I like the description by a Finn who said: Rust is like a car with automatic, while in C (or Zig) you need to change the gears. In Rust you literally follow the compiler, which allows many young developers to program at low level, while C demands more time to avoid bugs. It is up to each person what he/she prefers. I would prefer to control myself the stuff and learn the in and outs of memory management.

Pcmanfm? Nemo? However, if one does not need a GUI I would suggest ranger, nnn or alike.

Oh, I did not know about the possibility of replacing xfwm4 with i3. I too am using i3 for some years and like a lot to have a clean surface which facilitates focussing on my tasks. However, never thought about integrating it in a DE.

the Linux kernel and its applications are majorly backed and developed by american companies and their employers.

And this is the problem, considering that Linux has been written by Linus Torvalds, a European. The base and the majority of developers should have remained in Europe, but unfortunately a mistake has been done.

You mean switching between the DE xfce and the WM i3wm, right? Yep, this works and it can indeed make life sometimes easier to have a DE and a WM aside each other.

I have went through your text quickly. Very personal sometimes, especially considering the POV, which can pass by as subjective. I also disagree with the idea that human beings are a collective animal, while this is true in the general sense, you have by nature often one that is leading and others that prefer (or not) to follow. Unfortunately, it is question of person and moment when this one tries to take favour of a situation. I think that almost all communities are communities of convenience: you provide something, others need, and in total we all gain - however, the convenience is the leading force. Anyway, I do not want to jump deeper into this, because it gets very philosophical and social - which also means that there are views as many as there are people. But thank you for your effort and thoughts, which you have put in.

Ah, I am soRRy. I am new to Lemmy and have still to learn new things. The link in the title works! Thank you!

I am absolutely with you about i3. Simply great (there is also dwm or qtile)! But it is a WM, not a DE, what OP asked about.

Did you contact TUXEDO Support Centre?

Do you have any link to the paper or it is still a draft? I would like to read the second part about the proposition for Europe or the EU.
