> How many desktop environments actually let you switch the window button side? KDE does. And Gnome used to.
Gnome still does: Gnome tweaks -> Window titlebars

I don’t actually believe my last Linux install came with a system Python. And as a Python developer I always end up using some tool or another to manage installations of multiple Python versions anyway. Furthermore jq just works as a classic command-line tool.
What Linux distro do you use that it doesn't have Python on it?

I'm a heavy vim user, but I still prefer the emacs-style key bindings for bash. If I want to do vim-style editing on the command line, I sometimes use Ctrl-X Ctrl-E to edit the line in my default editor (which is vim). YMMV, of course.
`.inputrc` is your friend. I have `v` (in normal mode) configured to open the line in an editor, because muscle memory sometimes makes me try to enter visual mode when editing a command.

Ubuntu but I think the same was true for Arch.
What? Half of Ubuntu's internal stuff is written in Python. They've switched to Python 3 but I've never heard of Ubuntu without Python.

In your opinion, what's the best GUI for QEMU/KVM?
Virt-manager
But you know what bothers me? Virt-manager is mature and feature-complete, and RedHat has discontinued it in favour of cockpit.
Cockpit is cool and I like it, but it's not as complete as virt-manager.
I do my development work and run most of my agency (with multiple employees) with Linux. For some of the business things that most people don't assume Linux can do, I use: 1. Xournal to annotate PDFs (aka sign contracts without printing them and scanning them back). 2. LibreOffice of course for most document related work 3. OBS Studio for recording webcam videos along with screen sharing 4. Audacity for audio editing…

1. "Xournal" is amazing, small install footprint, simple interface and can do everything you need with pdf's. 5. You should try [1] "Kdenlive", it has it's quirks (as all linux tools do) but it's probably the best open-source Linux video editor out there. [1] https://kdenlive.org/en/

Please lets not recommend anyone new to Makefiles. It's such a dated system that you need to use tabs for functionality. Just one of million better alternatives like https://www.pyinvoke.org/ Makefiles need to be allowed to die so we can clear ourself of this absurd legacy cruft.
Make is for tracking dependencies between targets, and rebuilding stuff. Looks like pyinvoke does some glorified scripting, or something. I will never understand why so many people have no idea how to use Make, but are convinced that it is terrible, and then try to fix it by reimplementing some tiny subset of its functionality. Make is great. Learn it an use it. Its limitations are well-known, but easy-enough to work…
