I'm not a Gnome user, but I'm geniunely hyped for the new tiling feature. If KDE doesn't get something similar soon I might change DE just for that.

Revolution 9, as was often joked about on beatlescirclejerk in the other place.

Some of the inventions that historically took way longer than you'd expect: the shoe, the wheelbarrow, and the stirrup.

Also archival techniques so that history's not as messy the next time around.

Readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy is a great little collection of some central texts, with minimal but helpful commentary. Some, like the Analects and the Daodejing, are short enough to be printed in full, and others have selections.

For Indian philosophy, I don't have any immediate recommendations. I've heard good things about Edward Conze's books on the history of Buddhism, but have never read them myself. Odds are they might be a bit dated, but still a strong introduction.

For a general overview, Peter Adamson's podcast and book series History of Philosophy Without any Gaps is usually great, and his strong suit is in medieval islamic thought.

Thank god that's changing tho. CK3 and (though to a lesser extent) Vicky 3 both have relatively decent tutorials.

There's also plenty of FOSS obsidianlikes. Logseq looks promising, but I'm sticking with Obsidian because I rely a lot on some of the extensions.

Either way, migrating is as easy as opening the same folder in one app or the other, so you might as well try.

"an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs"

The culprit went into hiving.

I've been using Krohnkite on KDE. Are those you mentioned better?

I'm not a huge fan of the graphics in these 2D FF remasters, they feel 'neither here nor there' with some elements in pixel art and some not.

Octopath Traveler's the only game I feel got away with it, probably because the heavy filtering makes it more consistent.

I second Plasma as a touch desktop. Neon is pretty great, but I'm not a huge fan of the LTS base + bleeding edge DE combo. I'd personally recommend either Fedora KDE for frequent updates overall, or Kubuntu LTS for general stabilty.

I second the recommendation of Go. I'm very much a beginner, but the subtlety and variety of every game kind of ruined chess for me.

Some more recommendations of learning or beginner resources:

Go Magic has a lot of really in depth video and interactive tutorials. There's a paid plan, but the beginner and early intermediate courses are free and way more thorough than anything else online right now.

The Conquest of Go is a great little game on steam that has its own tutorials and a campaign mode with scaling difficulty. It's my favorite way to play against bots, but you can also connect your OGS account and play online through there.
