I realize this isn't your point but I feel the need to point out that skinheads are not nazis - it is unfortunately a very well working project of cultural appropriation by the racists.

In the scene racist skinheads are mostly referred to as boneheads, a term which I think makes much more sense.

Absolutely agreed.

The underlying map is great, the interfaces are great (especially on OrganicMaps), the way it can give me offline access to everything is great but in that crucial moment getting off a train/bus/whatever and thinking - hang on, which direction did I need to go? - the search just undoes everything else because often you literally can not find the location you need. Then it's hand-scrolling to roughly where you think it is, putting down a general pin and then eye-balling the actual location.

Don't get me wrong, it's fun in a sort of 90s-unfolding the city-map kind of way but not if you actually have an appointment somewhere.

Fully agreed with the usefulness of topgrade.

Topgrade is not just for archlinux but will happily upgrade Debian-/RedHat-Derivatives, Gentoo, Void, some BSDs and I think even Mac and Windows, though I'm not sure how those work.

The link you provided also goes to the unmaintained original version, while there is a community fork here: https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade which sees more development (but is also looking for maintainers!)

I'm also using topgrade and it is wonderful to upgrade the system dependencies but even the content of unrelated package managers such as pipx, vim, zsh plugin-managers, cargo programs, R packages, npm/yarn packages, and importantly for this thread flatpaks and snaps with one command. It really is lovely.

I think that's completely fair!

For Kuang I agree that they are generally enjoyable reads (or rather, exciting or suspenseful, I suppose) but I would strongly hesitate to put them into a recommendation looking for quaint and pleasant.

Her books go fairly detailed into gore and excesses of violence and sexual abuse, more so for her earlier works. So - good reads but come prepared.

It's interesting that people are surprised at these seatwarmers when they've only been offering indicators as aftermarket upgrades for decades and yet no BMW owner chose to buy them.

They also automatically inserted affiliate links into your browser bar/ search results until it was discovered and the response was a nipple-touching 'sorry'.

Only found this article on binance on the quick but iirc it affected a couple other pages as well.

Yes tenacity is a community fork that happened during the hubbub with the musescore takeover and telemetry additions and doesn't have any of it.

It also has a couple of quality-of-life additions and a few new features but nothing specifically different as of yet. Mostly, it's a good community-lead fork that has some momentum behind it - since it also unifies the developers behind 2-3 protest forks that happened at the same time and I think that's generally (if not a safe bet) a good thing to support.

On the topic of auto-typing, the mechanisms for variations of it exist in Wayland since I am using it in my password scripts to automatically fill login boxes. (Using tools like ydotool or wtype.)

So I would guess that KeePass hasn't integrated the necessary protocols/api for Wayland?

I think these are good points - desktop environment will be the most immediately impactful choice; then once you're settled a little into the Linux way you might start making choices about the package manager, eco-system and community philosophy.

But as you said, take your home directory with you and switching or exploring a little isn't a pain at all.

It's kind of my take as well, personally don't really care but that in turn means I also don't really care for a change.

But it also appears like a lot of people espouse the 'who cares about this' with a strong slant of simultaneously defending the status quo. I honestly felt the same when there was the whole master -> main phrasing change in a lot of git repository hosters.
