I have no experience in sysadmin work, but have some understanding of the Linux tools used. Can you eli5 what exactly is it that AD does? (Feel free not to, I just couldn’t find a good article, so decided to ask.)

Omg please kill me 😭

Ah that makes sense. To be fair tho, there’s a lot of unwarranted hate towards Rust so it can be hard to tell.

I hope you’re joking. If anything, Rust makes error handling easier by returning them as values using the Result monad. As someone else pointed out, they literally used unwrap in their code, which basically means “panic if this ever returns error”. You don’t do this unless it’s impossible to handle the error inside the program, or if panicking is the behavior you want due to e.g. security reasons.

Even as an absolute amateur, whenever I post any Rust to the public, the first thing I do is get rid of unwrap as much as possible, unless I intentionally want the application to crash. Even then, I use expect instead of unwrap to have some logging. This is definitely the work of some underpaid intern.

Also, Python is sloooowwww.

KDE is great but do give some “better” distros like Fedora, or EndeavourOS (basically Arch) a try. Canonical, the company in control of Ubuntu, is a little bit shady.

I have a Framework 13 with the super button instead of Windows button, but I’ve set it up similarly to how the Windows buttons works in Windows. Pressing it by itself opens the KDE app menu, super+D goes to desktop, super+L locks screen, super+[ or ] moves around virtual desktops, super+W shows overview, supe+T shows tiles config, super+arrows do snapping, super+PgUp/PgDn/X for maximize/minimize/close etc.

And they have a great community too. I especially like their off-topic threads e.g. the photography and music ones.

I like EndeavourOS because it’s pretty much vanilla Arch, just with a nice installer. (Although we do now have the archinstall script.) After installation, there’s pretty much no difference. Also, I like the logo. I only installed Arch once for the bragging rights lol.
