"Because I can" is a perfectly viable reason. Messing around and doing ridiculous things is one of the best ways to learn.

Fewer steps than yours, but I'll claim this as a win in the "purity" field where you have to stop at the first layer where you can run a Windows app.

Linux on a RISC-V device -> container -> qemu-user + binfmt -> x86 VM software -> FreeBSD -> Linux binary compatibility -> Wine -> Windows app

Some people use plasma because they like how configurable it is. I do like that, but I'm also drawn to it because of its great defaults.

The main ways I change it are setting my background (on my work activity I have it selecting from various company related backgrounds while on my personal activity it uses a selection of my favourites of my own photos) and adjusting the bottom panel.

  • I have bash scripts light and dark that make dbus calls to set my global theme to light or dark mode. I switch between them regularly, and opening system settings and pressing a button is too inconvenient.

Your first one sounds similar to me though - I use activity-aware Firefox to separate my personal and work accounts on my personal and work plasma activities.

Honestly, if it can generate subtitle files it'll be a huge benefit to people creating subtitles. It's way easier to start with bad subs and fix them than it is to write from scratch.

Well i still can't get the dock that came with it to output to multiple 4k monitors (even though it's supposed to be able to), so...

Does it still require Python 2 or did the author finally relent on that?

I was going to say... I've had a cable with that logo on it for over a year.

I have my own problems with them, but off the top of my head I think the following tech companies all do better than Apple: Red Hat, Canonical, Framework, Purism, System76, Fairphone.

jq and yq are both things I install on pretty much every machine I have.
