    I don’t even know how to get into that

    KDE seemed like quite easy to get started with, I installed their tooling, found a good first issue in Dolphin I could reproduces but couldn’t build dolphin locally following their guide, joined their matrix chat and asked for help, got ignored for a day, then somebody pointed me to another room where I should ask if the build guide was up to date, got nothing their and I gave up

    Went through some other interesting open source projects I have been using and I was trying to pick something but to no avail, all issues there is somebody from India that took it and didn’t reply after 4 years (probably they have something in university asking them to do that)

    I would rather spend my precious time in building something I have 100% control over than join the rat race. I have cloned a few projects in the past, fixed some annoying issue or upgraded deps to match my environment, installed the forked version and never opened a PR

    So yeah, if you have a project and need some extra hand, let me know, I am an expert in Python but interested in languages I am less than an expert in like go, rust, zig, elixir (I am ready to match your style, good quality, skip using LLMs, …) . If interested I could also invite you to help out with a few things I have in progress or I am aiming for a re-write.
