The first of three texts about Dylan as a literary figure, about reasons for being right or wrong, and about prose music
One of the first wow-moments when I first installed linux (2003ish) was Enlightenment. I though it was very pretty, and quite different from the mainstream WMs. It was presented as a feature, not a bug, that development was slow: the people behind it wanted to take the time it took to get it right.
So I waited. I always installed it on new computers, but it never seemed quite ready to use.
I did the same today, and the feeling is the same as in 2003: it's not quite there yet.
Hence the question: does anyone actually use it as their everyday WM?
Is KDE particularly sensitive to updates in the background? It frequently happens to me that the session crashes during or after a pacman -Syu update. This never happened while I was using cinnamon
I'm currently using Klipper, and it's fine, I suppose, but I miss the ability to cycle through the previous clips with simple keypresses, like in the emacs killring (the only thing I miss from my very brief experimentation with emacs back in the day).

Regjeringspartiene har mager oppslutning blant landets høyest utdannede. Kun én prosent støtter opp om politikken til deres egen statsråd, forsknings- og høyere utdanningsminister Ola Borten Moe (Sp). MDG suser derimot fram som landets tredje største parti. – Dagens statsråd synes å tro at kunnskap er en utgift. Vi mener at kunnskap er et mål i seg selv, sier MDG-leder Arild Hermstad.

That this will just be looking like a ghost town with just the welcome message and nothing else.
So here goes: I haven't followed the discussions – if any – at r/bobdylan about the blackout. There was no discussion, was there? (otherwise I would have expected to see a refugee or two over here.)
Just wondering: how would you characterize the general feel of the different nvim flavours: LazyVim, Chad, Astro, etc.? I'm not thinking functionality, which plugins are included, etc., but the way they feel when one uses them.
I tried out a whole bunch of them, as per Elijah Manor's excellent video about config switching (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkHjJlSgKZY)
I figured out LazyVim is trying its best not to look and feel like vim, with modal windows and fancy graphics and all. I didn't like that. I can't remember why I left Astro behind, but I finally settled on Chad, which at first I disliked because of the name, but eventually I figured out that that was the flavour for me: so many things just worked as expected, and there were so many times when I looked up something, and went: "Hm! That was quite smart, actually!"
So that's where I'm at – and purely for "feel" reasons. So: convince me: what am I missing when I don't use bundle B or config C?
How do you manage your trees? Myself, I use webtrees. The interface may be a bit "old" and the handling of media in particular could have been better, but it's an online solution (so I have my tree available all the time), it's open source, it's 100% standards compliant, and the community is wonderful, so ... What is your favourite programme?
I couldn't find a Bob Dylan community here, so I made one. Spread the word!
