You can either decide by what is currently in demand in the industry and then pick a project that you can exercise that language with or you can think of a project you'd like to do and then go by what the best language is for a given project.

In the end, languages are just like different wrenches. First you have to learn how to use a wrench, size or features don't matter much at this point (unless you already know that you want to become an expert with one particular wrench).

I think starting a new project is way easier than contributing to an existing one.

Best advice I have:

Keep at it. Do actual projects. Actually use the tools for a while. It will eventually make sense.

Why do so many external entities care so much about constantly trying to reduce my privacy?

If they would not have started it, I wouldn't have started to care.

Install literally every package from the repo, then you can experience breaking OS every day.

The most annoying ones for me personally, in no particular order:

1. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491230
2. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483503
3. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488060
4. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482953
5. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490055
6. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477951
7. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479391
8. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482953

tldr: nothing works - sorry for being bitter

I have reported and/or commented on existing issues when plasma 6.0.0 rolled out on arch and there has been no work on them as far as I can see.

I even asked in the matrix dev rooms.

They were not even triaged. So some describe the same issue multiple times. Check the ones which had activity in 2024:

https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?component=rules&order=changeddate%20DESC%2Cbug_status%2Cpriority%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_id&product=kwin&query_format=advanced&resolution=---

I just hope they fix window rules

As far as I can see it is just Debian with LXDE, firefox ESR and some other packages preinstalled.

If they respect the license, you as a user can ask for the source code by e-mail.

But from my point of view, you can just install plain old Debian and all the same software and get a long term proven OS that will not randomly disappear and a huge userbase for support questions.

Ask chatGPT (as one step of your search for a framework that suits your needs)

I have been trying to find a suitable existing solution and by just explaining what I want it to do, chatGPT output a bunch of potentially interesting projects, which I didn't bump into through searchengines. (And a lot of unrelated bogus, but it was a very good starting point anyways)

netcup as well

Well, they have blocked a mobile phones connection when you held it in your hand sooooo
