Apparently I had uninstalled the kwallet manager. I'll change the password and see if my problem still occurs.

Do you know how I would do that when I cannot access kwallet from the settings?

The password for kwallet is different bc I thought I might have ended up using it to manage money. I did not.

I have checked for for anything to do with kwallet in settings and searched for it with kwin. Kwallet doesn't exist in either of those for me, only at system restart.

I have noticed other people with kwallet issues, but that only affects me when I restart my system (asks for password). Other than that, I can't find a way to edit or disable kwallet without installing a 2-star app on the KDE Discover store that might not work and is reviewed as extremely annoying.

How do you know when to update an AppImage? I would use the Krita AppImage but I would have to hunt down the file in my file manager to open it and I can't find a way to update it without straight up replacing the thing manually.

It benefits both devs and end users.

Many people don't have the time or resources to manage a broken application especially devs who have to deal with that on several Linux distributions simultaneously.

Many distros use different package install scripts and repos to suit their specific needs. If I were to use a Debian-based distro, I would need to use apt to grab from a Debian-compatible repo. If I somehow got apt to work on Fedora, then not only would the program I installed not work, it would likely annihilate many of the preexisting dependencies and possibly brick the system.

I personally use Arch Linux which uses pacman, my package manager of choice, and a lot of times I'll find an application that doesn't work on my system due to mismatched dependencies. Arch is incompatible with .deb and .rpm files and does not use the Debian repo and its derivatives. It uses the AUR and its own derivatives of that repo. I don't have the time or skill to get a program to work with a newly updated dependency on one distro nevermind however many exist on the internet. Many devs do that for free after they've been working at their job for hours and/or taking college courses.

What a Flatpak or appimage (ignoring goofy aah snaps) really does is allow a developer to update dependencies for their application at their own pace without having to play catchup when something inevitably breaks due to an update. It allows for a more stable system. As a Debian Bro, you might not need that, but on rolling-release distros like Arch and funky distros like Manjaro that can be very much welcome.

I pirate old stuff and overpriced stuff permanently. I refuse to pay an ebay seller $200 for an old GameCube game and I refuse to pay $700 dollars for all the Sims 4 dlc. You may also catch me pirating movies and shows as I strongly dislike subscription models.

I usually have lucid dreams in the third person where I'm not a character in the story. I instead control the other characters like in a video game and I can save scum to get a particularly hard to achieve outcome. Usually, I like to let events pan out by themselves though, as that leads to the most interesting results.

I like Vsauce, but YouTube just never recommends his videos to me. Same with all the others except for Veritasium. I just haven't seen enough of their content and schedule.

Never really watched him much since I was more into minecraft content when I was younger, but I'll take another look at the channel.

That's understandable. When I first saw The Linux Experiment, he felt almost like a 3D render rather than a real human being. Gamers Nexus can get pretty passive aggressive.
