Ah, und die Antwort ist wohl: Keine Droge, dicke Kleidung.

Soweit ich das auf Anhieb nachvollziehen kann, scheint das hauptsächlich ein Problem von "Taser trifft das Ziel nicht 'richtig genug'" zu sein. Ganz anderer Mechanismus, aber am Ende der Eskelation die gleiche Shituation. Hab' jetzt auf Anhieb nur was von grob 60% Erfolgsquote/40% Versager bei Taser-Einsätzen gefunden, das ist... um Größenordnungen schlechter, als ich gedacht hätte.
Pfefferspray - OK, kann ich nachvollziehen. Taser - welche Drogen muss ich nehmen, daß der mich nicht mehr beeindruckt, äh, "stoppt"?
I found it kinda weird that the page this link opens on makes it look kinda like a closed source freemium thing, and (on mobile) I had to dig a fair bit to see that it's actually FOSS and an official part of the KDE project.
I run KDE as my daily driver, and hadn't heard of Krita before; so yeah, I guess it could use a bit more exposure.
Which - in my considered opinion - makes them so much worse.
Is it because writing native UI on all current systems I'm aware of is still worse than in the times of NeXTStep with Interface Builder, Objective C, and their class libraries?
And/or is it because it allows (perceived) lower-cost "web developers" to be tasked with "native" client UI?
Well, I'd guess no one would keep you from going "shopping" at the nearest pharmacy.
So... Considering necessary access, it's a quarter step above "cooking a phone in a microwave oven might catch it on fire", IMO.
Might be OT since I never was much of a distro hopper.
Got introduced to Linux with SLS, used RedHat until it became too commercial for my taste. At that time, found gentoo and stuck with it hard. It allows me to have completely custom packages fully integrated with the system package manager, that's the top killer feature for me.
I'd guess about monthly to bimonthly, in the sense of submitting a fix for an issue that affects/concerns me/my use of open source projects.
Thank you for sharing your story!
For your kind of use case and issues, I'd recommend finding someone local with a good amount of Linux experience and do a couple of pair sessions. I find this transports a lot more (especially 'soft') knowledge on concepts and how to do things efficiently. Also, it helps to share frustrations ;-)
Linux does not try to be another Windows. While it's fairly possible to treat it kinda as such especially in newer times, it won't feel efficient or convenient that way, in my experience.
Kinda disappointed in The Register of all things adopting this faux personal life story reporting style on such a matter.

Aware, yes. Interested, no - closed source philosophy, and the way Apple implements it specifically, turn me off hard.
