I've noticed a pattern in distrohopping among my linux using friends. Many started with ubuntu back in the day, then switched to a less preconfigured distro like arch, gentoo, etc. You learn a lot being forced to tinker and fix things. But after that, many seem to have landed on distros of the debian or fedora kind, because they want to get actual work done and you can make any distro do almost anything anyway.
I don't know about morality, but my view is that it's part of the deal with free software: users can do what they want with it. If you willingly make your software free, that's what you signed up for. In return, the devs have no obligations to listen to users or do anything they don't want. If they only want to fix bugs in the flatpak, fine, that's their choice. It's their software, we're all free to work on or use it as we want.
If you're into Computer Modern, almost all modern tech variants (not Knuths original) are too light in print. If you look at his printed books from back in the day the letters are thicker. It's just a consequence of using one technology instead of the printing tech the font was designed for. Same thing (but more extreme) happened to Centaur btw.

I agree that conversations sometimes end up being about Linux, which is unfortunate. People seldom recommend installing BSD or other free systems, which is a shame. The lesson here is that we should all install OpenBSD.
A bold claim. RHEL updates are mostly security patches, are they doing that due to lack of resources too? Is it that hard to imagine that enterprise distros don't want surprises from changing functionality?
Theory: alcohol inhibits the otherwise natural blocking of earth spinning induced motion sickness. If you drink enough, you can feel the world spinning and lose balance.
The word "stable" usually means unchanging through a release. I.e. functionality of one release is the same if you stay in that release even if you update (security and bug fixes mostly). The experience of the system not doing anything unexpected like crashing is reliability. A rolling distro is by that definition not stable, but it can be more or less bug free and crash free.
The thing that my girlfriend struggled with when she moved to sweden was our swedish letter "y". She can do it now, but it still doesn't come naturally, she has to consciously move the right muscles to pronounce it.
Well, it's SVT, the swedish tax funded national tv. I think it's more the case that they fundamentally don't understand the people who were part of the Pirate Bay.
It's interesting to see the consonants follow a pattern like this. In swedish it's fack, with a harder k-sound, and many words are like this comparing germanic words.
Vi and later editors added a lot of commands, but if you want to keep the spirit of ed(1) and bring it into a visual context, I'd say sam(1) is the true successor. It's what Ken Thompson used after ed, and Brian Kernighan. There are some people who at least are interested in ed today, this book is good for example: https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/ed/
