  • For me worked:

    • Install Debian
    • be confused by all the options in the installation process, look up every unknown word, try to do everything manualy, fail
    • start installation process again, choose all the defaults, works!
    • trying to install a programm with terminal, fail because not in sudo list, look up how to get into sudo list
    • update in terminal doesn’t work, have to remove some lines in /etc/apt/sources.list - look up how to use the text editor nano, look many yt-videos about Linux filesystem (what to those folders mean? Everything is a file?)
    • try to resize a partition (can’t remember which), can’t, because I didn’t choose LVM in installation process - install Debian again, and do all the steps above again

    I think I had to reinstall Debian 5 more times after that, just because I didn’t know what I was doing and it was an easy reset for me.

    Very frustraiting at times, and a very rewarding feeling when something worked. Made me love tech again, 10/10 would do again.













  • As @theshatterstone54@feddit.uk suggested: Turning off auto correction (‘Autokorrektur’) solves the problem with my AOSP keyboard temporarily.

    Let’s hope there will be a better fix in the future, because as a non native english speaker I rely heavily on auto correction. Changing keyboard would be annoying, my fingers just got used to this one. And changing to another client than Jerboa would be sad as well, it’s the only client on f-droid.






  • I use Gnome on my Surface laptop, no modifications necessary. Three finger swipe to the left for the next workspace, every option I need is in the upper right corner and a few custom keyboard short cuts, it’s perfect.

    And on my main PC it’s Herbstluft WM. Everything has it’s use case.
