You’re describing the boot keyboard, not the full USB HID protocol. It is true that there are some keyboards that only support NKRO, but the USB HID protocol has supported NKRO forever. https://www.devever.net/~hl/usbnkro

Me replacing GNU coreutils with the rust ones.

That doesn’t get you a good text editor. That just gets you emacs with two bad next editors.

But how am I going to use capabilities to have my equivalent of sl having setuid to nobody?

They’re downloaded somewhere under /var/snap and by default a snap only has access to a limited set of directories - one under /var/snap for system-wide data (generally used by snaps that run services like cups or MySQL) and one under ~/snap for each user. When you snap remove an app, it bundles that up into a file that’s kept for a while in case you reinstall, but it won’t if you use --purge.

Obviously many apps request access to other places (such as non-hidden directories in your homedir) so they can read or write stuff, but that’s down to the app to then behave correctly (same as with any other packaging system).

Let me know when I can get cups as a flatpak.

(Oh and snaps predate flatpaks.)

Yeah the API is open and there used to be an open store, but lack of interest ended up with the project shutting down. As it turns out people don’t like alternative stores nearly as much as they like the idea of alternative stores.

My ex: what charging cables do you have? They last forever, mine break after a year! Also my ex: so I got a bunch of the same charging cables you have and they all broke after a year

Great way to damage a power cable.

The only reason my last machine didn’t get more than 10 years worth of in-place upgrades was because I decommissioned it as a desktop and turned it into a server, so I wiped it at that point.

Because despite all the people telling me I’m wrong, Kubuntu is still by far the best distro I’ve ever used. Rock solid, super fast, and continues to improve.

If you say so

Much like Windows.

It’s not though.

This isn’t even hard. KDE without a second thought.

I regularly try other desktops, and I regularly come back to the only desktop with any sort of reasonable thought put into it.

Because distros have a sick sense of humour.

As an autistic person I can promise you: Windows does not represent us.

KDE on the other hand…

So Kubuntu then?

Canonical still licenses most of their stuff under GPL3, including new stuff. The license (other than it being open) was probably not even a consideration in deciding to experiment with uutils.
