I completely agree that business ghouls doing business ghoul things make studios make worse games... doesn't really affect my point though... studios are not making games based on a "bar" set by the consumers as described in the original post....

They are part of the studios.... point was "the bar" is "fun/interesting". The vast majority of people that purchase games don't have a bar as defined by the comment I originally replied to.
Studios can make whatever they want. People aren't putting in orders.
I never used npp as my code editor but as a secondary program that i kept notes in and would paste text in to manipulate then move back into code editor. It had a rich plugin ecosystem way before that was common. I use Kate for those purposes instead now

I think rust has good ideas and may even become the default systems language in the mid-term. I find it irritating that there is a very vocal subset of rust proponents that tend to insist that every project in every language needs to be rewritten in rust immediately. I suspect that is also why other people are down on rust.
Why would it involve re encoding?
To my knowledge upgrading to the newer release of any of those linux distros was not blocked by having only slightly old and perfectly serviceable hardware.
