  • I have been on arch professionally for ~5 years.

    I am a GUI fan and I don’t like fucking around with the OS. In fact, I don’t even want to think about it at all.

    So far it hardly required any maintenance (much less than Ubuntu, Windows or Mac, at least for my workflows).

    And the only fucking around I did with it was the first two days setting everything up just the way I like.

    To be fair, I already had extensive linux knowledge at the point of switching to arch - through ~4 years of constantly breaking my Debians and Ubuntus every couple of months.





  • In general I’d recommend the modern standard android. So just go by the official docs and guides with Kotlin and Android Studio. Thats is not only the most straightforward option in my opinion, but it is easier to ask for help in a discord or search the web. (contrary to what @aluminium suggested by going with older UI and java)

    But tbh. it depends what you’re prior dev exp is like. You said you have no mobile dev exp, but what about desktop or web? If you feel at home with web frameworks, react native might be way easier for you. Heck, if you have experience with c# and windows gui dev, then blazor or microsoft maui etc.

    I agree with @aluminium on the point of multiplatform frameworks being way more complex than native android. Only chose those if you get an advantage out of it like if you are either already familiar with the base concepts/languages or if you want to target multiple platforms.






  • These words mean nothing to me. That is why I specifically asked for a real world example. By that I mean something like a userstory.

    You could start with:

    “Imagine you are Frank Frankis and you have an office job. Your boss tells you to do […] . But […] would take a long time to do manually because […]. Frank uses m5 in the following way to folve the […] task.”

    Followed by an example input, example command and example output that is a solution to the problem from the scenario.

    Without that - I am too dumb to understand.

    Thank you in advance.
