It really depends on your commitment to learning. As a side hobby 10 minute commitment while commuting – yea its a great idea. But with the goal to actually learn the languague it is not. Premade decks are like duolingo or like learning vocabs in the school, sometimes a bit useless and not really what interests you.

For me the deck that I use right now is kinda nice and I enjoy it. It focuses on vibes more than completness in hello-goodbye styled topics. Like a few cards about teineigo and conjugations of it to get a feel about it and then it moves on. But yea I am not much into languague learning and I would say it is a huge part to creating the deck after your needs. I just learn for a few minutes a day and have long breaks, its not my priority to actually learn japanese I only want some knowledge to understand anime better and it does work.

It can be a good starting point. Learn a fun deck and when you’ve done that and you are at a stage where you can comprehend enough, then you can make the effort for the extra vocabs that you encounter yourself. Altough I have found a lot of stock-audio-file decks that are boring af, so I am not sure if I’d recommend if I didn’t have that japanese anime deck.

Which is funny because in dragon ball mini goku had no problem with guns, just a little sting, which is the same reaction 300 episodes later, where he survives stupid as ki blasts which destroyed whole cities.

Or just use Anki, youtube (videos in target language) and free online resources and a good novel and a bit of discipline and effort.

First of, there are a ton of great language learning videos on youtube geared for each specific language, showing their journey and tools. Most boil down to these mentioned above

There are alot of great free anki decks for vocabulary when you are too lazy to prepare them yourself. I use one for japanese made from anime lines, you learn phrases said in actual media which is nice, sometimes there are some grammar rules explained if needed. I’d suggest to make an effort yourself and watch media, take a word or sentence, cut it out with some software to a short soundfile, add it to anki., sync to your phone. The extra effort stage of finding and translating a line is worth alot. Then you have the spaced repitition from anki. But as I said, just use a premade deck instead if you are too lazy for the software setup.

You are just able to say that because you spend 100+$ on the pre-installed OS. You could also spend the same amount for an IT person to install you linux and then have a very stable time anyways. Linux doesn’t force you to update, if something breaks you don’t need to interact with it. On many distros there are system backups preconfigured, if something breaks you can roll back pretty easily. There is a trade-off, ease of use and ease of fix. Linux is way easier to use, thanks to no bloat and package manager, but slightly harder to fix when a problem occurs, because you have to interact with the system. And to be honest, the system isn’t as scary. Documentation is often enough, but if you are lazy and want the fix currated there is AI to help you.

That is what I based my statement on. Cachy has consistently 1000 more page hits compared to mint.

Isn’t mint the most used distro after like catchyos?

Back in the day there where only 10 months and later for some reason to make it better cycle with the moon or something they introduced january and february as the 11th and 12th month, or direclty as the first and second idk the exact history of this
