I've used KDE plasma as recently as 2019 and it most certainly does not do that. If you're saying that it just recently got added then that's extremely sad that it took this many decades. Surely a few decades more until it's the default, though
EDIT: ha, I just looked it up. exactly as I remember, you need to use a modifier key to do any dropping. And it opens a dialog half the time instead of just doing it. I'm 99.99% sure it's not integrated with bash at all, let alone the OS, meaning you can't drag and drop a path from one program to another. Something you could probably do starting in windows 95
I'm not sure I understand what you're describing but I believe Plasma and Dolphin work like that. If you drag and drop a file into a program it will select that file (if it expects a dropped file) or paste the path. You can also drag and drop files inside Dolphin itself to move or copy stuff around. I think what's confusing you is that, by default, it doesn't assume a move and prompts you to pick between that and copy, and you can force the choice and prevent the prompt by holding a key while dragging. You can, however, change this behavior in the settings to instead mimick Windows explorer.
It may be gnome (which is even worse). But if you're correct about the setting to change the behavior, then this is a non-default (setting) of a non-default (desktop environment) in Ubuntu. A really unfortunate situation.
I am skeptical about the claim that KDE's file explorer supports dropping files onto any part of a file path e.g. three levels up in one go, but if you say so.
Wait, this PHP-GTK thing is abandonware! Last release in 2008, and only supports PHP 5.5.
Currently, and for most purposes (especially for new projects), PHP 7 is already being considered old... the amount of work that went into PHP 8 vs. PHP 5 is simply staggering.

Should it? I mean, GDPR wise you're sending a subrequest by embedding eg. an iframe - which involves user data that might be used for tracking by yt/tt etc.
Shouldn't it be better - to err on the safe side - to just replace eg. the embedded player with a placeholder (maybe featuring a link to youtube) unless user has given consent to the embedded player?
Microsoft didn't support ext because too few people were using it to justify the effort, yet somehow they went to great lengths and implemented the whole WSL, and... ~twice at that - for a possibly smaller user base?
It might, I haven't tried it (though maybe I should).
I thought (maybe incorrectly) it was "super bleeding edge", depending on changing and bloating so many aspects of my existing setup as to make the setup useless to me for existing tasks. For instance, I don't have (and don't want) GNOME installed, or any sort of desktop environment, or wayland -- I'd probably have to relearn how to accomplish the tasks I ordinarily do, and it's not worth the cost.
Anbox is old stuff. Waydroid is improving with each release (which happened several times in the last few months), and it's great overall, but tricky to set up properly: kernel modules, mutter (if your desktop is under X), and the Google activation step for your new device; then houdini and possibly other stuff (eg. to fake wifi if using ethernet, Magisk...). Once you do that, it's almost as native and it usually supports your GPU.
With the latest Ubuntu release, it just works with `apt install waydroid`. Got it up and running in literally 3 minutes and with a few mindless clicks.

Guess what, that's exactly what happens in Dolphin (KDE Plasma). Please don't spread falsehoods.
