  • Plasma has a cycle of releasing a bunch of new features and changes, and then squashing bugs every week when they discover them.

    Debian is on a 2+ year release schedule, and the packages are frozen long before the release. So plasma might be either working fine, or be broken for 2+ years.

    Fedora is semi-stable because it’s on a 4 month schedule, and AFAIK they don’t rush upgrading to new major plasma versions, so plasma works a lot better.

    Generally from my experience, plasma works best on rolling distros, while it’s crap on stable ones. Stable DEs like xfce are incomparably better suited to stable distros.

















  • Rabbits fell out of popularity. It became an expensive meat.

    We’re talking about historical context, not contemporary comparisons.

    The drawback on rabbit is the very lean meat (see rabbit hunger).

    You can get protein toxicity from any meat, and it’s not a concern unless you’re starving in the middle of winter and have literally no food besides meat.

    Also, ancient people didn’t have factory farmed broilers, and millennia of selective breeding for meat, those chickens were lean as well.

    The males are exceptionally aggressive as well…

    Because cocks are gentle and don’t regularly attack humans? And that’s after a lot of selective breeding to make them more docile, and not for fighting.

    Duck eggs are not for everyone. And the creatures require more water. The fatty meat is not very agreable for everyone.

    Edit: Apparently they were domesticated a lot later.

    Yeah guinea fowl were a stretch for many reasons.
