#KDE #plasma wants to make their desktop environment as good as Windows or even better; #GNOME has no respect for Windows and wants to make the best desktop they can.
As a result: Plasma is Windows but with a good kernel and community and no malware included, and GNOME is the best preconfigured experience available anywhere for any device.
Windows is the least user friendly option available today, why would you try to model your UX after it ...

I hate that we have inverted the meaning of the word "search" in the context of software searching. "To search" used to mean that you had to hunt for something in a pile of irrelevant stuff, now "to search" means to be handed answers without searching for them.

I have never known a piece of software that is more difficult to configure than vim and neovim.
I think that a lot of users are oblivious to how bad it is because they just pipe a shell script from curl into their shell, and it works, and they did not have to actually do the configuring. Or they struggle for longer than they would ever admit and just pretend that it isn't that bad because they don't want to look bad.

#fishshell is a shell that is already fully ready to use out of the box.
what I want to know is: is there a #vim alternative that works out of the box, with a fully configured LSP client and line numbers?

Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.
