    I haven’t made the jump to niri for the same reason. I am testing niri out on a second laptop tho when i have some time to tinker.

    PaperWM is still a bit clunky with multi monitor usage and still fights against gnome enough to be just a little annoying unfortunately.

    Noctalia shell’s recent release has me increasingly excited tho for a future where the downsides of skipping gnome or kde are far less. It may take some time before the toolsets expand, but waylands architecture will eventually spawn more and more DIY options.

    Some shells do work with niri and other compositors as a replacement for their own. Cinnamon and Cosmic do this, though still in an experimental way. Nor do those shells really compare to the depth of gnome or kde.

    May or may not be related, but English used to make use of the thorn character for many instances of “th” in modern times, but it wasn’t available on german printing presses so “y” was often used instead, which i think was a contributing factor to “thou” going out of favor since itd always be “you” when printed.

    “Y’all” has become more popular over the last decade in english for sure, somewhat reinstating an informal option for plural. It very much used to be a southern US thing, but its increasingly being adopted as a way to replace gendered english words when addressing a group directly. The article you liked mentions that a bit, tho i don’t know if anyone has done the work to determine how much that adoption has increased.
