  • Scots shares many words with English, and many words that look like they are English words spelled differently are indeed distinct Scots words, like gie, wi, aheid, heid / heed, oot, pairt, whit, et cetera. Scots also has a ton of regional dialects, and is spelled phonetically, so spellings can vary widely. There is also literary Scots vs spoken Scots. The Scots on Wikipedia for example is not the sort of Scots you'd usually hear someone speaking, or not at least that I've ever heard. Scots vs English as used today is often more of a spectrum than a clear distinction for these reasons. Like, sure, you can write in such a way that 99% of the words are not recognizeable to someone who doesn't know Scots, but a sentence could also contain words that work in either language and still be considered Scots because those words are shared. There is also writer intention: a writer may use the English spelling of a word, whereas they'd use the Scots version in speech. Likely a result of the fact that for years, Scots speakers have been punished for speaking and writing Scots in schools, as a part of an intentional attempt at erasure of the language. This is where we get features like the "apologetic apostrophe," which further muddies the waters, making it as though Scots writers are writing 'English with an accent.'

    IMO, I'd definitely call the language in this post Scots. Also, note the distinct Scots grammar: "I'm fair scunnered" vs "I'm fairly annoyed."

  • In much the same way that sneezing can be ascribed to a cold, it depends on frequency and severity.

  • That's a point.

  • Lol no, you don't typically need life support to sleep.

  • Oh yea.

  • For me, the machine was on a table beside the bed at least.

  • Yea, I did one of those too, but it didn't pick anything up, so I had to go in.

  • You have to speak to the camera looming above your head, then they'll come and unplug you.

  • Yea, sleep studies suck. You're in stuffy room tethered to a machine by a million wires everywhere from your knees up and covered in smelly glue and sticky pads. After a night of that, if you're lucky, you'll get to stay for the entire next day and try to force yourself to take naps every couple of hours.

  • Seconding Navidrome. I stream from my Navidrome server to my phone, and then via DLNA from my phone to my HiFiBerry / stereo system. It's very nice.

  • What’s a beginner to do

    Well that's just it; Endeavour is not a beginner distro. It's not designed to be. Endeavour is Arch with a graphical installer and some modest quality of life improvements for users who are otherwise willing to trawl through the Arch wiki for answers. The welcome app really just seems to be there so that you don't have to memorize all the commands or set up aliases, etc, if you don't want to.

    So when you ask "am I supposed to X," the answer is that there really isn't a set-in-stone workflow to accomplish anything on EOS or Arch; what you're supposed to do is read the manual, so to speak, and decide for yourself how you want to go about things.

    Unlike some other Arch based distros like BlendOS and Manjaro, Endeavour is still very much a DIY distro.
