While I use river as daily driver and am very happy with it, I feel people who like Hyprland will find river to be rather limited and barren in terms of looks and availability of plugins.

Does it support any DE other than Gnome? For the rest, looks cool!
Sadly, not officially (atm). I think you need to use a custom image and I don't know how well those work.

Governance leaves a lot to be desired.
Genuine question from somebody who's out of the loop and doesn't use NixOS: How does this affect your day to day using the distro?
Don't they just show a life that many people wish they could live? Those influencers are usually very good looking, drive nice cars, wear designer clothes and go on lavish holidays.
Seeing a normal/non-famous person have it makes it more believable that one day you'll have that life as well.
Either that, or it's just horniness meets para social relationship 🤷♂️
I've heard good things about VanillaOS. Not used it myself though.
With their package manager apx, you can use software from pretty much any distro in VanillaOS (copied from link above):
Apx is a tool that allows you to generate work environments based on any Linux distribution and seamlessly integrates them with the system in a convenient way ...
You will also know nothing and be happy.
Ignorance is bliss after all
I don't have anything useful to say but that sounds fixing dystopian.
I clearly didn’t read it.
I love the honesty. It's really refreshing to see someone take accountability instead of becoming defensive.
Looking back on my career, submitting your first merge/pull request can take anywhere from a few hours to several weeks (we're talking about 8+ hour work days). And that's at companies that have an onboarding process and coworkers you can ask for help and explanations about the code base, architecture etc.
Getting into someone else's code (this may include your past self) is almost never easy and often feels convoluted, because it's very difficult to see the context that existed at the time when the code was written. And by context I mean everything that influenced the decision to write lines the way they were written, including undocumented discussions, necessary but non-obvious workarounds, understanding of the problem and solution space by the dev, general state of mind of the person writing the code and more.
Don't beat yourself up because you couldn't contribute in just a few hours.
I would first reach out to the devs on IRC/Discord/Matrix and express interest to contribute and see how they react. You don't know if they would even accept your PR, so I wouldn't do too much work upfront.
Then, when they are open to work with you, find out if they are willing to help you ease into the code. What files should you study to implement the changes that you've discussed earlier, any considerations that are not obvious, is there legacy code that you shouldn't touch etc.
It's important to keep in mind that (collaborative) software development is more than just being able to write code. And a lot of the surrounding work is not very glamorous or fun.
I hope that helps and wish you good luck! 🤞

I think Inkscape 1.4 doesn't bring any fancy features, but rather makes what already works better. The inconspicous releases are just as important.
