The image depicts the interior of a building with a high, wooden ceiling. The ceiling features a complex network of wooden beams arranged in a geometric pattern, forming a series of triangular shapes that converge at the center. The beams are made of natural wood, displaying a warm brown color with visible grain patterns and textures. The ceiling is composed of wooden planks, which are arranged in a parallel fashion, creating a sense of depth and structure. The walls are made of stone, with a rough texture, and are painted in a light blue color. There are small windows with blue frames, allowing natural light to enter the space. The overall impression is of a historical or traditional architectural style, with a focus on the craftsmanship of the wooden beams.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist

The image depicts a desolate, post-apocalyptic landscape under a starry night sky. In the foreground, two figures stand on a barren, sandy ground, facing a large, cylindrical spacecraft that has crashed and is partially buried in the ruins of a city. The spacecraft is light blue with visible damage and wear, suggesting it has been there for a long time. The cityscape is characterized by dilapidated buildings, some of which are tall and partially collapsed, with a mix of yellow and brown hues, indicating decay and abandonment. The sky is dark, filled with stars, and a small celestial body, possibly Earth, is visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere is one of desolation and abandonment, with the contrast between the advanced technology of the spacecraft and the ruined city emphasizing the theme of a once-thriving civilization now in ruins.

You should mention some. caveats too. Many software will not work and there is not any adequate replacement. Have fun open some form generated with Adobe Reader or open a Word document. Try to play games and so on.

@diehlpk

Sure, but Adobe Reader can though be installed on Linux if an absolute necessity plus many alternatives (to open .pdf files, etc.) exist.

Game compatibility can be checked quickly via ProtonDB 👉 protondb.com/

For finding a suitable Linux distribution, I think the following website can be of help to many newbies:

The image is a bar chart titled "O partido mais parecido consigo é..." (The party most similar to you is...). It displays the results of a survey showing the percentage of people who consider each party most similar to their own views. The chart lists eight political parties with their corresponding percentages:

  1. L (Livre) - 71.43%
  2. CDU (Centro Democrático e União) - 58.62%
  3. BE (Bloco de Esquerda) - 55.17%
  4. PAN (Partido Animalista) - 48.28%
  5. PS (Partido Socialista) - 44.83%
  6. AD (Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe) - 34.48%
  7. IL (Iniciativa Liberal) - 31.03%
  8. CH (Chega) - 19.23%

Each bar is color-coded, with the percentage displayed in white text. The background is light gray, and the text is in black, making the chart easy to read. At the bottom, there is a note that says "Sabe mais em expresso.pt" (Learn more at expresso.pt).

Because Life is complicated, Tolkien loved only complicated things.

Many readers find that the story of the "Hobbit" or the "Lord of the Rings" are simple or straightforward would be surprised to discover that they are far from the truth.

One of the most difficult rule to understand of the Tengwar is their flexibility.
The consonant diacritics (3 dots = a; accent = i) can be read as being before or after the consonant depending on the mode used.
