I don't have figures on how many people actually use GIMP, but I'm guessing a lot more than the number of people griping about its usability online.

So close...! 😂

Exciting! Hoping the RC process is short for this version 🤞🤞🤞

No, it's only code and pixels 🙂

That's fair. But we do not know the specifics of that parallel universe Boimler's face fur:

  • How long has it been growing?
  • Did he fall into the raisin fertiliser as a teen, prompting an uncanny beard growth?
  • Might he even be part Tribble (on his mother's side)?
  • Or is it simply a Captain's Chair-worthy toupee? I'm betting on the toupee, and so is Shatner.

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks!

Judging by the amount of facial hair growth Boimler’s exhibited over the course of the three episodes this season, we can assume that so far the entire season has taken place over about 17 hours.

Now now, let's not be normative about the speed of facial hair growth. Some people take longer filling in their mustache and beards than others, and this could easily be something like 17 days if Boimler has particularly slow and/or sparse facial hair.

Harsh, but true.

Focus instead on enforcing standards’ compliance

For sure, but ¿por qué no los dos?

Completely agree with your other prioritisations.

I don't think anybody would say otherwise. Both Manjaro and Endeavour mean to make Arch more appealing to users who aren't comfortable with command line configuration.

Endeavour has arguably done better than Manjaro, but yeah. They're just some configs on top of a system that does very well on its own.

It would make so much more sense to fund existing Linux development than making a new distro, tbh.

If the EU changed to Linux systems and donated the same amount back to open source development as they currently pay for Microsoft licenses, that would make a hell of a difference.

Exactly, for the pencil pushers it's going to be a transition from one desktop and office suite to another. Hardly "learning Linux".

I see more of a challenge on sys admins and department IT support who may have gotten comfy giving mostly Microsoft product support.
