They don’t just decide to remove a driver on a whim, there’s a whole process which involves reaching out to the original maintainers and seeing if anyone else wants to take it on among other things. Internet search is so poor these days, I can’t find the information on it.

As the kernel moves on changes could be introduced that make them difficult to compile with the new kernel. Unmaintained doesn’t only mean not adding new features, it means keeping up with the rest of the code.

The definitive guide to selinux.

When I switched, about 23 years ago, I missed Moray - the modeller for POVRay.

Keepassxc remembers for me.

I thought it was open but I could be wrong looking at their website it says the code is available on github

Onlyoffice is said to have better compatibility with MS Office so that may be worth a try.

Imagine, if you will, a whole open plan office full of them…

I wouldn’t like that, no sir, I wouldn’t like that at all!

Too many useful tools on the terminal.

“Think about 720p” or “Also think about 720p” principle.

The problem with that is if only a few people have 720p then the majority suffer for no real reason. The only way to know for sure is hardware surveys. That said, Linux is known for running on older hardware so maybe it should be taken into consideration. The only way to know for sure is hardware surveys, everything else is assumption.

If, like KDE’s, they are opt in, anonymous, allow you to choose how much information to share, and can’t track an individual over time then I think they are a positive and an easy way to contribute back to a project. If they are like the Manjaro proposal, which is none of those things, then they are a negative and should be opted out of.

Developers will develop so it is right for the majority of their users and I guess they are aiming at 1080p which is mid-range at the moment. This is why hardware stats are important. If they’re anonymous then what’s the problem with them?

Your English is fine.

My experience of anything Ubuntu based is that it is buggy as hell. I have no knowledge of Fedora.

KDE doesn’t seem to give you an overall view

What part of

All software beyond a moderate complexity has bugs.

didn’t you understand?

Doesn’t work on my machine is an opinion not an argument. Different people have different expectations and experiences.

Not an excuse tbh.

The thing to do is participate in the beta programs and report any bugs you find, as you’re having so much instability you would be an ideal participant whereas me with my smooth running wouldn’t.

It really isn’t, at least in my experience. And I have an Nvidia card!

All software beyond a moderate complexity has bugs.

KDE Plasma is wonderfully stable if you mean reliable, if you mean unchanging then yeah, it has quite a few changes.

Maybe a play on “This page intentionally left blank” from the IBM manuals

Again it depends on what those repositories do.

EndeavourOS (Arch based) adds a repository which appears to be for their utilities, otherwise they use the Arch repositories. You could probably continue using it with minimal disruption although the utilities would be unmaintained.

Manjaro (also Arch based) uses its own mirrors of the Arch repositories and adds some of its own. If it vanished, it would quickly become out of date and full of security holes. A new install would be necessary.

In either case, I’d do a clean install of Arch because why give yourself the headache.
