Nah I definitely was giving stuff up to use Linux back in the day. Really, I'd say 2021 was when things got REALLY good.

You appear to be afraid of spaces. Everything is cramped together.
Just bc you don't have to put a space after colons or after equals and commas and whatnot doesn't mean you shouldn't
Don't be afraid of spaces.
They make it easier for you to read your code when you come back later
Not if you think of forward as "towards you." It comes from Math. X is right, Y is up, and then when doing 3D, Z is out of the page, bc that's easiest to draw.
They just seem kinda hacky and overcomplicated rn.
I was on NixOS for a while, which is sort of in this camp since the system build is deterministic an immutable, and I've had to switch away bc it's just annoying. Apps aren't made for immutability in mind, and sometimes when you (read: your OS) try to force them to, the burden falls on you to maintain it, not just the package maintainer. VS Code is a prime example. Some extensions just don't work right. It's not Nix's fault ofc, but that doesn't make it less impractical to use, so after 2 years away from Arch now, I've had to return.
Other immutable distros face similar issues.
On top of that, specific distros have reasons I wouldn't want to use them. I wouldn't use Bazzite, for instance, bc it is based on Fedora, and I won't use Fedora again. I liked Fedora when I used it, and it has things about it I like, but it has a glaring issue: anywhere it can be non-standard it is non-standard. For apps to run on Fedora there always has to have some weird location for a config file or a different way to install a program or some bug that only occurs on Fedora. Fedora be fedorain. That rules out Bazzite, Silverblue, etc. I call it the "RedHat Tax."
I wouldn't say I'm against an immutable distro tho; I just haven't found one for me yet. For now, BTRFS and backups + Arch are enough
I'm running Linus
Linux without X but with S... ystemd

"I will revise that part to reflect the correct approach."
Proceeds to spit out the exact same output
Don't leave out "nano duckduckgo" and "code brave"
And any project worth their salt will reject it for two reasons:
- Unclear message/changes (potentially too many changes at once)
- Not signed
Yeah, I may just go back to Gnome/KDE.
I recently switched OS from NixOS to Arch which is why I wanted to give Hyprland a second try while I was messing with stuff.
I was on KDE before with not a ton of issue, but well, the tiling options on KDE are few and limited, so I wanted to go back and retry a dedicated tiler. I was on i3 and happy for a long time before switching to Wayland (which happened once I could get decent game performance), then I was on Hyprland for a while, then switched around a bit, and then settled on KDE once I discovered Polonium which I could live with.
I'm gonna give GNOME a shot for now, and just try not to tweak it too much (other than Pop Shell)
I've had this in my .zshrc for a while:
alias $(date +%Y)="echo 'YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP'"If you type the current year in your terminal, it will say "YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP" lol
