With the amount of Linux nerds on Lemmy, I'm shocked there's an a TUI client for it.

Maybe I'll have to make one someday.

Tbf I've heard crazier things which have ended up being true in the past week alone...

Thank you for including RSS. I'll be adding your site to my feed :)

... until you run into a problem which you can't figure out on your own. Then you search the web, and only find how to do it with Y, instead of the technology you used which is called X. So after determining that you're truly stuck, you switch to Y. Until you get stuck again, you search the web, and can only find how to do it in Z. And everyone online tells you you're stupid to use X or Y in the first place. And the cycle continues.

This is why I gave up on being a web developer and stayed far away from JS.

Do you have a link? All I see in a quick internet search is about a crypto company

Totally off topic but what is that "Anti Commercial AI thingy" that you have linked? Is it to prevent AI scraping?

Matrix bridges are nice until you realize that you have to be a mod in the server to add the bridge, you need to do it not only for every Discord server you want to use on matrix, but every channel as well. It's a huge chore. And ofc it doesn't work with Discord DMs.

Not blaming Matrix or the matrix bridge developers here because it's not their fault. But let's be honest: matrix bridges are a pain to set up for Discord and for a majority of people aren't worth the hassle. Moving to Matrix would be the better choice if at all possible

Totally agree with basically every point here. You hit the nail on the head. App images are the .exe's of the Linux world and I don't understand how someone can say they love app images but hate Window's portable exe's. Even Windows doesn't have nearly as many portable executable as they once did. And when they do, most people (even those who prefer app images) prefer an exe with a Windows installer.

Anyways, this is all to point out why I avoid app images if at all possible

OpenSuse seems like it would meet your needs. OpenSuse Kalpa might be one to look into since it's immutable and features KDE Plasma

Interesting how there's so many answers here, but no mention of the one I came here for (and I thought would be most popular) : ricing.

I got into Linux when I saw screenshots of all the cool desktops people made with KDE, XFCE, and tiling window managers. Even Gnome looked sleek and minimal. After a while I got bored of ricing but I stayed for the ease of use as a developer

Cinnamon Desktop? Cononical? Since when was Linux Mint owned by Canonical?
