I make things sometimes. Desktop Linux by day, Mobile Linux by night.
Occasionally I also talk about philosophical/societal things for some reason.

in case fedora drinks too much of the AI kool-aid: what linux distros out there are "easier" (no arches or nixes please), have a decent software library, and keep everything _reasonably_ updated (as in, a step or two below rolling release breaking everything)?

if you don't like what mozilla/firefox is up to, consider throwing a bit of money (or better yet, set up a recurring donation) at servo. you'll help fund a future better option and hopefully not have to deal with your browser developers constantly chasing trends
Servo aims to empower developers with a lightweight, high-performance alternative for embedding web technologies in applications.
Servo is a web rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications.
