A normal person should not have to deal with different distros. The difference in many distros is so small, people don’t even notice. People care about the desktop environment. I started with ubuntu and if ubuntu wouldn’t have ten thousand different ways of installing apps, and oftentimes you have to use the method the dev chose, I wouldn’t have distro hopped until I got to fedora. Fedora is amazing but a normal end user who browses the web won’t notice a big difference between the systems.

To run linux on a banana, you have to adapt it. To run macos on a banana, you have to crack it and fiddle around and get a psychiatrist and work on it full time. Linux makes it easier for you. Apple forbids you to install it on a banana. Fuck apple.

Where did you get that the T stands for Tyrannosaurus? 😂

It looks like a T, that’s why it’s called T shirt, imo, no source either.

Google maps is more than just a map. You can submit pictures of a restaurant to gmaps. Google knows that the business still exists and other people can validate the data. On osmand you don’t even see how the restaurant looks like.

This kind of app https://github.com/Discostu36/OSM-Photos is needed for osm to succeed and become mainstream.

Imagine connecting activitypub to osm POIs. People/users would interact with the map.

That’s really nice! Thank you for your service!

Yes, not only do I map, I show it to friends and how useful it is to me in specific situations. Bing and apple use osm data just like tomtom or many governments and many apps.

To me, spreading the word is more important than mapping. But I have to map in order to show how good it is. Moreover, it forces me to go out and hike and bike. That’s awesome!

I had to make a full overhaul of my area but now it’s awesome. I couldn’t have done it without others, thank you guys as well!

Matrix doesn’t store your ongoing conversation in plaintext. It’s encrypted by default.

Once you want to bulk edit on the go, use “every door”. “SC” or “SCEE” (feature richer SC) aren’t designed to update a large area quickly. (Check out each app when you become a serious mapper or want to make a real difference. Knowing the osm tools (and josm ofc) is highly important for efficiency.

Fedora.

I can highly recommend fedora to a newbie. It’s easier to use than ubuntu. It doesn’t come with snaps. You only need one or two methods of installing apps. It’s safe. It’s well written. It’s supported very well. It’s updated frequently. It incorporates innovative technology.

Opensuse and EndeaverOS are also very nice.
