This one in particular I am against. (it's not like it's possible in rust anyway)

A semi-rolling distribution, with access to Ubuntu's many PPA's, and easily removable extensions that reveal the lovely vanilla Gnome experience, it's great!

Also they are making a Rust desktop, which I am currently running, though not daily driving.

Agreed, and upvoted.

It has a long-lasting C coding standard, they call it the standard since it was the only language anyway. Then, they made a newly conceived Rust standards, which ignore everything the original standard stood for. (Note the strong language in the post's first quote, it's from the original standard)

having five times more work to use tabs for indentations and spaces for alignment and thus having to use visual whitespace of some kind.

Excuse me. What does that mean? (also see my reply to 1rre)

The kernel had a consistent style before rust was even an idea! Who do you think has started this inconsistency? (Maybe not, what does someone like me know about the kernel anyway)

My emotions just stopped, so I can now think straight.

There are really only 2 changes that - in my eyes - should be made:

• 8 space-long, hard tabs.
• 80 character limit instead of 100.

I don't think a tool like rustfmt can affect most of the original guidelines, and it's generally compatible with the OG style by default.

Edit: I - surprisingly - never actually used rustfmt, so I will go now and test before I say something stupid.

Edit II: I just found this on their repo:

Rustfmt is designed to be very configurable.

Edit III: I tested rustfmt with:

hard_tabs = true

max_width = 80

It's great!

That's what I hear Pop people say.

Flatpaks never worked for me though, last I tried was 38.

Also didn't something happen in relation to some encoding?

Pop!_OS would be my recommendation, semi-rolling for sweet driver updates, Ubuntu based for easy searching (how to do x on Ubuntu) and Large software support.

I just remembered that Pop!_OS doesn't ship with vanilla gnome, sadly, which degrades its position as a recommendation.

w-what... 2 days was a looong time of not watching news, apparently.

What happened?

English people on their way to ruin the meaning of every word.

Regarding internal use, if all the users of a piece of software can access the source code by asking to access it, then it's open source, according to GNU.
