Mantaflow: bake always crashes, cannot be resumed
After realizing that there's no problem if I use Uni Cache (what I usually avoid) instead of OpenVDB I've found an answer myself even for OpenVDB. I don't know why nobody else is experiencing these ...

How to create a realistic looking Ink spill from a bottle?
You could also try volumetrics and an image texture.
Use an image texture for the color bleed
Give your ink spill a Glass Shader and a Principled Volume shader
Use a texture to drive the volume's ...

Should I be changing temperature min and max or reaction speed if I want my flames to go higher?
A high Fuel value will bring more fuel and make higher (but also bigger and more agitated) flames. A low Reaction Speed will speed up the reaction and make higher flames as well. To make higher flames ...

Blender - Quick Liquid - Domain is a glass cube
Quick Liquid does 2 things.
1.
It sets up a domain object (some cube-like shape) around the currently selected object. It gives this object a default glass material and sets it to be displayed as a ...

Simple water ball simulation?
I agree with Allen Simpson - use a shader something like this for the "water ball" (object is just a simple sphere). Use a Value Node with #frame entered in the field to make the value match ...

How do i create this smoothie texture for mantaflow liquids?
Try something like this. It's just 3 Voronoi Textures (of varying sizes) with their vectors warped slightly by a Noise Texture so they don't create such "uniformly circular" dots.

why is my liquid simulation baked like this?
You need to activate this single thing in your fluid domain:
This will give all those particles mesh around them, you need then adjust your settings to fit in your scene

How to make Mantaflow spawn less fluid without resizing source?

I want to have cold smoke emitting from bottle but can't get the settings right
I think what you want to create is physically fog, not smoke. It's cold condensed water in the air that settles down and in this case, dissolves quickly.
To simulate cold gas there are these settings ...

Problems with Materials on imported mantaflow object

Why does my fluid have all this colors after baking? I assume it's a density/ velocity map but don't know how to disable it

Create a cube that is slightly bigger that your domain and give it a Flow Behavior > Geometry. If you want to drop an object into the water, give your object a Fluid > Effector.
