to orient yourself (the marked trails are color coded so you know to stick to blue until you encounter red and continue on red path for example). Also makes it easier to plan routes andsee how to get to some landmarks. In some places, like National Parks, you it may even be mandatory stick to those and not go on unmarked trails.

    So I guess those are indeed different things. Well that at least clarifies stuff for me. Hiking trails are all the various paths that are in the forest, and hiking routes are the marked ones.

    Well thing is OSMand does have the trails and I can enable them in map view.

    Maybe there is just misunderstanding on my side (I’m not an English native speaker)? I mean these official marked hiking paths. OSMand calls them “hiking routes” so I guess that’s a different thing to trails?
