I'm a 38 year old mom and I work in IT. I know, I'm rare :)

I am a real human but I read my post again and I can see why. I made some changes based on the feedback because it does seem like an ad (but I can assure everyone that it is not).

Gnome needs a bunch of extensions to make it look like Windows. I know KDE does a better job, and that Windows 11 might just be a rip off of KDE. However, most of the best apps are based on GTK and not QT. So for myself, I've been using Cinnamon for years.

I let my daughter try all three anyway and she actually liked Cinnamon the most.

I added some of this to my blog article so that future readers can get more background.

Thanks for your feedback, and I am not an A.I :)

I made some changes to it. I used to work in marketing for a few years in between IT jobs and that might have bled into the article.

You're right, I should have put more of our personal story into it. I made some changes, thank you for the feedback :)

I stopped using Twitter when Musk took over. I kept my account for a while but recently I logged in, saw a bunch of alt-right transphobia and racism, and then deleted my account.

Kiwi Farms was stalking and enciting hatred towards trans people. They had a body count. I am glad they're offline.

I am glad you like my blog :)

Speaking of using other programming languages with Gtk, I've seen https://github.com/diamondburned/gtkcord4 (Discord client written in GTK4 and Golang)

The author is kinda crazy. I am sad Wil Wheaton got bullied off of Mastodon.

Not a huge problem for me: (1) Never really used wordpad. (2) Used WordPerfect from 1999-2003 (3) Used Open Office and Libre Office since 2003 (4) I use Linux now

Yeah... the webmaster doesn't believe in "the SSL cartel"

A decent native Qt based e-mail client for one. Kontact/kMail is janky and don't get me started on thunderbloat. Evolution is just perfect and GTK3.

Edward Snowden managed to exfiltrate millions of documents because he was in help desk.

No it's not. I might have been posting my blog articles too much so I'm going to stick with 1 per week instead of a bunch per day. I'm also posting other links. I'm not gonna focus on Roy but I do believe I should get the word out.

I'll take your feedback into consideration when I write my next blog post. I added my full name to the bottom of THIS blog post so it's fair. It isn't my intention to run a "harassment campaign".

It's technology related... why all the censorship?
