There are plenty of cross platform frameworks and libraries that don’t involve web tech

Yes, but also not all studies are created equal (or done with honest intent on the first place)

This is expertly crafted to piss off people either way they think lol

1. I like having the upstream versions of software instead of it being patched by package maintainers.
2. I like having up to date software. It means that issue trackers for software I use are relevant
3. Doing distro upgrades when they end support never works gracefully and i have to completely reinstall. I’d rather just use a rolling release which in practice works and is supported indefinitely
4. I do like bleeding edge updates. For wine for instance

Is the space pope reptilian?

I guess you could say I’m impressed if we were discussing it like a beta preview of something that might be cool eventually. But what we’re doing is treating it like it’s amazing for all sorts of things it sucks at because it’s unreliable and shoving it in everything.

So yeah, I’m unimpressed with the reality vs the sales pitch.

To be fair, dual booting is not really for people that aren’t very tech savvy. Just thinking about trying to explain partitions to some people I know is giving me a headache

People like to recommend immutable distros like bazzite because in theory they’re much harder to break, but in reality they are a niche community and are nowhere ready for primetime for casual users

It’s actually less trouble. Back when i used ubuntu based distros I ended up using the arch wiki anyway, and I never successfully upgraded from one ubuntu LTS to the next without problems anyway, so I figured why not try the distro that doesn’t have upgrades and has amazing docs. It’s much more stable.

Ritual sacrifice to the penguin god

I use laptop trackpads with my thumb all the time

Sometimes it feels like a portion of the community views complexity as a badge of honour

Adding GUI tools adds complexity

Trombone champ time

The next hype lined up is quantum

You recognize that it is absurd to complain about recommendations and then recommend something you know nothing about and refuse to stand behind, right?

Already exists. And you’re basically spreading misinformation.

I mean yeah I’ll take higher quality. I’d just rather have less lossy compression than higher resolution

Yeah I’d way rather have higher bitrate 1080 than 4k. Seeing striping in big dark or light spots on the screen is infuriating

Obvious answer is to be more like a normal book
