100% this. Much more readable than JSON, YAML or other custom formats.

For casual users that only need a web browser, a mail client and an office suite, Linux is a great replacement for Windows.

How is Snap's sandbox better than Flatpak's?
I use both GNOME and Plasma and various apps from their ecosystems. When using Plasma, GNOME apps look out of place, as they hardcode their Adwaita theme, but they don't suffer from contrast issues and are perfectly usable. When using KDE apps on GNOME on the other hand, the contrast is terrible, the apps look very ugly and are barely usable to the point I wish they hardcoded their Breeze theme so they would work as well as they do on Plasma. I wish KDE apps were more resilient when it comes to theming, so they wouldn't break completely when installed on the "wrong" desktop.

It should be the parents' job to regulate what kind of content their children consume on the internet, not the government's.

No browser will ever tick ALL your boxes.
Why not? Is it that hard to NOT include bloatware in your browser and respect XDG Base Directory? As for content blocking, the code is already there because extensions make use of it, just integrate it into the browser UI and use uBlock Origin's block lists.

Web browsers handle the most sensitive information about a user, so I would never trust a proprietary browser.

And I'd have to do that manually for every computer on which I install the browser. I can't just tell someone to install a browser and use it as is, there are always several additional steps required after install to have a decent experience. This is especially a problem for people who are not tech savvy.

Oh no, the sun is hot! It is normal to have variations in temperature from year to year.
I feel like there is no web browser with a sane default configuration that I can recommend to other people. All browsers are preconfigured in a way that harms the privacy of their users or include services that no one wants such as Pocket and BAT. Here are my problems with some popular browsers. - Mozilla Firefox: Pocket integration, no ad-blocking without extensions. - Brave: Everything related to crypto. Also its start page is horrible. - Chromium: No ad-blocking without extensions and soon Manifest v3 will cripple all content blockers. Now, these suboptimal defaults wouldn't be such a big problem if the configuration files were easy to backup and restore and respected the XDG base directory specification.

I like Iosevka for programming and terminal.
Do you prefer to use UI frameworks which make a distinction between UI files and application code (e.g. Qt, GTK, Angular) or do you prefer to define the UI in the application code (e.g. Flutter, Jetpack Compose, React)?

I wonder why they chose this weird nonstandard config format instead of something like TOML

Yes, but frequently used dependencies can be extracted into runtimes which can be shared by many applications.

I mostly program in Rust and my main editor is VSCodium with the NeoVim extension but lately I've been experimenting with Alacritty + Tmux + Helix and I'm starting to like it quite a bit.
Personally, I'm looking forward to native Wayland support for Wine and KDE's port to Qt 6.
I used to use Sway and I found tiling to be useful only when using multiple terminals. Tmux allows me to have tiling functionalities for terminals while having a full desktop environment for all other applications.
