There’s no way in hell 2007 was 18 years ago.
There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

Debian’s build still depends on an xserver.
Then either they changed that, or I didn’t understand it right, while I was using it.
Probably the latter.
That being said, my other frustration was a lack of easily discoverable in-depth documentation.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if I was just too dumb to find that, too.
I meant not being able to rummage around in /etc .
Since it is read-only, you always have to copy a config file into your home/user/.config/… before you can edit it.
You’re such a heartless bastard, depriving those poor foxes in the forest of their food, by sheltering it.
It was hyperbole. I used Silverblue for a bit trying to avoid layering packages entirely.
But not being able to simply install CLI system tools I’m used to (like btop) or rummaging around in /etc felt really limiting. I realize that’s on me, cause these distros work differently.
Then staying with Windows forever, no matter how shit it’s become and how much it’s changed even compared to just 2 years ago, is the only option.
Fedora Silverblue is basically Android.
You click on apps in a software store to install, it updates itself (without you noticing) on reboot, the terminal is entirely optional and almost entirely useless.
Yes. It’s the only package on my system that still depends on X. Without it, I could remove X entirely.
Yeah OK, but back then, an office suite was like 500 LOC.
Repeat after me:
“You do not support a project or its dev in any way by just using the software you got for free.”
In fact, unless you donate, advertize or contribute to the project, you’re a net drain on its resources.
Some feedback on your website.
It’s bad. Sorry to be blunt.
I don’t even know where to begin.
Links are only identifyable by being underlined. But then you have underlined text on the front page which isn’t a link.
All links point to the author. subdomain, from where there is no way back!
Except for one link that opens my e-mail program without any hint that it’ll do that.
Oh, and another one that leads to https://quickpoint.me/quickpoint/animations/PAGE/1 . Fail.
Most of the links leave you guessing what happens when you click them – which in this day and age means, they’ll remain unclicked.
The color choice is … interesting.
The entire site is actually illegal in very many countries outside of the US, cause it advertises a service but includes absolutely no info about what company or organisation I actually send my data to when I sign up. For the same reason, you are currently violating the GDPR cause you don’t blacklist visits from within the EU. Yes, that law applies even if you’re in the US.
And after clicking every link, I still have no idea what your software even is.
I use vim cause it lets me stay on the home row with my fingers and it flies when you’re used to it.
So I use vim-wiki cause it lets me switch between coding, notes and my todo list without leaving vim, the terminal, it taking my fingers off the keyboard.
Just a friendly hint: If you plan on making this a commercial product and earning money with it, be aware that the people here are a tiny niche, and probably not the type of people who will pay money for software as a service.
I’ll just leave this here:

I wouldn’t use your tool since it seems to be for note-taking, and the website is already overloaded with design and animations, so I’ve bounced off assuming your tool will likely be online and possibly using AI as well. I write notes in a text editor, which creates text files in the KB size range, which I can sync and edit anywhere.
KDE 4?
What is this, Judy Garland Linux?
No, the customer wants a button that does a very specific thing.
He can’t tell you what that is, though. You’re the expert!
Also, can you put in more ads? And make it so the users can’t close the tab until they bought something.
Mark my words, X11 will still be around as an option 10 years from now.
Linux Mint, probably the most popular distro, doesn’t even support Wayland in its default configuration, yet.
Is there a FUN distro?
I used to love Slackware, cause it was completely different from all modern distros and I thought it didn’t take itself too seriously.
Boy was I wrong when I peaked behind the curtain.
But are there others that are kinda made with a smile and a wink?
I was looking at Puppy and RebeccaBlackOS. but am open to suggestions.
WTF can you link this?
