I'd say the best contribution is they managed to build a mainstream commercial service on top of all of this!

Well, let's be polite and say it's not for everyone. TCB13 isn't the only person to really love this DE 😛

I don't get the enthousiasm either, there is always to much information for me on the screen and inconsistent UI all over the place 🤷

I really enjoy using systemd and wasn't an aware linux user before it started getting adopted, but you message really reads like a bad commercial 😅 "begin today your journey through..."

The wiki is what makes it really hard for me to move out. This masterpiece is where I learned 70% of what I know about linux systems 🤷

Same after Windows 8.1 ! 🥳

I've had to use Windows 11 a tiny bit for work and it was the most painful experience I had for a while. Most apps I used on there had obvious bugs, like the VPN chosen by my company requiring me to reboot every time it goes to sleep ...

I love how higher IP rating is always the argument, it looks like everybody in this planet is doing daily deep diving and needs its smartphone to do that 😅

I love the direction this is going, I've been using i3/sway for years and gnome apps recently became awesome in tiling mode because of their responsiveness. If this is implemented this could definitely get me back on gnome 👍

"Phone calls home" ? O_o

I'm surprised to see arch on your list, I know everything runs in containers now but arch seems way too unstable O_o

By unstable I don't mean "buggy", but "you will have to adapt to new major version of package XXX or you can't fetch updates anymore, so no security patches anymore".

I would have loved attending the meeting where they decided which were the most ugly icons possible.

It's impressive how little self-respect they must have to block their own branding behind a paywall. I don't even get how it could be a good business strategy, I feel like it would very badly affect the perception of quality for a new adopter.

I've manually removed all my posts before deleting the account and they are still available ... This is total bullshit but I still I will never have second thought.

Although there are personal information on some of these posts (eg. link to Github with my first/last name in it), so maybe I can press charge or something ...

Well that's a topic that intrigued me recently.

Here in France there was already some debates about how worth it was, mostly because it takes a few years to compensate the cost of production of the battery. But in France we think of the electricity as basically carbon-free (our energetic mix is something like 70% nuclear, 7% gas+coal, then "clean" energy)

However, in the world I think something like 70% of electricity production is fossil (with ~40% of coal), I don't get how electric cars are even a thing, say in the US?
