Fonzie!

Ah but… Nobody uses that! Because then you wouldn’t choose JSON

XML can validate itself and there’s the self-documenting WSDL; so while it has more overhead and an ugly syntax it can make for a more stable and earlier to understand API for your API’s consumers.

It’s fine in PHP, so that catches most server backends.

Ruby as well, it even raises a warning about the string where a bool should be!

Python handles it just fine, as well.

Rust doesn’t allow it, depending on the backend framework and server software this might give issues.

The same goes for C# .NET

So depending on how this is handled a C# or Rust backend might cause the name not to be stored, but then I’d expect nothing to be stored… :/

IMO Kate is just VS Code or Sublime Text but worse. The LSP never works, I can’t have multi-caret editing, it’s harder to extend it’s functionality, etc. etc.

Just use open source VS Code (or better yet VS Codium), at that point.

This is not a good place to recommend commercial services.

Adding that this would work even if OP uses full disk encryption, as it’s encrypted with a passphrase; just double-click the drive in the file manager and enter the encryption passphrase when prompted (NOT a sudo password!)

It’s more like, the distro is the actual “under the hood” OS and the DE is the looks and user interaction.

I would say XFCE and Cinnamon; no two XFCE’s look alike and Cinnamon can easily be molded into something very different as well.

I see a lot of people recommending KDE and Gnome; I’ve found those surprisingly rigid, although there are more guides on how to “rice” KDE into the most non-KDE things so there’s that.

Ah I guess that makes more sense!

Now if it was Debian with the Gnome DE vs Ubuntu, that would’ve been ironic!

I never had good luck making hardware work right with ubuntu Debian, […] always worked way better out of the box on bare metal

Oh the irony!

I’ve been running Mint on my Dell XPS 9370 (methinks) for years and it’s always worked just fine. Only the fingerprint scanner just won’t work, not even with fprintd; it can set up a finger but never to use that same finger afterwards.

I love the customisability of KDE

I read this often but found KDE so difficult to customise. XFCE or Cinnamon is what I’d consider extremely customisable, KDE doesn’t even consistently listen to what theme colour I set :-(

Calm down, he isn’t the sole regent of the kernel, you know.

That’s really, really out of character for Apple.

But then, so was releasing seriously powerful computers.

Maybe that’s cause FLAC encodes audio instead.

It’s really just atomic Fedora […]*

Ah, I do use Mint on my dev laptop but Bazzite on my gaming PC, each has their own usage.

It’s really just Fedora with different defaults, pre-installed software (mostly for Steam, MangoHUD, etc.) and a welcome-screen that helps you set up different software.

There’s an atomic Fedora spin made for gaming, Bazzite, and the experience has been to install, and just go. Everything works, everything is set up for gaming and performance monitoring, it’s actually baffling how good this is!

I realise I’ sounding like a shill, but genuinely it’s great and seems to be what you’re looking for. You can always just try it in a VM!

Not a competitor, fascism. And because the US government passed them a few million to do so.
