Every DE apart from GNOME, KDE Plasma, Cosmic and a couple of obscure tiling WMs is still based entirely on X11. We are still a very long distance away from abandoning X11.

Ubuntu because you literally need zero setup and customization to get going after a fresh install. Everything is silently built in and everything just works.

German and French aren’t scripts, they are languages that use the same script as English - Latin. And LOL if you think they are any better than English.

By more sensible scripts I mean Hebrew or Arabic, which are a lot more efficient and clear in packing words than Latin or Cyrillic.

Whoah, I went down the rabbit hole after googling this “great vowel shift” and damn if it isn’t insanely interesting! English should have naturally split into descendant languages but the arrival of the printing press in the middle of the transition messed things up royally and now the entire world has to bear the idiosyncrasies. Nothing short of amazing, thanks a lot for your reply!
