Kate got submitted to the Windows Store
Since a few years Kate is working well on Windows. You can grab fresh installers since then from our download page.
But the visibility of it was very low for Windows users.

Why don't people use OpenSUSE?
Okay so hear me out. OpenSUSE is a very good distro. It includes business oriented software and is very configurable.
But why is it so overlooked by Linux fans? It is very popular with businesses, but OpenSUSE has, amongst other things:
- the easiest package manager out of all the distros
- the backing of a large and successful company
- a super easy package installer (just find the package on the website and it'll install it for you)
- YaST which makes configuration super easy
- a cute lizard as their mascot (who doesn't like lizards?)
- optional rolling release
- beautiful GUI
- German Engineering™ for your software
- stability without sacrificing new software
- HUGE repos
- super easy installation (as easy as ubuntu)
I literally can't understand why it's so overlooked and why more distros aren't at least based on it.
What are your thoughts?

What is the current status of merging Wireguard into the kernel?
Wireguard has been around for a while, and is in use by numerous people (even though it needs some more auditing). Linus showed to be [very enthusiastic](https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/CA+55aFz5EWE9OTbzDoMfsY2ez04Qv9eg0KQhwKfyJY0vFvoD3g@mail.gmail.com/) about it, yet there were some issues concerning how to get it into the kernel, as expressed on [this article on LWN](https://lwn.net/Articles/783973/).
TLDR:
* Wireguard introduces its own crypto algos which is deemed to be easier to use than the kernel's async ones
* This duplicate effort causes doubt on whether the current kernel implementation is worth it
The article furthermore speculates the merge should happen somewhere around now (given the current version of the kernel).
Though, lots of time has passed. Does anyone more involved in kernel development know more about it?

How to boot recently discovered decade old IDE HDD linux distro on Win 10
Hello r/linux!
this post is in connection with this episode youtube video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NYdRCONwbY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NYdRCONwbY)
(it may be helpful to read this post before watching)
I have a bit of a predicament on my hands at the moment. I recently acquired an IBM Deskstar IDE 40GB IDE HDD, picked from an old PC I purchased at my local thrift store. Although the computer itself failed to turn on, I was happy to get a complete tower for parts at a decent price. Long story short, I found out that it still possesses a nearly decade old Linux distribution called Mandrake v9.2. After a few attempts at booting the HDD from my Win 10 PC, I was faced with multiple errors after choosing to boot as a USB device.
My theory is that the drive is failing to boot because my PC is based off of a UEFI, instead of a BIOS. Instead of tinkering with the drive to the point that it will no longer boot, I decided to seek a second opinion. I do have a few towers laying around my apartment atm but im quite certain they all operate off the UEFI input system as well.
That being said, im hoping that some of you out here could help point me in the right direction so that i may be able to eventually boot the drive and possibly discover a very cool (and possibly unintended) electronic time capsule. Thank you.

Do you have problems with Bluetooth on Linux?
I'm using bluetoothctl to connect to my Bluetooth devices and often I can't even pair with devices from the first attempt.
It becomes even worse when I want to pair my headset with PC, so in that case, some PulseAudio mangling required to setup correct profile (e.g. A2DP).
