What do you mean? You can always use a distro like Steam OS (or any other Linux distro) on any x86 PC and still use a mouse and keyboard. Or use a Steam Deck and plug in a mouse and keyboard.

Tbf I've heard crazier things which have ended up being true in the past week alone...

... until you run into a problem which you can't figure out on your own. Then you search the web, and only find how to do it with Y, instead of the technology you used which is called X. So after determining that you're truly stuck, you switch to Y. Until you get stuck again, you search the web, and can only find how to do it in Z. And everyone online tells you you're stupid to use X or Y in the first place. And the cycle continues.

This is why I gave up on being a web developer and stayed far away from JS.

Matrix bridges are nice until you realize that you have to be a mod in the server to add the bridge, you need to do it not only for every Discord server you want to use on matrix, but every channel as well. It's a huge chore. And ofc it doesn't work with Discord DMs.

Not blaming Matrix or the matrix bridge developers here because it's not their fault. But let's be honest: matrix bridges are a pain to set up for Discord and for a majority of people aren't worth the hassle. Moving to Matrix would be the better choice if at all possible

Just ot make it clear to OP, Stable does NOT nesesarily mean bug free. Just like how most people are on the "stable" branch of Windows 10 or 11,but they still encounter bugs, "stable" Linux distros can also have bugs.

The difference between "stable" and not stable is that: 1.) The system is "stable" in that it's very unlikely to crash. Stable Linux distros are much preferred for servers, for instance. 2.) Any OS related bugs you find will still be there likely until the next big release. (with Debian iirc this is like every 4 years)

Totally agree with basically every point here. You hit the nail on the head. App images are the .exe's of the Linux world and I don't understand how someone can say they love app images but hate Window's portable exe's. Even Windows doesn't have nearly as many portable executable as they once did. And when they do, most people (even those who prefer app images) prefer an exe with a Windows installer.

Anyways, this is all to point out why I avoid app images if at all possible

OpenSuse seems like it would meet your needs. OpenSuse Kalpa might be one to look into since it's immutable and features KDE Plasma

Have you looked into Autojump? It works with bash and zsh and is even faster than using a terminal file manager if you've already visited the directory before

Not just a text file, a markdown file. And markdown has supported images since forever

What's wrong with the built in shortcut of ctrl+alt+t?

Depends on the person. Most of the people I know who use MacOS, use it as a glorified Facebook machine. Outside of perhaps Word, they only use the web browser.
