No Zsh support for now, and maybe no user fonts?

And a warning: it's got telemetry on by default.

PSA: As is commonly recommended, watch the director's cut if you can, especially if it's your first time. The main difference is that the regular release has a voice over in the beginning explaining a lot (too much).

EDIT: I was thinking of a different distro than OP's

I think I know which distro you reference (are we keeping it a secret for good reason?). If it's the one I'm thinking of, I've also reached out to admins about toxic messaging in the forums, and the response was hostile, dismissive, and disappointing.

Unfortunately, despite being interested in some technical aspects of the distro, I doubt the sanity of some of the team, and don't want to deal with their hostility either.

So far, this isn't much of anything.

Telegram already closes public channels reported for copyright violations.

Some excerpts from this post:

Compared to other platforms, we do not see the seriousness of Telegram to cooperate.

. . .

In May 2023, progress appeared to be going in the wrong direction. Telegram was reportedly refusing to cooperate with the Ministry of Communications and Digital on the basis it did not wish to participate in any form of politically-related censorship.

. . .

With no obviously public comment from Telegram on the matter, it’s hard to say how the social platform views its end of what appears to be an informal agreement.

Telegram will be acutely aware, however, that whatever it gives, others will demand too. That may ultimately limit Telegram’s response, whatever it may be, whenever it arrives – if it even arrives at all.

For me: Wezterm. It does pretty much everything. I don't think Alacritty/Kitty etc. offer anything over it for my usage, and the developer is a pleasure to engage with.

Second place is Konsole -- it does a lot, is easy to configure, and obviously integrates nicely with KDE apps.

Honorable mention is Extraterm, which has been working on cool features for a long time, and is now Qt based.

Apparently it goes toward sending customers "Liberal Moron" shirts instead of their requested designs, and also illegally underpaying employees. So... I doubt it.

Absolutely unaccountable. Is that different where you are?

A good live recovery distro that can mount bcachefs is one thing I've been waiting for before using that filesystem for a new install.

That this will have Arch tools (including arch-chroot, probably) makes this even better.

Since you ask (why not?), check the current top comment. I didn't know about it until today.

It's unmatched for some of the things it does and sites it supports, but I think it's a nightmare for any distro or package maintainer. It wants to manage its own installation and updates, at the user level, pulling in who knows what code or binaries.

I think that makes it mechanically hard to handle, verify, or trust.

Woohoo! You didn't even mention: code blocks no longer mangle ampersands and less-than symbols!

• Is there any way to force it to be recognized as a specific programming language?
• What library does it use? I'd like to see which langs are supported.
• Might it become possible to have it use our system/browser-preferred mono font?

Anyway it looks great and is a much appreciated feature, thank you!

Is the idea to have the window open while reducing noise? Otherwise, wouldn't it make more sense to replace the window glass?

On the off chance that you truly don't understand:

The nice thing to do would be to accept the feedback and add a short description. It's confusing to others why you are staunchly opposed to performing that small courtesy, and instead jump to never posting here again.

It is possible to argue with a dollar.

Material Files?

The Power and Battery widget now responds to middle-clicks and scrolls: middle-click will block or re-enable automatic sleep and screen locking, and scrolling will change the active power profile

Scrolling on the battery applet is how I adjust my brightness. Is that no longer a thing?

APK/Alpine is great! And the Edge repos are well stocked.

Chimera Linux seems to be using even newer apktools than Alpine, not sure what the deal with that is. But that distro is still in early stages with limited repos for now.

Pacman/makepkg/Arch is great too, and an obvious consideration for your usage, curiously omitted from your post.

Not quite a god but

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx

In Greek tradition, the sphinx is a treacherous and merciless being with the head of a woman, the haunches of a lion, and the wings of a bird. According to Greek myth, she challenges those who encounter her to answer a riddle, and kills and eats them when they fail to do so.

The word sphinx comes from the Greek Σφίγξ, associated by folk etymology with the verb σφίγγω (sphíngō), meaning "to squeeze", "to tighten up".

I have trouble with both, but more experience with GIMP. I can't stand all the little tool buttons with no text. I want the name of each tool always visible on its button.

I have the same problem with Inkscape.
