You’re not buying anything. You don’t pay any money.

You should donate to your distro of choice and other FOSS you're using. Developers need to eat.

It’s possible to separate the artwork from the artist. There are plenty of people I don’t like, but still use their software. People have different boundaries of course

Omarchy is one the most interesting Linux distros, I have tried over the last decade. It does a lot of things contrary to the popular and conventional wisdom and is successful with it. The install takes over a whole drive, asks you for keyboard layout, username, and password. Less than ten minutes later after selecting the installer at boot, it was fully installed and updated. I have never seen anything like that.

Instead of trying to be accommodating to new Linux users by imitating Windows or macOS, it leans into the strengths of Linux and tries to actually teach you something.

The keyboard focused UX is very polished and accessible. The integrated themes are very well done as well.

Neovim is the only installed editor. To make it friendlier it includes lazyvim. No other distro does that.

I hope we get more opinionated distros in this vein.

Boring is good. It means it works and isn’t chasing trends.

For example it doesn’t insist you install flat packs.

Bought cannabis seeds from a European breeder.

Die deutsche Politik hat kollektiv versagt was Klimaschutz angeht. Angefangen bei der vehementen Anti-Atombewegung, über Kohlekult, Verbrennerwahn, Solar- und Windskeptik. Alles davon hat konservativ-reaktionär-romantische Anteile.

Der von Linken und Umweltschützern als Sieg gefeierte Atomausstieg war ein Klimapolitisches Eigentor gigantischer Ausmaße.

Den Armen die Freiheit bei der Ernährung einzuschränken ist nah einer „sollen sie doch Kuchen essen“ Einstellung.

There’s already a real AI running in the background, that controls Altman.

Real communism has never been tried.

tl;dr lots of bugs fixed.

What distro are you running Niri and Noctalia on? Did you find it easy to install?

E-Mails are also excellent, if you want to push through something unpopular. Send a long e-mail that will be ignored by most people. Repeat at least once. Then you can reference back to it at a later date.

Lexx was a British-German-Canadian production.

It’s one of my favorite tv shows.

Sure, that’s the theory. In practice code review often looks like this:

a quick glance to see if the code plausibly does what it claims for longer patches
A long argument about some stylistic choice for short patches

In other words – people were barely reading merge requests before. Code reviews have limited effects as well. You won’t catch all bugs or see if it actually works just by looking at the code. Code reviews mainly serve to spread knowledge about the code among the team. The more code exists in a project, the harder it is to understand. You don’t want huge areas of code, that only one person has ever seen.

Project managers don’t necessarily talk to angry customers directly. They might also choose to chase more features instead of allocating resources to fixing bugs. It depends on what the bosses prioritize. If they want AI and lots of new features, that‘s what they will get. Fixing bugs, improved stability, better performance, etc. are rarely the priority.

Sounds kinda nice, I mist admit.

Niri implements a scrolling windowmanager like PaperWM instead of tiling like Hyprland. Tiling resizes your windows constantly, while scrolling only resizes when you want it to. If you keep opening windows, Niri opens them to the right of the last one on an infinitely wide workspace. Workspaces are organized vertically downwards. There’s no fixed number of workspaces, they grow on demand. There’s also a zoomed out overview showing you all workspaces and windows. Niri and Hyprland have some similarities though otherwise like lots of keyboard commands to move, resize, arrange windows.

Niri is friendlier overall I would say. It’s worth trying both since they are distinct.
