oh and props for that… for doing and making new things in general

Just that distro-where-a-theme-would-do is something I see a lot of and people might wind up tackling a larger harder problem than they need to and not spending as much time & effort on the stuff they intended to.

And, a lot lot lot more people can easily download & appreciate a theme than move distros (though some perverse individuals make a habit of the latter)

Like a lot of Linux distros, this should have just been a window manager theme and maybe a helper app

Absolutely no sense bringing in stuff like init system and depmod and C compiler version when what you care about is UI theming

For anyone that hasn’t played with this yet

maybe our averages are different

As a person who has been managing software development teams for 30+ years, I have an observation.
Invariably, some employees are “average”. Not super geniuses, not workaholics, but people who (say) have been doing a good job with customer support. Generally they can code simple things and know the OS versions we support as a power user – but not as well as a sysadmin.

I do find that if I tell them to use ChatGPT to help debug issues, they do almost as well as if a sysadmin or more experienced programmer had picked up the ticket. It gets better troubleshooting, they maybe fix an actual root cause bug in our product code.
