I'm from a country with lots of bears, the mountain rescue authority here encourages having speakers with music playing. Bear bells are pretty much useless, but wildlife is pretty good at picking up human voices. If I'm going hiking alone I periodically yell out random words.

Seeing the state of shared libraries on Rust and the size of binaries, I dont see the benefit of this. The C version is still gonna be the better option in most cases.

I love it. Blurred, rounded corner, minimalist window managers are starting to get old.

I do, but that's only because I daily a laptop. On my desktop I had hyprland. IMO a wm is not practical on anything portable. Multi monitor is a pain when I have to connect a projector, changing power modes is finicky, iwctl and bluez aren't that practical when you operate them from anywhere and a clickable ui is more important in certain situations, so you need a DE to do all those things quickly and for them to just work®.

Between gnome, KDE, xfce and cinnamon, I ended up using gnome. I need fractional scaling, which rules out the last two, and need certain theming, which is more complicated. In my experience, the only theme that properly covers all the assets in KDE is breeze, all the other I've tried are incomplete, not uniform, buggy or have other problems.

Not to say gnome themes aren't buggy, but I just had more succes with them

I mean if you dont like gnome its fine, but still better than using windows, what's the hold up?

gnome has HDR, idk how well it works or how much gnome distrupts your workflow

diehards really kill the community. I think the guys from suckles are most guilty of this

There's a reason KISS exists, no reason my terminal app should be also drawing my panel, this just seems like unneeded complexity
