  • Sure! I just don't expect people who just came from Windows/MacOS to get into that. I'm talking "just works" here. Later on, they'll be able to develop that understanding too, but to each its time.

  • Debian remains the king of "something stable that works well". And with release of Debian 12 that brought a lot of quality-of-life improvements, easier non-free package managing etc, many users go for it on their desktops. So I suggest you do too.

  • Manjaro KDE (default) makes Arch a wonderful starting point. Beautiful (gold standard of KDE implementation), truly blazing fast (thanks, Arch), incredibly Windows-like, and unlike Arch itself, completely plug-and-play.

    Their update withholding schedule, while causing anger among some Arch enthusiasts, is what makes the system super stable and completely effortless to maintain, while remaining close to the bleeding edge.

    The only thing newbies should be taught is that AUR should be used with caution due to potential (rare) dependency version conflicts; luckily, Manjaro repos have just about everything you can think of and AUR is almost entirely unnecessary.

  • Chinese normally come up with some ways to use old terms to describe new things.

    First character means "net" (can also be fishing or spider net)

    Second means "line, route" (also way, sequence)

    Third means, well, "hole" (but also socket)

    As a combination of first and second we have "net line" - the Internet, or really any interconnected net like a power grid. Third doesn't need an explanation, I think.

  • With Bitcoin it is simply impossible. And generally there's a blockchain trilemma - it should be fast, decentralized and secure, and you can't make a blockchain that is all three. Bitcoin reasonably sacrifices "fast", Lightning sacrifices "decentralized", and so on.
