Not so much toggled, but you can break out of it. At that point it just becomes a fedora install with a somewhat different set of defaults.

Nope. I make my code open source so the code is there in case someone finds it useful. I ain't supporting it outside of what I can be bothered to do though. It's open source, you chose to use it, it's on you to support yourself.

A bad company. Because they should be delivering a holistic product. But their hardware side knows their shit at least.

What GPU have you got? My 7900XT works flawlessly.

I think it's a script they added to do some sort of check with rustfmt.

Does GCC support pluggable backends? I feel when something like this comes up, the real answer should be, for those that make sense to drop from the core, it'd make sense to make them pluggable and separate them out, so that those that need them can pick them up if they need.

Can't libre office's calc work with Excel files?

Yeah. I had this problem. I ended up switching out the WiFi module for one with better Linux support. (In my laptop it's just a little m.2 thing).

The simplest and slowest way when you need to use something from the system clipboard:

Copying: Enter visual mode (v) Highlight the text I want to copy then enter in command mode "+y which basically means "Use a register for following command (") make it the external clipboard register (+) and yank/copy (y)"

Pasting Move to where I want to paste then enter in command mode "+p to paste after the current position or "+P to paste before the current position

If I don't need to copy/paste stuff to applications outside of vim, then I can skip the "+ register setting part, and just use the default internal register.

Well, being open minded doesn't mean you won't reject something, just that you won't reject something without mulling it over first. I'm sure their desire to not want to create account is not a flippant remark and a position they arrived at over time.

Another alternative, I've been looking at is radicle. It's private repository stuff is rough, but public repository stuff, much less so. Seems to be early days but I really like what the project is doing.
