1 is nixos
and 8 does not exist so nan:P
- How do you spell ed with five letters? smh
  
  How do you spell Writing out bytes on a hard drive platter by carefully using a needle and a magnet with five letters? smh my head*
  
  Gedit
- Almost got it, it’s
  undefined
  
  nano
  
  nvim
- They could possibly mean neovim. They appear to have spelled it wrong, though.
  
  vim was a mistake. Go back to vi.
  ...but modernizing it is still a good idea, so I present to you: neovi
  (No, I'm not serious)
  
  does not fit though
  luckily we vim fanatics do not have to worry, through the power of wordle solver, we can use exits instead lol
  
  Helix?
- emacs[esc]:wq

Better than vim
I’m done here, this crossword is bullshit
- The answer has got to be helix ;)
  
  We’re not friends anymore.
  
  no, it should be kakoune :P
- neovim?
  
  I don't think about neovim being separate to vim, sorry.
  
  I’ll allow it.
- It seems like only one side of the ancient rivalry is represented in the comments here. No worries, I'm right there with you.
- I was expecting a 'better than emacs' clue to go along with this one.

I think there's a mistake, I can't fit "neovim" into 8 across.
- And "nothing" does not fit, either.

You need a spell checker friend.

Pretty confident in my solve. The only ones I didn't get myself were 20-down, 29-down (obvious in retrospect), and 21-across (inferred the word, but didn't know the tool).
- I don't think your spoiler tag worked.
  
  Voyager Displays it correctly.
  
  Rendered for me fine on Jerboa
  
  Boost For Lemmy is not rendering spoiler tag
  
  Are you using Sync? It never got the memo that Lemmy spoiler tags don't work the same way as Reddit ones and famously displays them improperly
- You can imagine my face reading the response of 15 lol I thought it was going to be a specific program hahaha I had a lot of fun with it and there were just a few I missed so I would love to see more like these in the future :)

Today I learned that gnome has a crossword maker. Now I need to play with it too!

I wonder if anyone ever made a crossword that also works as a QR code

So... Anybody smarter than me know that 24 across is. I thought something like showering/bathing because supposedly people don't like to shower/cleanup as cons but neither seem to fit. Then I thought friends but that doesn't make sense either. So I got nothing.
Edit: Remove the ING from showering and it fits. Gotta check the connected ones to see if it works, though, assuming I get those right.
Edit Edit: I absolutely hate the "Best WM (Wayland) one because that is too subjective to be able to be answered correctly, if you ask me.
- I get G _ N _ _ R there.
  I'm not 100% confident about the G but the other two I'm positive of. It's not SHOWER but I have no idea what it is
- Best WM (Wayland) shoud be Hyprland, it's exact length and fits with 18 and 32.
- Someone else said it.
  
  I must have missed that comment.

why are there so many List Files... ? Also 31 doesn't fit.
All those Distro Questions (29, 18, 27) are missing 2 spaces (OS is part of their name)

19 down - WinNT

Neither Vanilla OS nor Silverblue fit
- Where?
  
  He is reffering to 1

I dont get it.
- RTFM!!
  
  Confused man it sounds

Nice. I solved 22 (with 2 of them being unsure), there's 12 I don't know. I can only assume the multiple listings of 'List files in current directory' is a deliberate joke because you use it so much, but somehow it doesn't feel right.
You should find a website to share it where people can play it interactively! I'm sure such websites are out there, it's too obvious.

I got all of them but three.

I still cannot figure out 24 across.

I have no idea what 9 and 24 are, and at this point i don't know if i care anymore
- I don't know 24, but 9 is: ::: spoiler solution to 9 down scripting :::
  
  Someone else said it. I never would've gotten this myself but now that I see it it makes sense.
  
  Thank you, now i feel a bit dumb but i can rest in peace

Please moar of this!!!!

::: spoiler i got as far as this

Thanks for this, it actually was a lot of fun to try and complete it! 😀
