Is the school providing the license? because if they're not, then it is a rough call to require and force parents to pay for a non essential tool. This is why FOSS is such a powerful education ally. It doesn't cost any of the end users any money. This kind of things is why people still think MS products as the default. MS spent a lot of money in marketing to force education to treat them as such.

One of McConaughey's most iconic characters. The fact he is introduced as a crazy evil antagonist but transitions to badass bro of the protagonist by the end of the movie is genius.

It flopped at the box and was regarded as a ripoff of the matrix's aesthetics by critics. But it was well received by home audiences. I remember it fondly as a quick to syndication movie. It definitely has some lows in quality at points and the plot could've been stronger. But its highs were very solid.

Still bold things to say from someone who declared himself emperor of the world a la Roman style and opposed most of revolutionary ideas of freedom and democracy…twice.

Never been to New York, eh?

If the latrine was in the cellar under the first floor. Can you imagine the awful smell in that cathedral?

I think it was part of the story that some group had already broken into the tomb but got wiped out by the traps. You're looting their equipment. You even fight them in between puzzles.

Please remember that no one is taking anything away from you. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. Traditional package managing isn't going away any time soon. You are safe. Others can have their preferred tech, and you don't have to like it. It's ok to have different tastes.

It's not a flaw. Ostree is a last resort, you should be using containerized software. Layering a package should only be done when strictly necessary and not as the regular way to manage packages. If you need an overtly customized system, you use Nix or universal blue to design your new system declaratively and create your custom image.

Then just install KDE in your Arch install. Or use endeavorOS with KDE, or any other Arch based OS with KDE. Don't be dismissive of other people's interests.

Settings live in user space. Software exist in containers like AppImage, Flatpak or Distrobox. If something need deep system integration, they can be layered on top of the system in the user layer. Immutable does NOT mean less control. Just exerting control over the system in a different, usually more systematic, automatic and deterministic way.

your base distro is immutable, then any extra changes go on an additional mutable layer

That is exactly how OsTree and other layering solutions work. Only Nix requires a whole distro rebuild.
