Was this supposed to be a joke?

It’s not petty, you don’t know what an IDE is.
I like Budgie. It looks nice, lightweight, and doesn’t get in the way. There’s a few missing features but I like that it’s a smaller community project.
WebOS is such a sad story. It started as a pretty innovative and interesting mobile OS at a time when phone manufacturers bothered to innovate. Then it ended up being owned by the grossest software company ever, HPE, and now it’s a pathetically crappy TV operating system. What is LG even doing?
The Intellij plugin ecosystem is pretty good. Granted my day job is 80% Java/Kotlin but I also need python and ruby and go and the plug-ins have never let me down. I don’t have pycharm or Ruby Mine or Goland installed.
The license also explicitly lets you use your work license for personal stuff or your personal license for work stuff. The only difference is who pays. You also don’t need a license to use the community edition.
It’s also pretty good at CSV and markdown files. I might be biased because I spend probably 60 hours a week using Intellij but I don’t find any of your points against it to be accurate.
This is the way if you never want to feel like anything is windowsy
Nothing really. Kate does a lot of stuff. If you’re not a software developer, it doesn’t really matter. Different text editors have differing levels of support for various programming languages and some people like all the key bindings so they don’t have to take their hands off the mouse.
But if you’re just editing plain text and you’re not a keyboard only kind of user, it doesn’t really matter.
Linux wsl has really come a long way
I’ve used Linux since the 90s and I’ve never installed a flat pack or snap or whatever. They’re not required.
Software defined radios are kinda a stretch. The radio hardware isn’t running Linux. There’s a receiver that converts the signal to digital and then a Linux computer processes the signal. Basically the exact same thing as my computer having a radio receiver plugged in to it but packaged up as a standalone thing. If that counts, my keyboard runs Linux.
You can’t build a gaming mac. Or a mac at all. Apple does seem to have better gaming support than Linux does though. The majority of my steam library has macOS support. Only a couple support Linux.
It seems like a nice one-two punch of Microsoft shitting the bed with Windows 11 at the same time Valve is taking big strides towards making Linux a viable option for gaming. I don’t think you would see this if either happened in isolation.
I switched to Darktable years ago and haven’t missed Lightroom at all. It takes some getting used to but it’s very good.
I have a Thinkpad T400 with Arch on it. It came out in 2008 which I believe is the last year XP got a release. But I’m pretty sure it came with Vista.
It runs like shit with a full desktop environment but with i3, it’s decent. I haven’t used it in a little while because I upgraded to a luxurious T440 recently but I have Intellij and Docker running on it. I can do most of my programming things. It’s definitely good enough for browsing the internet or running Libre Office.
