  • It's a rabbit hole, you have to get fairly deep into it to start reaping some "benefits". Even if you start with something easy like cinnamon mint, there's a small chance it might break something on major upgrade. But it's generally fairly easy to fix if you have some grasp on the system.

    The best way to learn would be to just install something like arch or debian in a VM but do everything in manual steps while trying to understand what every step's accomplishing.

  • Time to learn root folders, package manager, source lists for package managers, where programs are installed, config files. and so forth. Then move on to fiddling with wine to get some windows only programs working. I had to spend a few hours getting my shitty laptop to run battle net client and star craft 2.

    All this might seem daunting at first. But take it slow and it will all be fulfilling once you grasped the basics.

  • This is the reason I have a lot of respect for people who are not in IT or Tech field, career wise, but still managed to deep dive into linux.

    Even will all the ease of access that the current linux ecosystem offer, linux still is a tinkerer's OS. You have to deep dive into the basics for some problem. That's hard, even for someone with tech background.

  • We eat it the same way! Though ours is a bit more watery and less spicy. Our Myanmar version also originated from southern India. The drumstick's eaten quite commonly but I think the leaves are still underrated, even here. May be because of the taste? Although I like it's taste in a simple savory soup.

  • Moringa leaves. The tree's hardy and ecologically sustainable. The drumstick fruits and the pods are edible but the leaves are the most nutritious. It also has the highest protein among leafy greens.

    In south and south east asia, we consider it medicinal. But actually, it's just nutritious. We feed them in soup form to malnourished people and nursing mothers.

  • Not years. An average person might spend a few days or weeks as a monk every few years, to sort of cleanse their Karma so to speak.

    My brother just decided to be a monk for life though. It's quite rare that people become monks for life though, especially someone as young as him. A Theravada buddhist monk's life is more restricted than those of Mahayana traditions like in China, Japan, Korea, etc.

  • The way I talk to monks. In Theravada buddhism, monks are treated as a class above average humans. We had to special wording when speaking with them to be reverent, kind of like when speaking with nobles, royals and whatnot in Europe.

    Still awkwardly doing that around most monks when I'm with my family, just out of respect for them. There are a few close monk friends that I can talk to normally though.
