Keep an eye on niri. It’s a Wayland scrollable tilling WM inspired by PaperWM, but it’s a work in progress. Other than that, nothing that would fit your criteria comes to mind. For example, i3wm might be made to behave the way you’re describing, it would definitely require some hacking.

I know USB-C is more robust than MicroUSB, but that doesn’t feel like it’s good for the connector. I’d much rather have a bit thicker (Apple said they’re getting rid off the jack to make their phones thinner.) or a bit less waterproof phone (not having a massive hole in the phone helps to waterproof it), than to loose the headphone jack.

Same. I can't imagine having to remember to charge my headphones.

I agree on the Deep Roads. I love the æsthetics. Too bad there’s not much reason to go down there without a blight. If the creators focus more on dwarves, maybe we’ll take a look there again.

Thinking about it more, the only thing I would like is for the game to be well written and fully working on launch.

Regolith packages preconfigured i3wm (and now Sway) alongside basic utility apps (file manager, image viewer etc.) and GUI configuration manager. Notifications and similar stuff, which you have set up manually in some window managers, works out of the box. I’d call Regolith a full blown desktop environment. Too bad it’s intertwined with apt so much, so porting it to distributions other than Ubuntu and Debian is complicated.

You realise you’re accusing the mod a of a community solely devoted to appreciating the artistic merit of video games, of not having “good taste”?

Having a bad taste and being a mod is not mutually exclusive. ;)

Much like Tropical Ding Dong, I felt somewhat disappointed the game didn’t do more with its “being a cat” premise, but I wouldn’t call Stray a bad game because of that. Would the story change much, if you weren’t a cat? Not really. Would I enjoy it much less? Yes.

Ubuntu uses their own font family. I think it’s one of the only distributions with its own custom font, but I might be wrong. The Unicode coverage of the Ubuntu font is not very big compared to Google’s Noto font family, which many distributions switched to as default. But it mostly depends on the DE — Gnome uses the Cantarell font, KDE uses the aforementioned Noto font.

Are you giving rpmbuild the correct flags?

I can't imagine writing a whole book in Markdown. I couldn't live without the ability to create my own macros (like I can in TeX). But I digress. Those bad page breaks could perhaps be solved by using the nowidow (or any similar) package. If that doesn't work, manually put \pagebreak or \newpage before the offending lines.

Keep up the good work! :-)

At least sed works with Unicode. Some core utilities do not (looking at you, tr).

I very much enjoyed Command line text processing with Coreutils. It helped me when I was writing my thesis, which basically consisted of several (quite long) pipelines. It would have been quite helpful if I’d known awk, so I’ll check this book out!

The web version looks very nice, but the PDF version feels a bit iffy (maybe a bit cheap?) to me — for example there are some bad pagebreaks (e.g. between pages 9 and 10 or pages 14 and 15). How do you create it? Perhaps you should get more hands-on with the typesetting. (I'm no expert on typography, but it would be a shame if your work was detracted from by the little imperfections that some people are sensitive to.)

They won’t because the Bioware brand still sells.
