I would guess it's one of three things:
I'm also using ComfyUI. It just has the ability to do so much more than something like Automatic1111, even if it is missing a couple of features. For example, I have several workflows that do incremental changes to a photo, changing the prompt halfway through the generation, or even upscaling halfway through the generation.
I can't really imagine going back, unless there is some killer feature that Comfy is missing.
The best part is that this is written on the top part of the box, meaning you would have to open the box to read it.
When I first tried Helix, my main concern (that prevented me from getting too far into it) was not going from Vim to Helix, but the other way around. Vim (or sometimes vi) is a standard editor on almost any Linux machine, so if I am ever working on a server if a VM, I would need to know/use Vim keybinds. That made Vim a more useful tool for me to learn at the time, as I could use the skills both on my machine and anywhere else.
If I remember correctly, they are both from Unsplash. I think I used their image API with "Colorful" or something as the search term.
Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists is a great example of how references work (or don't work) in more complex situations. Might seem like a lot at first, but working through writing the code yourself and seeing the compiler's responses is a great help when learning Rust. It also doesn't hurt to read it once and then come back and read it again later, after you try writing some more programs.
Just as a warning, you are on Kbin, which is a bit different from Lemmy. The two communicate just fine, but have different UIs and features. Lemmy generally has "communities" instead of "magazines", but they work in mostly the same way.
For Lemmy, generally going to the search menu in the UI allows you to search for communities, but not every one will come up (for example if the server you are on doesn't know about another new server yet). If is often better to use a third-party website like browse.feddit.de to find new communities.
Not sure how subscribing to them would work on Kbin, though.
Was looking for a furry one, and pawb.social seemed to be well-run (since it was related to a couple of decently-sized Mastodon servers) and was generic enough (and not NSFW focused). There also seemed to be a decent number of technical people there as well (in fact, one of the Mastodon instances is furry.engineer), so it matched up with my other interests as well. I considered lemmyrs.org, but ended up not choosing it.
Bird definitely count. Have you seen the Avali?
Honestly, just pick one that sounds interesting and install it as dual boot or on a secondary machine. I would recommend Pop OS for most people, but I ended up going from Kubuntu to Archcraft (also an interesting one to check out) to plain Arch with a fully custom setup. I have also tried Manjaro and Elementary OS, but never ran them as a full-time OS.
You will likely find good things and bad things about every one you try, and eventually find one you like. I prefer Arch mostly because of the AUR, but I have been really tempted to try Pop OS because of how much development has been going into it.
Regardless, don't be afraid to search the Arch wiki for things, as it is a good reference even for other distros. Just know that you might have to use different package names than on the wiki.
The usefulness of ComfyUI is not just making one simple image. It is the ability to completely customize how that image is created.
For example, I have a workflow that generates a half-resolution preview image, then upscales the latent and puts it through two more sampling nodes. All three of the nodes have a different prompt input, with the focus slowly shifting to style instead of content.
I have also created a custom upscaling workflow, where the image is upscaled with normal upscaling, then re-encoded and put through just a few sampling steps, the re-encoded with a tiled VAE decoder (to save my VRAM). It creates much better results (more detail and control) than a direct ERSGAN upscale, and can even be put through ERSGAN afterward to get a super large image.
