   Agreed. I use vi and nano (light scripting) and nothing else. There are so many cool things that vi can do, but most here know this. I don't want my hand held when I'm writing lines of code. I cut my teeth under an old grey beard

   I use the software I do for many reasons. One of these reasons is that I dislike Microsoft and their business practices. I don't want to deal with them on any level, and for RPi to assume this low barrier to entry is welcome assumes ma

   Agreed. Most DEs are well designed and work well enough. I just don't like busy UIs. I am now on Gnome on Pop!_OS because the latest Gnome, at least on Pop, seems to stay out of my way. On Fedora or other, there are so many errors that

   Agreed. Pop is the distro to beat for daily use for me at least. I've been using Linux as a daily driver since 1998 and until Pop, the only thing I felt comfortable with was Window Maker.
