I intentionally hold back major Python versions till I can dedicate a lot of time to get everything rebuild and compatible. A lot of big Python programs (ML, scientific) usually need work to get compatible requiring ~ 1-2 weeks of time to get this all done :)
KDE Ark is a graphical file compression/decompression utility. It's not system app and does not require deep integration with the base system. It's a bit strange choice of apps to include to system image.
Which is odd. Windows was able to browse ZIPs like normal folders since... 98? XP? Can't remember now.
IMHO KDE delegates too much core functionality to apps. On macOS, I can press "space" while having a file selected and I get an instant preview. This sort of thing must not be delegated.
Is this true? I was under the impression windows wasn't able to decompress zip files natively till very recently, like windows 11. I could be remembering wrong.
At the very least it does add context menu entries for compression to files, apart from "open with" obviously. That might already the reason right there.
That likely depends on the desktop environment. I have packages installed on my steam deck that add context menu entries, so clearly it's not impossible (my system still remains read-only, though I've been thinking about using an overlay like rwfus to get some new native packages, due to annoyance of self-management of self-built and downloaded ~/.local stuff)
I'm not claiming that my personal phone number shouldn't be online anywhere. There are plenty of places it's pretty easy to find!
I'm just saying that I didn't put my personal phone number onto a public Business Profile (only providing it for identity verification, many years ago). But then, randomly, one day Google decided to start publishing it to anybody who searched for that company name.
