I've never tried modal vim because I've only just heard about it. The next thing I'd try is restarting the computer. Or Ctrl + Q whichever's easier.

And yet, here you are posting on it.

How did they end up thinking that everything must be done with terminal while using Ubuntu?

When asking for help in a Linux sub/forum/community, the answer will generally use the terminal because it works across desktops and even distros. It's a lot easier to give one or two commands than it is to work out what distro, what desktop, and what settings the querier has, then describe the steps necessary in that particular GUI.

This may lead to the impression that the terminal is required for day to day use of Linux.

I have now. It looks quite interesting too. I'm still trying to convince myself that out of date Nvidia drivers are a reason to move, guess I'll see if we get the 560 drivers.

Maybe I was lucky but I didn't experience many bugs with Plasma 6. One or two minor ones that were fixed quickly.

What I like about it is that Plasma with Wayland is now mostly bearable with an Nvidia card. It just needs Tumbleweed to update the Nvidia drivers and I think it will there. To the point I am considering trying EndeavourOS which I'm sure already has the latest drivers.

I'll add that Kubuntu is still on Plasma 5.27 and you'll have to wait until 24.10 to get the Plasma 6 goodness.

I'll also add that everyone forgets openSUSE Tumbleweed as an alternative.

Why would you not like it?

It takes the fun out of programming

but does it also include ‘high-level’ concepts like windows, input fields and so

Yes, it allows you build full on TUIs.

If you want a terminal gui, then ncurses may be suitable which you can also use in c++. Qt and Gtk have c++ bindings.

Turns out it doesn't work properly if you do let it
