Just use some HP calculator emulator. That way you don't have just an RPN calculator, but a full fat graphing calculator.

You forgot the part where TeX was created by a CS professor because he didn't like how his editor printed the formulas in his book

What happens if you enable inverted colors?

I don't do it regularly, just when I start looking like a monkey, but here's what I do. If I just want to do it quickly I use the trimmer, maybe with a longer setting, because it pinches. Otherwise I use a regular razor, like the Gillette ones and a bit of patience, it's surprisingly easy not to cut yourself. Sometimes I use depilatory cream, but be careful, if you put too much or leave it on too long it will burn for a few days.

AI has a lot of great uses, and a lot of stupid smoke and mirrors uses. For example, text to speech and live captioning or transcription are useful.

"Hypothetical AI desktop" "Siri" "copilot+" and other assistants are smoke and mirrors. Mainly because they don't work. But if they did, they would be unreliable (because ai is unreliable) and would have to be limited to not cause issues. And so they would not be useful.

Plus, on Linux they would be especially unusefull, because there's a million ways to do different things, and a million different setups. What if you asked the ai "change the screen resolution" and it started editing some gnome files while you are on KDE, or if it started mangling your xorg.conf because it's heavily customized.

Plus, every openai stuff you are seeing this days doesn't really work because it's clever, it works because it's huge. Chatgpt needs to be trained for days of week on specialized hardware, who's gonna pay for all that in the open source community?

Distributing software is not instantaneous. Assuming that Mozilla has already sent the update to flathub, it will take some time before it's validated and available for download.

If instead of flatpak you had used native packages, you would be in the same situation, as fedora's update system keeps updates in testing until enough people say it's fine.

If you wanted to get the update as soon as possible, you would have to download the prebuilt binary from Mozilla, but then you would have to update manually and everything.

Just be patient for a few days.

IMHO I would avoid the ublue distros and just go for official fedora spins. The guys have good intentions, but they don't have the means to maintain that many distros "properly". I often end up enabling copr packages for bazzite in my fedora install, just to find out the program doesn't work.

That being said, as the other comments told you, you can still install native apps on immutable distros, it's just a bit more work. I don't expect distrobox or toolbox to be much faster than flatpak, as they are all just containers with a nice cli, except flatpak is easier to update. But trying costs nothing

Look at what mathematicians have been asking your respect for.

"Hello, I would like i potatoes"

How can we trust science when they say things like that?

This is a good opportunity to go watch megamind

In KDE (well, in dolphin) you can edit files in system folders from GUI if you type admin://path/to/folder. You might need to install one kio-admin before tho, and you need dbus and polkit

Well, I'm biased because KaTeX is load bearing to my use case. But I would argue that it:

• Is more powerful
• Is an introduction to LaTeX (which is an industry standard)
• It's ubiquitous

You could consider using mathjax instead of KaTeX which should render both latex math and asciimath, (and should be better in general). If you had unlimited resources (which I guess you don't) it would be cool if you made the math language into a setting.

For git, other than the add and commit buttons, it would be useful to have a "git gutter" which shows changes from the last commit. Which is the only git integration feature that you can't get away with external tools.

For spell checking, even just pulling in some dictionary, like the ones in vscode's cspell extension and having a basic dictionary check is much better than nothing.
