Meanwhile Nim:

echo "I am still worthy"
let a = r"I hate the ugly '\' at the end of " &
         "multiline statements"
for x in 0..9:
  if x == 6: echo x

echo x # this is error in Nim, but not in python. Insane!
assert false + 1 # this is an error (python devs in shambles)
assert true - 1 # see above

Thanks for coming to my Ted-talk.

Ubuntu: ๐Ÿ˜ฎwhy?

For a lot of people Ubuntu is the linux. Canonical is just good at marketing. For all it worth, Ubuntu is not the bad choice for average user who's not into ricing and not bothered by bloat.

Manjaro: havenโ€™t you managed to kill it yet?

I've been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.

Mint: ex windows guy?

Aren't we all?

The most stable rolling distro.

What assistant? I've never had any annoying popups.
Is it not available for android 11?

Or it could be because I've had "Google" app disabled for the past 3 years.

Then you just wait until somebody enters in.
When the person opens the door you run to them and yell "wait wait wait" while frantically gesturing. After you enter - say quick "thank you" and disappear.

Zip is fine (I prefer 7z), until you want to preserve attributes like ownership and read/write/execute rights.

Some zip programs support saving unix attributes, other - do not. So when you download a zip file from the internet - it's always a gamble.
Tar + gzip/bz2/xz is more Linux-friendly in that regard.

Also, zip compresses each file separately and then collects all of them in one archive.
Tar collects all the files first, then you compress the tarball into an archive, which is more efficient and produces smaller size.

To be fair, it's also missing open_dialog_file, dialog_open_file and most crucially file_open_dialog

mod+shift+q so you wouldn't close hours of work by accident (e.g. when typing other mod+_ keybinds)

Half of the linux ecosystem is personal projects.
Linux itself started as

just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu

It's not useless as you can learn from it.

Almost. It doesn't try to solve all the problems, though. I'd say it's a passion project like Haiku and TempleOS.

From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous "linux from scratch" and started to shape his own distro.

 

Probably a long way from being daily-driven, but I really love the idea.
