It’s much easier to install Linux these days than it is to install Windows. And with KDE Plasma the user experience is really similar. As for the distribution I would suggest OpenSuse as that has very little requirement for terminal commands, they’ve packaged GUI elements in the whole distro.
As for Tumbleweed vs regular, that’s up to you. I’m happy with Tumbleweed.

Oh yeah? Today there are more people dying from dihydrogen monoxide than in the past.

Honestly I think schools these days are a test of patience and a test of playing social games. Not intelligence.

- Comment on DIY experimental Redox Flow Battery kit 4 weeks ago:
Hmm. I have a 12 channel peristaltic pump at the moment that is meant for watering plants. Meaning they have a lot of downtime so the tubes are compressed for quite some time at the same spot.
Ignore the yellow rollers in the image below, that was experimental. The final version has 3 all metal rollers so the tube is always compressed at one point.
It’s an entirely custom design from scratch and haven’t uploaded the model to a 3D printing website yet but plan on doing so.
- Comment on DIY experimental Redox Flow Battery kit 4 weeks ago:
Hmm… I use cheapass silicone tubing, 5mm ID 7mm OD and wear hasn’t been an issue. Perhaps you compress the tube too much. The tube should be held shut so that no liquid flows backwards but also not compressed so much that it wears the tubing out. Your pump should have a variable tensioner on it.
Perhaps also you don’t have enough rollers. At least one roller needs to be in full contact with the tubing (compressing) so that there is no backflow.

I have experience with peristaltic pumps. What issues do you mean?
- Comment on Is it wrong that i would like to start a small 3d print business? 4 weeks ago:
I would not bet on 3D printing alone. Perhaps consider CNC engraving or lasercutting to go with it. The techniques are all very similar and you can appeal to a wider customer base.
Perhaps with 3D printing it’s worth making lithophanes for people and an engraver to make a nice frame out of wood. I’m considering doing this.

- Comment on phone stand in PETG with drooping overhangs 1 month ago:
Overhangs are always difficult in 3D printing and your part cooling fan makes a huge difference in this. Also your print speed and temperature are factors.
This model however can also be printed sideways, you’ll have lower bed adhesion but it won’t have any overhangs this way.

I hope aliexpress is better. I buy a lot of stuff from there like electronics components which aren’t really sold locally anymore. Also tools and arduino related things…
- Comment on I finished my 3D Printable screw design! Excellent print ability, reliable for simple use, though the head is prone to strip... can't win them all. 1 month ago:
Ackschually, you don’t need to print them entirely sideways for structural integrity. Printing at an angle should also work and you don’t get so many artifacts from support material.
- Comment on *Now you're playing with power!* 1 month ago:
Can confirm. So far I’ve gotten an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, docking station and a stand for it so it can be used as a laptop as well while traveling.
It certainly has issues but it’s an impressive device.
- Comment on Partially 3D printed CNC machine 1 month ago:
Nice to hear! At the moment the spindle, if it has the right to be called that, is a 775 motor with a chuck attached to it. Which is good enough for circuit boards and wood. Perhaps aluminium is doable as well as long as the feed rate is kept slow enough.
Should milling steel ever be on the table I’ll make a larger machine and will use leadscrews on X and Y instead of belts and perhaps dual Z motors.
I’ve also designed the build around materials that were readily available such as the 18mm X rails. Apparently they’re quite obscure since they aren’t sold on typical Chinese webshops.
- Comment on Partially 3D printed CNC machine 1 month ago:
Thanks! Indeed the Z axis rests on only one MGN12H block. For stability it can be changed to two sliders per rail at the cost of work area. For circuit boards and wood it should be strong enough to handle the load.
As for github/launchpad, I never used those before for sharing anything. I will look into those.

Nice! Once you get the hang of it FreeCAD is quite pleasant to use in my experience. I’ve updated the OP with a gdrive link.

- Comment on How to dry silica gel 1 month ago:
I use a small hotplate at about 125 degrees and an aluminium baking tray. If you spread the beads out thinly it will dry pretty quickly.
Alternatively you can use an old microwave and that should remove moisture from the silica gel in a matter of minutes. You can easily overheat them though.
