Joke’s on you, I use Java for some open-source projects I’m developing in my own free time, and it’s awesome. The type system is really helpful, the standard library is good, the IDEs are top notch, refactoring and debugging is easy, it’s stable and fast.

Maven is great for dependency management and for publishing your own work. Gradle takes some time to learn and I didn’t like it at first, but once it ‘clicked’ I grew to appreciate its flexibility.

Large batteries are a must-have to get anywhere near a comfortable range.

I wonder if larger battery packs fit in small cars. And it would also push the price beyond the level that people expect to pay for smaller cars.

I beg to differ. Fedora Linux worked out of the box on my current Dell laptop, on the previous (Acer) laptop, and the previous pc too (I think it was a Lenovo). No problems whatsoever.

Meanwhile, it took multiple hours to disable the various ads, pulp news, and trackers on the Windows pc that I use for work.

GNOME. I currently use it without any extensions, but sometimes use “Blur my shell” for the visual effect.

GNOME “just works” and looks extremely polished and consistent. It gives the application the maximum amount of screen real estate. The keyboard shortcuts are great. It’s very power-user friendly IMO.

It’s quite a stretch to call the RHEL-clone companies “the Linux Community”.

RedHat developers created large parts of the Linux software ecosystem and are involved in many upstream projects of RHEL. If anyone is part of the community, it’s them.

CTRL-C has been the default key combination to terminate a running process, since forever. Reassigning it to “copy selection” would be very inconvenient.

I like the solution of the ElementaryOS terminal: when you press CTRL-C, it does “the right thing” depending on the context.
