Imo, the best one is the one that fits the user's needs the best. Though it sounds like a non-answer, distros are usually tailored for specific needs, so not necessarily the features or lack thereof from one distro disregard another.
Copypasta of my comment in the post in the F-Droid community:
Chrono is extremely good for me, given often having to have alarms in the oddest of times, and it allowing me to schedule alarms as one-time only, daily, for specific weekdays, for specific dates, or for date ranges, as well as having the options to force to work in the background if lack of memory in the phone kills it.
As for alternatives I wish I could find, Librera Reader is still the best ebook reader I found outside of Google Play, but I could use it having better controls. Might even take the dust off my PS Vita to read ebooks, as I abhor touch controls due to them usually not being optimized for either precision or view space available (even on-screen controls might help), and on the Vita I can use the physical controls to move the ebooks' pages around.
If the person doesn't know how to code, just ask some of those AI tools available around. If on Windows, the person could even ask for the AI to make a .bat script that only exits after pressing enter or the sort, to be as straight-forward as possible.
Python and other programming languages can do that too, if the person also wants everything offline, and/or can't focus while waiting for webpages to load.
Been using that myself and though not ideal since too many concurrent interests, it helps a bunch.
On a side note, though it didn't reach the treshold for changing laws, I imagine it could be the start of a change towards culture, as people insatisfied with the issue may see they're not alone. And that group's statement may even bring unwanted attention to the matter, as then more people, potentially even people that didn't know why they are insatisfied, may start getting up to speed.
From what I can observe lurking, communication between Lemmy and Mastodon is pretty half-baked, with things overall boiling down to users on Mastodon being able to follow Lemmy users, but not the opposite, and posts from Mastodon users may appear on Lemmy but with the text body appearing as title instead. Issues like these may appear due to how each site engine handles the data received. If you must follow users from Mastodon on Reddit-like forums, Mbin is far more compatible.
If still using Reddit 1~2 months later, maybe follow them through RSS? I remember coming across RSS bridge tools compatible with Reddit as I looked for other services.
Winning by being ostracized sounds strange.
To have an aggregation tool that could seamlessly put together such different environments would awesome, but the scope can be a bit too overarching at first. My suggestion, having seen the progress of another aggregation platform (mainly for video/audio), Grayjay, is to proceed slowly at creating integrations, as effort to maintain them is potentially exponential, and then, when you feel comfortable managing the ones you already made, proceed to the next.
And unrelated, but is RSS truly shrinking? I found out about it some 1~2 years ago, and unless it's due to me using this type of technology for so little time, but it feels far more are made or keep existing than there are feeds being killed. Worse part for finding the feeds is that often they are hidden in the page's source code.
Dunno when, but been using Android since around Android 2, and I remember it only worsening over the years.
Looking from another angle from Yoko Taro's point, I'd say that, in fear of failing due to being too big, companies would rather play it safe, but that causes creations to grow sterile.
And as consequence, people allegedly "weird", which I wouldn't think are necessarily people with curious antiques as Yoko Taro himself, but simply people whose game ideas are far from a safe ground, go for making indie titles instead as then they can be free to do whatever they want.
You press F4 and a window within Dolphin comes up, already "cd-ed" to the current directory, the terminal working as Linux's default bash terminal: https://media.ani.social/01/97/74/79/47/67/7d/23/b3/7d/49e623d62d04.webp
Seems like a simple thing? Indeed. But it's a small detail that saves a lot of time in the long run for helping with the workflow. No need to switch back and forth between two different windows.
KDE's Dolphin + Konsole's integration to Dolphin is great for seamlessly managing files with an UI and terminal hybrid.
Though closed source (overly dramatic music plays), the text editor Sublime Text works great, and at least with major version 3 (last I checked it was in version 4), it can be converted to AppImage without major issues (at worst, paths with spaces have issues).
Firejail is great for starting specific programs offline.
Newsboat is the best RSS feed reader I could find for Linux, specifically due to, with its inbuilt macros, I can set it up to open in new tabs several posts from a comically large amount of feeds.
In my opinion:
If memory serves me right (as I played the game a while back), Shantae and the Pirate's Curse's intro stage acts as a tutorial, but it's so seamless to gameplay and story that it barely feels like so. Iirc, also same for Valkyria Chronicles 4's first mission.
And that I remember better due to playing relatively recently, Final Fantasy VI and Catherine's tutorials are well integrated to their games' specific flows, the former being a series of NPCs you talk to, something you already do a lot in the game, and the latter being quick, straight to the point and given like it is a normal part of the narration and the increasingly frenetic (for a puzzler) gameplay.
And also if memory serves me right, Dirge of Cerberus and Outlive both have optional missions in their main menus that act as tutorials, that don't feel like a chore, and that if you ignore them, the game is still sufficiently manageable.
Hasta donde sé, también es la forma más directa de dos instancias hacieren conección ya que quien seguír a la comunidad será la primera puente con la comunidad y todo lo más.
Si la instancia está conectada a la instancia que la persona usa, o por lo menos no bloquea/no está bloqueada, puede crear un atajo de las comunidades para que la persona lo encontre má facilmente, al ejemplo: !discusiongeneral@chachara.club
The Rainsdowne Players, lovely and pretty chill game.
If people act as dicks towards you, maybe block them and walk away? Also might I suggest getting a pre-built PC/laptop? Would save the hassle of figuring out what parts to get.
The suggestions from others also seem sound, maybe take a break/help?
