Our views can be compatible. Endless os is quite limited right now, but if flathub would have xampp, for example, that would be easily the simplest way to run a webserver. However, every techy person prefers docker, me too. It's just not something that my mother can deal with. In general, linux is lacking these mother compatible apps where we have more advanced solution. Of course, I wouldn't recommend endless and others in the category if the goal is to run a webserver.

None of them good for non techy people. I wouldn't recommend mint. Gnome is the most friendly DE with pleasing defaults. There are many immutable flatpak distros coming with gnome. e.g.: Endless os which is pre installed on some asus laptops instead of Ubuntu for reason.

That's fair. Typescript has to cook with the existing js ecosystem.

I would prefer paying for it with my taxes. Not for facebook though.

Afaik, most phones are backdoored that can be abused using tools like "pegasus" which led to a huge indignation in Hungary. I don't belive PCs are exceptions. Intel ME is a proprietary software inside the CPU, often considered as a backdoor in Intel. AMD isn't an exception. It's even weirder that Intel produces chips with ME disabled for governments only.

Try donating projects you would like to use. If your adobe subscription amount is going to gimp and inkscape, you are buying yourself into the future of freedom. If you buy adobe, you will limit yourself more and more.

Practical difference: Both dnf and apt are slow as hell. Pacman is flying compared to them.

Some distros do not include all supported device firmware in the base system. You have to determine your wifi adapeter and install the firmware for it. You may want to use usb tethering from your phone for that.

I made a home inventory management software, because I don't have much space in my flat, so I track every single piece of the compressed pile of boxes; with qr codes on them.

It's a very simple app but you should have a printer to print qr codes for the boxes.

The documentation lacks some detail, so ask anything about it, if you want to try it.

EDIT: yeah I didn't update the readme. The installation may not work. So tell me if you want to give it shot.

It looks like this in action btw:

That's my problem with this. It tries to be a desktop display server protocol without unifying all desktop requirements. Sure, X11 is old and have unnecessary things that aren't relevant anymore, however, as someone who builds their own DE, (e.g.: tiling window managers) I see it as the end of this masterrace. Unless everybody moves to wlroots. Flameshot, for example, is already dealing with this, having at least 5 implementations only for linux, and only wlroots and x11 are standards.

Also, imo, having windows in windows is useful when you want to use your favourite terminal in your favourite IDE. But as you said DEs can implement it simply. Let's say wlroots will implement this but others can decide otherwise. And for those the app won't run.

Another example, that affects my app personally, is the ability to query which monitor is the pointer at. Wayland doesn't care having these so I doesn't care supporting wayland. And I"m being sad about this because X is slowly fading away so new apps will not run on my desktop.

Moreover with X11 I could write my own hotkey daemon in my lanuage of choice, now I would have to fork the compositor.

Do I see it wrong?

My brother had that OS. It worked fine until it got a bug that the computer froze when he enabled the wifi, and the only way to stop it was pressing the power button. I couldn't figure out the cause, and there was many unnecessary things coming with the OS, so I helped him to install Arch instead. Now, it works well and feels clean.

EDIT: based on the comments, the issue happened with arch too.

When I was child I thought they are the same places, even though Austria is our neighbour country. 😄
