Come on, it's not his fault, if Quark just bought better spatulas it would be fine

Sure, but is that due to a better product, cheaper product or a better political landscape?

I am leaning on the latter two options.

"Looking to upstage Apple"

I am sure Huawei will run a good presentation, but I have severe doubts about "upstaging", especially since we don't know what Huawei will launch.

Please notice that I spoke about the configuration of the DE/VM, I have learned a lot about DE/VM confug from looking at different distros

This is not just one simple question.

You need to break it down into smaller tasks.

First things first, you need to get data from a Pixelfed instance, ok, start by looking up how to connect to the Pixelfed API.

Once you have a way to connect to the API, you need to request the data you need.

Once you have the data, look at the actual data, do you need to do extra formating?

Once you have the data, it is time to get/build the display.

Once you have the display, you need to figure out how to get your computer to talk to it, is it as simple as just sending the number to the serial port or do you need to use something like the GPIO interface on a Raspberry pi?

It sounds as you want to evaluate different Linux Distributions.

DE/GUI is a good one, terminal commands is a bit useless since the vast majority of Linux systems use Bash as default.

This is what I would look into on a new distro:

UI - What DE or WM is it using, what is the default config like, and try to learn from that. How is the terminal prompt configured (the default Ubuntu and Debian prompts are terrible, I allways change them)

Package Manager - how does it work, what software is available?

Unique software - Does the distribution include some tools, applications or games I haven't heard about? If so, what do they do, and how do they work.

This gives me a feel for the distribution and how to use it.

Sigh, does that mean I have to block that entire instance as well?

Are there any active english communities there?

The suggestion I made tells others that you have actively studied the subject.

If you want to say that you have studied actively, but sporadically, you would say something like:

"Jag har väl studerat Svenska lite till och från under typ 10 år nu"

That is a causal way of saying it.

If you have only passively learned the subject, I would phrase it like this:

"De senaste 10 åren har jag hört och läst mycket Svenska, och har då lärt mig en del."

This puts focus on how you were exposed to a subject and what you learned from it

Jag lär mig svenska i fler är 10 år

That sentence, while clear on what you want to communicate, is quite clearly not written by a native Swede.

I am a native Swede and this is how I would reformat it:

"Jag har studerat Svenska i mer än 10 år."

If I wanted to be less formal I'd use the slang "pluggat" instead of "studerat"

"Jag har pluggat Svenska i mer än 10 år."

I do know about that, but that is just picking a number from a list, the clever part of a compose key is that you can sort of figure it out on your own; if you are on a US keyboard and need to type the letter/word "Å" it makes sense to try with compose+Ao but when that didn't work you tried compose+oA and got it.

No need to look it up in a big table.

 

I mean in those areas where it just identical houses along a road in huge blocks.

How would you realisyicly solve it?

 

In the 80s/90s Arnold was a huge movie star, playing huge men in both serious and comedy roles.

I guess that what I am asking is; what actor today could occupy the same kind of decade defining place as Arnold did in the 80s/90s?

They don't have to be a massive bodybuilder, but they should be the first name that anyone would think of when someone say "2010s/2020s".

I find unusual spirits interesting, and I want to hear about the ones you have.
