What distro ships my favorite term foot?

Let's break up both of their monopolies!

Both of these companies played dirty to get on top, both hide money in tax havens. They both stiffle innovation.

You could also look into using sixel. It's kinda like the kitty protocol but older and terminal agnostic.

If you base your opinion of vim from memes you are missing out. Anyone who can't take 10 minutes to type vimtutor in their terminal is not someone to base an opinion on. These memes come mostly from impatient people that can't read the docs. It's a fantastic text editor.

That being said, it's not meant to be used for written words it's meant to write code and config files. You want to look for a word processor.

Abiword, etherpad, focuswciter are probably the next 3 biggest on Linux behind libre and open office.

Personally I prefer markdown for most things these days but it's not exactly meant for word processing either.

This is the big thing that all these Nvidia comments miss. It's not up to Wayland to support a given GPU. Nvidia is actively hostile to Linux users. If you aren't making money with cuda there are zero reasons to choose Nvidia on a Linux machine over the competition. I've been on Wayland for almost a decade now and there's no way I'm going back to X at this point.

As someone who just started their container adventure by setting up rootless podman on arch, it wasn't terrible but I think I agree. I think I'm going to go check out some vanilla-ass docker until I can understand everything better.

I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell yes. It also seems a bit easier to have a rootless setup.

I did this about a decade ago for my parents. Upgraded their computer last year and they told me they wanted to keep Linux on the new machine.

My dad wasn't convinced until his hoyle card games ran with wine though.
