I think I agree with you, and I also think you probably know better than me, but - Python couldn't become what Python became without doing this exact thing very deliberately, bordering on obnoxious at times. Fundamentals or "initial state" define the characteristic strengths and weaknesses for a language, but what to add and what not to, as well as "why" and "how", over time determine the true shape and user experience (lacking a better word there) of a language.

Despite its reputation, in my view Python has always been far more opinionated about how to do things than most give it credit for.

Well, now, that's useful, but we shouldn't fail to mention good ol HCl, muriatic acid colloquially for this purpose, also great for cleaning oil stains from a driveway!

Happens a lot - my (quite small) shop was using NestJS for backends and my boss is way more experienced and wise than me. I unintentionally caused us to switch over to Python, which probably sounds as silly as JS to many, but - we deliver dope shit, on time and on budget 🤷‍♂️

FastAPI ftw, fight me! Lol jk Django is cool and useful and serves a different need, quite well from what I understand.

Dangit. That's me too, I just saw your comment before posting one myself 😅

Rubbed me the wrong way too, dude is the exact opposite of AI. He IS clearly vibing in the photo however.

I haven't bothered to actually search or troubleshoot yet, but since I'm here - have you had any problems with power management failing to automatically turn screens off when idle?

I don't get consistent behavior there it seems (AKA it leaves them on when it shouldn't), but that's I think the only significant oddity I've found in the ~7 months or so I've been running Bazzite. And like I said I've done basically nothing yet to try to solve it, just wondering if you've seen it. I have the issue on a desktop and a laptop, using entirely different monitors (not even same brand) FWIW.

Yep I use KDE-flavored Bazzite and actually forgot GNOME was even offered! It works deliciously. Came over from Windows last winter finally and boy, the UI alone is just so much nicer.

Ouch! My dignity! Help!

As a (primarily) Python dev, I hope you use this and have a miserable time lol

Holy shit. That's an amazing idea...

Just wanna add another Bazzite recommendation! If you're on the fence and feeling like "but my games!" - Bazzite's got your back. Shit works great.
