Didn't work out well for the PolyMC guy:
PolyMC & Forks
For some time, PolyMC was the most popular minecraft launcher that's basically a modified version of MultiMC. This was until October 2022, when several developers were purged from the PolyMC team for promoting as the main contributor describes "radicalist leftist queer ideology". This purge of the contributors led to the tranny developers on the team to maliciously lie and claim that PolyMC had malware on it. This lie even being parroted by minecraft developer Kingbdogs. The only ones to call them out on their bullshit were anons on /g/. Of course, in the minecraft sphere they actually got away with it because most of these spergs technologically illiterate and nobody there actually audited the GitHub repository.
This led the same troons who were kicked off the PolyMC team to create a fork known as Prism. Which despite being a PolyMC fork became plagued with issues such as memory leaks and zip file path traversing issues [A] with a 7.8 severity rating that's still unresolved after a full year of it being detected. Meanwhile when people try to give them actual good code, they completely disregard good code because the guy who made it is a big ol' stinky meanie head™. I don't know about you guys, but I'll take a single Terry A. Davis over ten soy devs personally speaking. This isn't even mentioning how a few people in the Prism discord attempted to hijack the /mmcg/ thread on /vg/ on an occasion and fail miserably.
Because of this reputational damage that Prism did to PolyMC, their CurseForge token was revoked, their donation page was suspended, and their reputation was turned into a pile of smoldering ashes. All of this was because the Main Developer did not want a code of conduct for what is supposed to be a FOSS Project.
I wonder if that will lead to a schism in the community that literally ends up with incompatible codebases.
Gnu is probably a fringe case, because it has its own purity death spiral over (for lack of a better word) "freeness".
Oh no, I'm 100% with you there. Hence my love for OpenBSD and Obarun, both of which have essentially zero CoCs.
I was schizoposting about this like ~5 pages ago. Lemme give you a TLDR:
One word: keybinds. While I run DWM instead of i3, you can rig a keybind to swap you to a new workspace and drag or open your browser in there, if that's what you meant. For a more rice-friendly browser, may I suggest Qutebrowser? Very clean, very light, and very fun to use if you know your vim. Probably the most riceable browser you can find right now tbh, definitely far and away better than chromium/firefox.
I don't know if it's the best for you but Void Linux is one I've enjoyed using.
Honestly the keybinds aren't a huge issue, I've been using tilix and emacs for years, so splitting isn't crazy for me. Biggest learning curve on that front is the different 'flow' for choosing vertical / horizontal splitting.
Since Mint seems to be your thing I would recommend Devuan.
Take a look who "develops" Xorg. Oh wait, its the Wayland guys!
The plethora of different Wayland implementations is not a good thing, and I'm tired of pretending it is.

apparently you can break the screen on the latest macbooks just by putting a piece of paper on the keyboard and closing it.
Given they previously invented a keyboard that would break if it got dust under the key caps, this does not surprise me in the least. Apple hardware peaked in 2009.
I actually had a 2015 Macbook Pro back in the day and the only problem I ever had with the keyboard (besides being really shitty) was that a keycap came loose, so they weren't as flimsy as people say. Used it heavily for years and only replaced it after the battery died, although it became very aggravating to use for various reasons.
