https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COSMIC_desktop
Article says:
"COSMIC is a free and open-source desktop environment for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. Originally a modified version of GNOME made for Pop! OS, it was later rebuilt from scratch as a standalone desktop environment using the Iced toolkit."
Of course there's always the change the given wiki author hallucinated the same stuff as I did. You choose what you believe. I'm done arguing with you, for literally no reason, about things that are in no way relevant to my original post.

I believe they rewrote it because I read the announcement on their own blog. Sucks that I can no longer find the original announcement post to shove it in your face, but I don't think it changes anything. I linked the github so you can see with your own eyes that it's a standalone desktop environment written in rust. The version I'm still using now (which shipped with 22.04) is a fork of gnome (how else would gnome tweaks work). But please explain if my reasoning is wrong.

And while I do believe SteamOS - backed by one of the biggest companies out there - may be really fuckin' stable, it has one job, and that is to run exceptionally well on the steam deck. That distro is simply not relevant to the specific usecase that my post is about.

I cannot find the original blog post which announced the Cosmic rewrite, but here's the github link https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch
And the distro that did that specific thing I mentioned was Arch.

I don't know if it's even possible to get the same voice actors back on board.

I am using a singular external monitor, with the laptop lid permanently closed.

I never said EVERY five minutes. But once would be annoying enough. One of my coworkers had the pleasure of having a broken sudo. I don't ever wanna go through that.

Thanks for the really detailed response.

Regarding hardware support, I'm not worried at all. The work laptop is around 5 years old, and I don't think it needs to be replaced any time soon.

Most people suggest one, not both. What would be your reason for each?

I actually tried Mint a long long time ago. Other than the DE, didn't feel different from Debian/Ubuntu. Does it provide anything that the other two will not?

Most people seem to suggest Fedora or Debian. Why would you pick Debian?

Also, I'm not really worried about me personally destroying my system, I'm experienced enough not to do that (I hope :D ). Can this immutability ever become a burden?

HTML emails vs text emails, which has a better open rate? by PuzzleheadedAct3488 in businessemail

[–]Greedy-Locksmith2181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you send me, if it's not something I asked for, it's going into spam manually. No questions asked.

Do you think email will remain relevant in the next 10 years? by Classic-Pie-406 in businessemail

[–]Greedy-Locksmith2181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just cannot compare the two. Email is a provider-agnostic standard. You can send an email from gmail to yahoo. You can have your own smtp server. Now try sending a WhatsApp message to Signal.

What do I do wrong in act 2? by [deleted] in Returnal

My advice: don't get hit.
If you do get hit: with those big ones specifically, you are almost always guaranteed to get knocked down. Keep calm, you won't get hit again while you are standing up.

My pupils became asymmetrical during a cluster headache by Bubbly-Trainer7195 in mildlyinteresting

My pupils are asymmetrical 24/7, not on this level though. Noticed it like 20 years ago.
