That is for a circle that’s not filled in, that’s what the outline operation does.

Yup, circle select, menu bar, select->outline, select your thickness, then use the paint bucket.

This is what people mean when they say GIMP can do the same stuff, the process is just totally different.

I didn’t attribute it to malice, I said that the OP’s post is correct that Christoph’s stance is hardline and a complete showstopper for the R4L project. His reasoning is likely one of pragmatism, by the sounds of it, and it’s reasonable, but I simply don’t agree given Rust’s history as a language used in a codebase historically using another language (Firefox). The success stories there are already written, the language has developed with that in mind already. He’s not being ridiculous or malicious, he’s just being conservative and playing it safe, but that still gets in the way.

Yeah…until Christoph replied and confirmed what Hector was saying was true and not FUD. He didn’t mince words, he said he did not want Rust in Linux whatsoever, only for new codebases, not existing ones like Linux.

Well, they’d need to add a shebang, they’d need to set the executable bit, and if it works, it works, but if it doesn’t open a terminal (some DEs do, some don’t), you don’t even know if it worked, it’s not really that straightforward.

In the same way that not everyone cares about how their car works and wants to tinker with it and modify it, but they use it every day - there are people who feel that way about computers, and Linux being viable for those people is a good thing, and we don’t need to “dumb down” the whole ecosystem to do it, since Linux is all about options.

What you just said is like “I forgot that changing your tire/oil in 2024 is akin to surgery”. Yeah, it’s not that hard, but do you know how to do it? How many Linux users who drive a car do you know that could do it themselves correctly? Everything’s easy when you already have a breadth of knowledge on it.

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

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.

They recently started bringing it back, so there’s a 5-10 year span where it wasn’t taught.

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.

…or that it was asked at 8AM EST and it’s only been a few hours?

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.

I’d have recommended KRename personally. It uses some programming-esque stuff (format specifiers for stuff), but it’s not exactly difficult to do advanced stuff with it.
