I'd argue the demographic that writes posts about switching their OS is more likely to be happy switching to Arch than most of the people who switch. The way I imagine the average Linux noob is a university student who installed Ubuntu for their coding class.

For novices Void is worse because it does not have the Arch wiki. The Void Docs are brief and you will inevitably end up reading the Arch wiki anyways, except you will run into Runit specific bs.
It makes sense because if you are a veteran, you probably already have your workflow streamlined, so you don't need new software in the repositories.
Cool but I'm still waiting for Plasma to have actual tiling built in. Dragging windows with your fingers is just extremely clunky. Also having a "note taking mode" where your note taking app becomes transparent and stacks on top of some other app (YT, pdf viewer) would be nice but that should probably be a feature of the note taking app, not Plasma.
The only way to send characters that are not part of the current layout is to use a compose key sequence. Which you would have to ask about in one of their communication circles. (reddit, etc.) Alternatively you could use command buttons which allow you to execute a command on key press. That way you could use ydotool (https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool) to send a sequence to type the umlaut as described on ubuntu wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComposeKey#Typing_Macrons.2C_Umlauts.2C_Accents.2C_...) That probably would not need Kmonad when I think about it though. You could just use keybindings of your window manager / desktop environment.
What do you mean you don't know where to start? How about starting by going to their website (github repo). If you did that you would find out about the tutorial. The thing takes like 30 minutes to read. Link: https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration
KMonad does support compose keys but I don't know how to use it. It's described in the tutorial though. You can also just rebind a key or key combination to the keys that would write "ü" on your keyboard. KMonad really just changes what keys are pressed, so if you use a German layout, you will get German characters.
I am not conflating communism with being "a mass murderer fan club". I am simply stating that that post was upvoted by mass murderer fans. The post made sarcastic statement about Stalin not being a brutal dictator, so there are your "mass murderer fans". I said nothing about communism.
In terms of Kenny being an anarchist. That's not "my definition". At some point he posted snakes in political context so it's really his definition, whatever he means with it.
Well lemmy is a platform developed by communists for communists. This is the first example I could find https://lemmy.ml/post/25431378
Sure most of these people probably have schizophrenia and believe they are being controlled by 5G towers, so I'm not really blaming them. My point is that if we can deal with this, dealing with Kenny's sometimes goofy ideas should be a piece of cake.
His level of schizo is kinda funny but his comment section is even funnier. People there are actually delusional. They for example think every software is a fed honeypot, even open source stuff. bruh just look at the source. They should definitely seek professional help.
I'm reposting a reply to similar comment. Replying to "Mental Outlaw is far right and cryptobro". But the TLDR of that could be that he has some takes that people here like and some takes that people here don't like but he is not a National Socialist, otherwise give source. Perhaps Drew has been cooking again?
Those are just insults people, who cannot gasp that someone could have a slightly different opinion about something, use against him.
Some political things about him include: He ...
- is an anarchist (or somewhere on that political spectrum)
- wants to have the right to own a gun
- is pro free speech
- thinks using money should not have to earn mega corporations that much money
- thinks "brother should not kill brother" in the war in Ukraine
- is not a fan of Elon Musk, Teslas or self driving cars
- is pro Free Software and for privacy
Obviously depends on what is meant with "far right nutjob". If it implies that anarchy (no government) is the opposite of socialism (far left - maximum government) then yeah but usually it just means "massive bigot", which I don't think he is, otherwise give source.
Similar with crypto bro. For me it means the pump and dump scheme scammer or at least someone who is pro crypto because he sees it as a mean to get rich quick. But if "Crypto bro" just means anyone who likes the advantages of crypto, then he indeed is one.
But regardless of how we name things, he doesn't have any evil values (as far as I know). He just has different opinions than the average lemmy user. It should not be hard to tolerate him, considering this platform is a mass murderer fanclub (actual evil values, not just "quirky" politics).

People want to switch from baguettes to bread. So they get flour, water, yeast and salt and are asked to bake their own bread. "I never saw what was so hard about baking bread, the seller says." Well the issue is not the difficulty of baking bread. They simply don't want to spend time baking bread. They are used to going to the store to buy an already baked baguette.
