Comments complaining how everything takes time to compile in Gentoo are kind of funny, do you really need everything to be installed asap?
That being said, Gentoo indeed is not for everyone. I've been using it for +15 years and am really happy with it - almost zero maintenance and it's super stable. The crux is the time it takes to be installed and people hold a weird grudge against it just for that.
But at the same time there are more distros oferring pretty much the same, i.e. your own arch.
At my uni they go to the extreme where not only one gets around 20-30 mails DAILY but now to go check your email, which is gmail-based, it hops first into a Cloudflare human verification page that you can never pass in Falkon because it keeps looping after you check the human verification
Never got into the tiling wm craze, but since I found out about Gnome's PaperWM thought it was much better than tiled and traditional wms and wanted something like that for KDE. Even was thinking about doing it by myself until one day learned someone else did it and much better than I would
Can't tell if in that last part you're talking about KDE/Plasma or about Windows 11.
I don't even use Arch btw but feel like OpenBSD fanboys would relate more to this
Not sure if I'm understanding, but can't you just pipe the whole thing to awk and capture the first field? Like
echo "/dev/loop0: [2081]:64 (/a/path/to/afile.dat)" | awk -F: '{print $1}'
Which would print
/dev/loop0
I'd suppose if you ask this on KDE Reddit someone with enough time could make something like this with Kvantvm, though the difficult parts would be (1) the web browser theme, and specially (2) the icon theme - I have never ever seen an icon theme like that for Linux
Wishing to have stable Qt6 Krita soon
And the rest of the world too.
My strongly held suspicion is that it's a form of the dunning-kruger effect. People have a lot of experience using software-A so much so that they tend to overlook just how much skill and knowledge they have accumulated with that specific software. Then when they try software-B they misconstrue their lack of knowledge with that specific software as complexity.
You just answered yourself. They're just tools.
It boggles my mind people can bear a device that can end lifes in an instant and feel like they are fun. I guess this is making my unpopular opinion.
That's an insult to six-year-olders. They are learning constantly and they don't shit their pants.
