  • It’s been great almost since I started using it.

    I started using it exactly when 4.0 came out, because that’s when I started using Linux and I thought learning 3 didn’t make sense. But 4 only got stable around 4.4 I think. The problem was that 4.0 wasn’t intended to be for end users yet, but distributions didn’t realize that and packaged it right away.

    KDE didn’t repeat that mistake. 5.0 was almost completely smooth sailing (some applications took a long time to port and looked ugly, that’s it), and 6.0 was completely seamless.







  • Python is just glorified shell scripting

    Absolutely not, python is an actual programming language with sane error handling and arbitrarily nestable data structures.

    I don’t like the indentation crap

    Don’t be so superficial. When learning something, go with the flow and try to work with the design choices, not against them.

    Python simply writes a bit differently: you do e.g. more function definitions and list comprehensions.
