Cryptocurrencies are often understood to enable private payments, but most don't. Monero does, but its value still fluctuates and wastes energy (even if far less than Bitcoin) in time of the climate catastrophe.
GNU Taler is a (free software) system which enables anonymity for the buyer but not for the merchant, enabling taxability. In effect it's digital cash you can even use offline without having an internet connection at payment time. It is not a new (crypto-) currency.

What's the Linux desktop for the playful developer? 🤔

Let's do it right here!
Sway is a Wayland i3 implementation and you really should be using Wayland instead of X.

I think mid translates to reliable and boring. Which is desirable for an OS.

I'm very glad GNOME does such an amazing job staying modern in its look. GNU+Linux and free software would be much worse off without it.
