alphareeToday I learned 'bool' is a subclass of 'int' in Python.
Before Python introduced a boolean type, it used 0 and 1 for truth values. 'bool' was later designed to behave like 0 and 1 to maintain backward compatibility.
StylusYay! We've officially removed support for building #microPython with #python2 https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/17870
Simon TathamI wonder when I'll stop finding forgotten #Python2 scripts in dusty subdirectories which need hasty updating.
Apparently it won't be today.

Eh...
It's a rolling release, so it's got that going for it, but a lot/most of their custom utilities (such as the package manager) is still on Python 2, which is... not good.
/usr/bin/python is even a symlink to python2 which is really not good.
Small team. Looks like the original dev, who started a new distro, is going to re-work a lot of those things, which will be the basis for Solus going forward, so there's a lot of hope for newer and better utilities.
To be clear, my only real complaint so far is the python2-ness of it.
Also, they don't have a ksh package (which some of my scripts require), but I managed to compile the standard ksh2020.
I don't know if I will stay. #Python2 is kind of a deal-breaker.
Still slowly replicating my #KDE #Plasma setup from my work #Debian box. I have a lot of custom keybinds that make it a little more like i3/sway for me.
My other options are Debian testing, #FreeBSD (probably will lose the ability to run KSP), or #OpenSuSE tumbleweed (if they can ever just enable polkit by default, already).
