That’s what I thought, hence I mentioned the bowl of water. Which was heated with wood or coal which had to be carried manually… in buckets… Imagine that :-)

That’s the way all our great-grandparents did it. But with a bowl of warm water.

Uses just a fraction of energy & water. With the abundance of cheap energy, affordable piping and heating became affordable for the masses.

I doubt that’s a linux problem. All apps store config in /etc, ~/.*rc or ~/.config

Everything else should be considered a bug (looking at you, systemd!)

Delta Chat is awesome encrypted/secure messaging via imap and thus compatible with anyone who has an email address.

Conversations is an excellent XMPP client.
