I’m quite skinny and I also think I should exercise more and eat less junk food. There isn’t any fat phobia there, it targeted me just as well.

That’s not too weird, until IntelliJ added its lite editor, it was the same way for many years.

KDE Neon does not come with snapd installed.

Upgrades are easy, backups are really good, if upgrades mess up, you can restore from backup even if NC is hosed. As for local storage, I never did it, but here’s the docs for it! https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage/local.html

Cargo is really simple, which is great, but also limiting. Maven is much more complex, but for good reason - there’s use cases, especially around multi-artifact projects and version sharing, where cargo would require either some glue or you run into some interesting edge cases. Usually, Rust isn’t used for the kinds of big, wacky projects with a million dependencies that companies write in Java/Kotlin, so those kinds of use cases are considered more unusual.

Gradle, in my opinion, makes itself complex because it’s all code, is very brittle, and several of its features just don’t work right and require workarounds. When it works, it builds fast and it works well, but getting it to work, and how often you have to get it to work again…not worth it.

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/maven.html That’s not true, you can use Maven if you want!

Crippling is a bit extreme - have you used Proton recently?

If I recall correctly, the desktop right click menu was one of the things they fixed in Plasma 6, actually.

For the window corners thing, meta+left or right should let you move it to somewhere you can grab it.

Check the list, bud. It’s far from just obscura.

Majority by number of distros, or only including desktop Linux distros? Because yeah, if you’re including server distros, that’s true, and if you count it by the number of distros, that’s true, but most people use one of a handful of distros on their desktop. Both gnome and KDE have software centers which you can use to install stuff without the command line.

It just means your KDE version is newer, it’s also the distro made by the KDE devs. I’m not too worried about canonical, they’re annoying, but it rarely affects me.

Just get KDE from the horse’s mouth then and use KDE Neon. Ubuntu packages, but snapd isn’t even installed by default. It also ships with rolling release stable KDE, but isn’t rolling release otherwise.

Try a few of the options here. I personally have used powertop and tlp and they help, but the best mix for your hardware might be different.

I’m more talking about laptops, you can use it without paying for it on a device you build yourself, albeit with some functionality restricted.

Oh no, the manufacturer of any computer with a windows license paid for it and passed that cost to you. You paid for it.

Imagine paying for Windows. What a waste of money.

If you’re using pipewire, try XDAJackRetask, I use it for that purpose.

Heh. “Guy” has some interesting history. It originally referred to Guy Fawkes, because that was his name. Then it came to mean any person, gender neutral, then it became any man, now gendered, but the neutral definition never went away, so we have both meanings floating around still, but the original meaning, an effigy of Guy Fawkes, died.

(I skipped a few steps in there because they’re not relevant between guy Fawkes and any person)

This is correct. You can also omit the parentheses on the function call in Lua if the only argument is a table or string literal.
