Every KDE distro can do all of these except whatever adjusting kernel parameters means? I don’t know how to do any of this in the command and I’ve been using Linux for 8 years.

Absolutely. I hope flatpak can take that role. It’s already widely accepted.

I sincerely hope you’re right.

I hope America will have democratic elections in four years. But I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t happen.

Trump is a fascist, has both chambers and the supreme Court behind him. At best, it’s going to be a very dark four years for minorities, women and poor people.

I switched back to Manjaro today and I agree.

I’ve been on Linux exclusively for over 5 years now. I’m starting to struggle with some Windows stuff that I just forgot how to do. But also I’m still shit at Linux. It just works so well that I never really had to learn what’s under the hood.

There is a lot of software that only runs on Windows that has no viable alternatives. For private use, the vast majority of people would be fine without Windows, but so many professional applications require it.

Also you need a critical mass of people for a revolution to be successful. I don’t see that any time soon.

Even if Trump doesn’t further dismantle the already weak democratic systems in the US, the consequences of this election will be felt for many decades to come. Western allies will be ostracized, international climate efforts won’t have a bloody chance now, authoritarianism will rise all around the world. Palestine will likely cease to exist, so may Ukraine and Georgia.

Lots of innocent people will die just because they happen to be LGBTQ or pregnant or not white. Poverty will increase. The courts will be filled with right-wing judges.

This election might be the most consequential political outcome ever since Hitler was appointed chancellor. It will be a fucking nightmare.

And every idiot who didn’t vote for Harris is partly responsible. There is no bloody excuse.

EU needs to step in

Except for the also outstanding KDE Connect which could just be called Konnect.
