If we can believe random strangers in the internet, then Linus uses a self maintained lighter version of Emacs, or has. Looks like Linus is an Emacs guy.
I’m here to stay.

You can’t improve and break silence without discussing and making changes. The existing maintainers won’t live forever, having Rust in the Kernel is a bet on the future. Linus wouldn’t have adopted and accepted Rust, if he wasn’t thinking its worth it. And looks like it was already worth it.
Reminds me of what happened with PopOS. I did not expect this to happen with Debian. I’m glad you figured something out and have a working system again! Maybe we really need Atomic style distributions for stable environments.

That linked reply doesn’t explain anything. It just says “bro trust him”. Just because you and the AUR maintainer says its trustful, does not make it clear whats behind the binary blobs. It doesn’t matter what anyone says, if we can’t verify. In my opinion, its absurd calling others absurd for not trusting the word of others.
I used Ventoy (its still on my USB stick). Its actually a pretty cool concept. Normally without Ventoy, you would flash your Linux distribution on the USB stick. And then you can boot from it, right?
Ventoy instead allows you to have a folder where you put an ISO without flashing it, and then you can boot from it by selecting in the menu. You just need to flash Ventoy once, as the base system, then you can put as many ISO files into that directory. I tested it and have 7 different Linux distributions (ranging from 1 GB to 4 GB variants) on the same USB stick, and I can boot any of them without flashing again. Replacing ISO is extremely easy, just delete it and copy a new one. Filenames does not matter, anything can be found.
I was just correcting your initial 100k estimation of Mastodon accounts. That’s all. No need to get cocky.
Even if your numbers are true. Mastodon has existed for 7 years. Bluesky for less than one.
That doesn’t matter, because most users just came in the last year. Just shortly after Mastodon begun to explode in 2023 from 2 million to over 10 (and now seemingly over 15 million) registrations, Bluesky came in. So the 7 years comparison doesn’t matter here.
So logically the precentage of users to active users should be much higher on Bluesky.
Probably, but without statistics its just our gut feeling. And as you saw a few minutes ago, your gut feeling can be drastically wrong. My point was not here to race count Mastodon vs Bluesky, but to point your estimation of Mastodon accounts being vastly underestimated.
According to Wikipedia Bluesky has 10 million users and 5 million monthly active: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky That would be about what Mastodon has, if we believe those numbers. My point is, you totally over estimate Bluesky and underestimate Mastodon. The exact numbers does not matter here, what matters is my point that the user base is split into these two worlds.
I don’t know where you got that number from, but at least these statistics say Mastodon got 9 million users (but not all are active off course, same should be true for BlueSky): https://mastodon-analytics.com/ And this account claims 15 million: https://mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount and a Wikipedia article says “On 19 March 2023, Mastodon passed the ten million mark for registered user accounts”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(social_network)#2022_Twitter-related_spikes_in_adoption
Now, I do not claim these numbers to be correct. But compared to your estimation its vastly different.
Edit: Just for context of my reply, as you edited yours. You said you don’t believe Mastodon would even have 100 thousand users.
There was lot of people recommending BlueSky over Fediverse, when the big hype happened. The biggest problem to me is, that this split up the user base considerably. Which in turn weakened its potential for both platforms to overtake Twitter.
Just under us: If you want so, we took Twitter over. It’s renamed to X. :-p …, nah, just joking, it’s still Twitter.
At least Bluesky is decentralized and Open Source, isn’t it? While this is a conceptual step down from Fediverse, it’s still better than all the other alternatives in use. I don’t know how much the Bluesky company controls the entire platform, if its even possible.

pcloud
I’m not much of a Cloud Drive user, but experimented with pcloud. It has a CLI tool and the ability to show up in the local filesystem, so you can browse through with your graphical filemanager: https://www.pcloud.com/download-free-online-cloud-file-storage.html
Free Tier
I only used the Free Tier without time limitation. Just logged in to the web client in browser to see if my files are still there, and I still have my files uploaded 2 years ago. I think Free Tier starts with 1 GB of free space and you can unlock more and more if you do some tasks like installing the CLI tool and such (I have 5 GB of space without time limtations). And the files are stored in European servers; not sure if I had a choice at account creation time or if this is tied to the location where I am.
If you want more space, you can either pay annually or a one time payment for lifetime access (500gb for 200 Euros, 2 TB for 400 Euros…).
Thanks. Is this suggestion towards this ?

Oh, you was talking about resizing. I see. Yes, Btree does not allow resizing. Trying so will snap window back to position, just as you were saying. When I read “drag”, I thought you meant placing the window. The default “Tile” or “Quarter” could be used instead if window resizing is a requirement. But off course they do not function exactly like Btree.
Krohnkite
In krohnkite I can’t use btree while also keeping the tiling part. If I drag a tile while in btree in krohnkite they just snap back to their previous position.
I use a 3 different layouts, one of them Btree. And drag and drop one window over the other will swap position of both windows. So functionally, it is working (for me) and maybe another plugin or configuration in Plasma is in the way?
Polonium
Closing all windows and relaunching them is from users perspective actually not too different from logging out and in again, at least from my view. From time to time I’m looking at the source in Github to see what the recent advancements are. But it seems development is on halt at the moment, with only minor changes over longer period of time.
On KDEs side I saw some update notes specifically mentioning fixes for Polonium, which is a good sign. My hope is that development of Polonium will take off soon.

I would try a few Plasma based tiling scripts before switching to anything like Sway or i3.
Agreed. I used tiling window managers for years before coming back to Plasma. Right now on Wayland I highly recommend giving Krohnkite a shot, its stable without any problems and has even multiple layouts to choose (and switch) from. I used Polonum before, but that one is not stable and was problematic. Krohnkite plugin (can be found in KWin Scripts > Get New… > then search for “krohnkite”, by anametologin) is pretty good in my opinion.
The only problem with these plugins is, that they are not well documented as a standalone tiling window manager and cannot be configured as deeply. And they might interfere with other plugins or shortcut setups and so on. I knew what I wanted and I knew how to configure stuff, that’s why its easy for me. At least it can be easily disabled without replacing entire desktop environment.
Little tip: One thing to mention, unlike Polonium, with Krohnkite one does not need to logout and login from current user session whenever settings are changed. It’s enough to disable Krohnkite in KWin Scripts, Apply, then enable and Apply again. This is basically a reload of the plugin to take any changed settings in effect.
No. That does not mean they have to program in both languages. If the programmer only understand one language (which would be a shame), then they only need to program in their field. This increases the talent base, not reduces it. C programmers do not need to be a Rust expert, so what in the world are you saying there? They just need to cooperate!
