X11vnc works like a dream on X11, couldnt agree more.

There is wayvnc for Wayland supposedly to solve the same problem, but I havent tried it myself yet

‘More equal then the rest’ eh?

Good luck with that, truly an american attitude

Weird someone has a similar setup to mine, its almost exactly the same (one nvidia one amd? Cause that’d be scary).

Feel like its overkill for most folks though lmao

I’d say nix is hardly niche at this point (although I’m biased cause I use it a ton)

There’s even a termux fork these days that runs nix on droid

They could also DDOS essentially anything with root access to that many devices.

Its like taking all the armies guns to throw them in a volcano ‘cause you want to see the world burn’

That being said Microsoft still did hire crowd strike and give them the keys to release an update like this.

End result still is windows having more issues than linux

Definitely a broad average but I don’t feel like its unfair to say each generation up is a bit more reserved that the younger

Termux/X11, sideloading, native Godot, file management, devic recycleability/reuseability, THE FUCKING BACK BUTTON, and crazy enough sometimes privacy even against apple’s marketing stance (this is a bit more controversial, but in a high privacy situation things like universal android debloater just can’t exist on apple - and having Icloud ‘helpfully’ store your encryption keys for you has felt as private as keeping it in my garage server)

But hey for some people the fisher-price option is the best option

Of course, but by just saying Linux you’re bound to be wrong somewhere - I’m just highlighting its so broad its an essentially useless definition (42% of all computers run it by the way). Gnome is pretty shit for customisability, so what’s more customisable than having another option?

By looking at ‘just Linux’ you couldn’t be more wrong for the core argument.

It also shifts the blame to many smaller devs like matrix which tbh they’re mostly doing work for free so who’s gonna complain they don’t want to add extra complexity, just get in that source code if you really care. And in the age of such easy frontend engines an experienced could probably whip up their own in a week.

Also ive never had issues with qt/flatpaks, using prism launcher as an example, its seamlessly followed my color scheme (not saying bugs don’t exist somewhere I’m not seeing, but there certainly is 'just works support to some degree).

I you’re gonna be mad people don’t like something, yikes open source isn’t for you - git as a whole all but is designed to handle disagreements without breaking its stride.

Uhh Linux is a kernel and on its own doesn’t even support graphics much less customising them.

But if you wanna actually blame someone, we’ll need to know which software youre talking about - could be OPPO’s ColorOS for all we know.

That being said a big name in the Linux world is KDE, and they have one of the best theming engines Ive ever used. Everything QT follows the theme - so much so I didn’t even realise how ugly some apps look on windows (like prism launcher not matching my file explorer?? Eww)

That being said I couldn’t agree more with the first part, and in linux specifically I wish we had more ‘basic display driver’ like tools to handle emergency situations.

Makes sense, but at least this would generally be out of a normal users usage case (multi-file documents), and so the power user could probably just open flatseal.

For things like bookmarks it’d work fine, and by extension make the sandbox more secure

I’m not 100% confident but I thought you could use portals to access individual files outside of the sandbox

Learn Godot game engine, free and fun to just mess around with a physics engine too your PC melts

Cause a lot of people care more about feeling comfortable than feeling statistically probable.

Funny enough this ‘slop’ is compliance, but hey you seem to think you’re mega dev supreme so I’m sure you already knew that

Adblockers existed so google took it out on all of Firefox, the collateral being a win-win to their monopoly

Probably along the lines of ‘its bloated and too many dependencies’.

Though most flatpaks use a common base, any modifications on top of that sometimes need to be stored modified (now having 2 or more copies of one dependency)

To anyone that’s not a Linux nerd the app looks about the same size as on all other OS’s, but on Linux it makes it a lot larger than just bare bones installing it via package manager

Amputee’s have climbed Everest, doesn’t mean its the easiest way to

They had it bad for sure but has the rate of decline really slowed?

Like sure buying a house is impossible, but shit that was a recession or 3 ago - and every single one has just pulled homeownership higher.

As easy as it is to say ‘back in my day’, I think its important to look at it numerically to avoid the mistakes of our ancestor’s (since at least baby boomers, but realistically probably even longer)

But also like your economy was golden compared to the current, at even fairly reasonable housing prices its still gonna be far out of most budgets for the foreseeable feature.

How bout you try and be a good parent and give your kid their best life regardless of things out of their control?
