    Gentoo is surprisingly reliable as personal system. I like how you'd be able to customize stuff compile stuff, making it leaner than most setups.

    I've heard a lot of good things about SuSE, but it's mostly from the community and not the enterprise side of things. I've never seen enterprise setup with SuSE, whereas the three I mentioned earlier I've seen all the time.

    As a Gentoo user:

    If setup correctly, absolutely.

    Otherwise, it's a nightmare.

    I'd say in most case, you'd want to pick something simple to get you up and running, as well as to set a baseline.

    If it's work related, I wouldn't go anywhere near anything that isn't based on Debian, Ubuntu, or Red Hat.

    Some languages may have ambiguous translation for these two words. I wonder if it's the case with Germany.

    Not a lawyer

    Should be fair use under most circumstances.

    However, with online multiplayer, you'd be at the mercy of whoever's running the server, and usually they'd hate bots in any way and form.

    I'm not trying to start a war here, just wondering what your takes are. They pretty much have the same concept of lightweight desktop, but with different toolkits. I'm a KDE person myself, but I've had experience with XFCE. I've tried LXQt in the past but never really gotten into it, perhaps the timing was just not right.

    Do we have a default application for Note? I know it sounds mundane, but we have calculator, sound recorder, music player, even web browser. It just seems a bit strange we don't have a basic plain-text note application. I usually use Markor. I have no complaint overall except that it would stick out like sore thumb on my front screen due to it not having the themed icon. Devs & fellow users, what do y'all think?

    Hello devs! Just a little input from me: when we're showing specific comment (like from profile or from inbox), it would be nicer to be able to show just the parent comment for context, instead of showing the whole thing (only to have the user look for it).
