I remember not compiling the root filesystem in the kernel on my first Gentoo install, and being surprised it couldn't mount root at boot.

I switched to sway from i3 about 5 years ago. It's easier to configure (no /etc/X11 nonsense) and it fixed my screen tearing issue. I'm not much of a gamer, so can't comment on that. Supertuxkart and browser games work fine.

It's great. As a Gentoo user I still use it quite often. It helps that Arch has a far larger userbase, so its wiki is a lot bigger. (It also helps the Arch wiki didn't lose everything 15-ish years ago due to a server hard drive failure)

I don't understand all these daylight savings memes. Over here it's on the last Sunday of March. Is it different in the Americas?

Our software is officially supported on Windows and Linux. For some reason our chief product uses a Mac, so we support that unofficially. It can be quite a hassle to keep our code compatible on those platforms and Build Bot often gets angry when I open a pull request, but boy is it nice to be able to use whatever OS I like for development!

And over here the state-funded media is getting less money every year because our right-wing parties don't like it.

Using an LLM is quite fast, especially if it's optimised to run on normal hardware

Why isn't there any competition in the printer space except for Brother? Are printers really that hard to make?
