Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

What else can you even do with a computer besides managing files and running programs?
That said (with tongue in cheek), I went from Ubuntu to Mint and can't see myself starting all over again. I'm not savvy, I don't terminal or at least I never have. I'm just a musician that also plays awkwardly with Blender. An absolute computer casual. But Debian does sound lovely.
Arch users: Update OS!
Gentoo users: Compile OS!
*BSD users: Trying to make the OS work!
Windows: reboot and reinstall!
Android: Watch advertisements!
DOS: hm... Well. Yes.
Which advertisements? (Genuinely curious, using Graphene OS and won't switch back, when I still used normal Android there weren't any ads yet)
Not in the OS per se, but the only purpose of 97% of Android software is to show you as many ads as possible.
Interesting, apart from YouTube I have never used extra software that shows ads. Luckily projects like NewPipe exist for that, so the only place where I currently can't avoid all ads is in the browser on my tablet (its an iPad so the browser sadly doesnt support ad blockers).
