Affine Connection

Yes, but they were satisfied when IBM was given a license to use JSLint for evil.

But dc is a reverse polish calculator Unix program. It’s even in the Bell Labs’ Unix 1^st edition manual.

C was built mostly to abstract from assembly

That’s actually not true; rather, many modern architectures are designed to allow languages like C to be compiled more easily. Old architectures don’t even have a built-in stack.

Ed Is The Standard Text Editor

ed, ex, and vi are all standard, required text editors in the Single Unix Specification.

I look forward to finding out how it’s actually much worse than meets the eye. [emphasis added]

You won’t loose data or corrupt the filesystem if your system looses power.

Some secondary storage devices ignore standards and outright lie about sectors being successfully written when they are actually scheduled to be written out of order. This causes obvious problems when power failure prevents the true writes from completing. Nothing can be guaranteed for such drives.

Real programmers simulate butterflies in emacs.

It’s not like the entire operating system is GPL. The customers are obviously free to redistribute the source for the free software components.

I agree, but OP wants GNOME 44, which is not available yet in Debian, except through experimental.

Without Flatpaks, you’ll have a lot of software problems.

How is that?
