Look at the Timeline heading on the wiki page, turns out yes, actually using it

So libreoffice, some sap, some db and registry

Fuck knows, I doubt 97% of all workstations run just the one app though

But I ain’t french, or a cop (ACAB), so I don’t know for certain

What does “97% of workstations” mean?

So you’re saying they never hallucinate? Ever?

I have evidence to the contrary;

Doesn’t allow you to use AI with your repos

You say that like it’s a bad thing, that’s a EXCELLENT THING, get the slop outta open source

Codeberg then

Hell yeah!

I’d love to preview it, could you see about adding it to DistroSea?

Ah dang good point

Atom is back to life, kinda, there’s a fork of it called Pulsar that’s actually really pretty good
