I was going to ask if you’d tied a string to it, but now I understand.

The point hinted at in the title is not part of this article. This is an overview of various versions and branches of UNIX, and nothing more.

Knowing this has no value for you, but it made me smile that I read your comment on a screen split between Neovim on one side and Firefox on the other, on KDE on Tumbleweed.

This week was a rebuild-everything week. Latest snapshot upgraded something like 95% of all my non-flatpak packages.

Equating a debate over the default behavior of mouse clicks—behavior that can be changed in ten seconds—with the very essence of the free software movement is so comically misguided as to be downright sad.

Yes; my post is obliquely suggesting that people are ridiculous.

What’s the gist of the conclusion of this half-hour video? I’m curious, but not that curious.

When I first switched to KDE, this issue took up roughly 15 seconds of my time as I saw what was happening and went exploring for the setting to change the behavior. Apart from having to change the setting again from time to time, I have spent exactly zero seconds thinking about it and exactly zero seconds wondering which approach was the “best” since then. I wonder how honest it is for this site to refer to a “debate”; it’s hard for me to imagine anyone giving a shit beyond setting their own system up the way they like it.

Half an article with the other half locked behind a paid subscription.

You’re not necessarily missing out on anything. Most people find a distro they like and stick with it until some specific reason compels them to change, which might never happen. Distro hoppers are excited about Linux and excited about exploring different things and discussing them with others, which gives you the impression that everyone’s doing it—but that’s not true. It’s a hobby, and you’re free to adopt it, but there’s no point to it other than to entertain and challenge you, if that’s your thing.
