  • It’s not a dumb question at all. No, if you just wet it and let it dry, it will not keep its shape. I think for that, you have to steam it, but very gently and without overheating it. Acrylic yarn is plastic and it has a memory. If you steam it while blocking, you basically tell it; this is the shape i want you to keep. But i can’t tell you how hot the steam needs to be and the specifics. For instance, i don’t remember if you have to touch the yarn with the iron or just steam it while hovering over it.







  • What i really would love are tips and tricks. I remember another community that started doing that, but after a few times they stopped. Very frustrating, because it was quite interesting to read.

    I also like all kinds of discussions about why one chooses this or that terminal, or why they choose flatpak over certain repositories. Discussions about what went wrong and how they solved it (because then you learn where you need to look for issues and what people need to know from you to be able to help out).

    Experiences from newbies are nice too; what distro did they choose and did they run into issues.

    Sharing interesting websites would be nice as well.

    Just some thoughts.


  • Personally, i would prefer it if the linux 4 noobs community would be brought back to life, or if we have dedicated threads here where we can discuss newbie stuff.

    If we would go the route of threads, some helpful people who have a lot of experience could decide to help out and others could just skip the thread.

    And if people would want a new community, i would hope that it is not called something like ‘ditched windows’, because that sounds like a recipe to make it a community to complain about windows. For me as newbie, i’m looking for 2 things; info and howto’s and suggestions about everything linux, and the knowledge that there are others who are also new and ask things that would be interesting for me as well.
