I’m pretty sure RCS is about as open a standard as WhatsApp. Pretty unlikely to see that any time
Kröhnkite works well. I’m using it with KDE 6 on plasma no issues.
I just tested a bunch of windows and none of them went floating, not sure about manual resizing though.
GNOME and KDE have large philosophical differences and those show when you use them. I really like KDE and the way I can turn it into a tiling window manager.
Comparing a full DE to a WM is a massive difference. DEs have batteries included, you don’t need to worry about which notification daemon to use, which tool can do power management or what renders your task bar. You just get every tool and it works.
I used to use i3, then migrated to sway, but the finding of tools that do X or Y got annoying after a while. In KDE everything just works together with no or minimal configuration and I get more features more easily.

Arguably still an organisation & governance issue, but this doesn’t sound great for that dude

Sound like the typical “newish and relatively small project that hasn’t figured out their organisational structure yet” problem
Arch if you want to do the install completely by yourself and/or have some setup that can’t be replicated by the usual installers.
EndeavourOS/Cachy if you want a simple GUI installer for Arch, but you don’t get bragging rights.
Don’t use Manjaro

The publishers aren’t indie, but they publish lots of indie games. Assuming you define indie as not big established studio instead of how they are published.

I’m always annoyed at the “AirDrop alternative” marketing. It’s not. It requires both of your devices to share a network.
The truest AirDrop alternative that uses discovery and ad-hoc connections between devices is FlyingCarpet. It definitely needs a simpler UI though.

I have a few qualms with this app:
1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.
Maybe that’s a hot take, but OnePlus fell off after the 3t. Every later phone was just a high-midrange phone with a high-midrange price.
The 3(t) had a great custom rom, kernel, etc community.
I think PWM fans need 12V all the time. Maybe you have a cheap 3-pin fan, then you can just give it 5V. It’ll run slower, but you probably don’t need full power.
You could get a cheap boost convert to up 5V to 12V if you want the Pi to power it.

Oo, I’ll have to watch that then. Didn’t really stand out to me in the first pass.
