That's very true. It's probably safe, but even still, it's safer to use the layered package. I should've pointed that out. Thank you for reminding me. (-:
Yeah, just using the OpenVPN file (which is natively supported by networkmanager) is way cleaner, even if you don't get all the features. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to use it on immutable distros.
I'd say VSCodium, Kate or Vim. VSCodium if you want something like VSCode, Kate for just an absolutely amazing IDE or Vim if you want to try something new.
How so?
