Ah gotcha that makes sense thanks!
That being said I can imagine if KDE didn't have Kate or Konsole or any of that - there's plenty of text editors and Terminals that already exist out there.

So they're building a whole complex text editor just for the desktop environment? seems like a weird priority or is the text editor a separate project?
i gotta join in with the other Linux Mint voices here. It's very user friendly. You just need to know:
- the desktop environment is called Cinnamon. this will help you google stuff.
- the system package manager is called APT, and if you just use the update manager you won't have to interact with it directly, but it's good to know.
- in the software center many apps have the options sytem package or flatpak. system package means it goes through APT, flatpak is a sandbox system that is good for isolating your apps from your system. imo always choose flatpak, except for steam.
This is a huuuge load of crap. Nowhere does this clearly say that CO2 emissions are cut by 80%, just "ultrafine black carbon" which is a pollutant more than a greenhouse gas. Aviations worst impact is by far the greenhouse gases.
The "sustainable fuel" that is so mysteriously alluded to, turns out to be made from "renewable biomass". Plant-basid fuels have been around for a while, usually as a greenwashing stunt by industries that consume a lot of fossil fuels. The amount of farmland needed to produce even a small fraction of what's needed in aviation is astronomical. Approaching 9 billion eaters, we can't afford to make food vs fuel a debate (again).
This whole article reads like it was written by the aviation company that paid for the research in the first place. This isn't science, it's propaganda.
As a "European" I never forget that I can just walk around the corner to buy cake because I don't live in a suburban hellhole where I need a car to get food
Ah I didn't realize COSMIC also comes with its own GUI toolkit but that makes sense, thanks!
