CPU usage is famously terrible with Electron, which i also pointed out in the comment you're replying to. But yes, having multiple chromium instances running for each "app" is terrible

If you're not able to connect to a NAS for some reason, that's almost definitely on you or your friend in this case. But even that aside, expecting a one to one transition has always felt odd to me... You don't switch from an Android device to an iOS device or vice versa with the expectation of everything working one to one. You usually understand that there's a lot of differences involved.

There's ofc things like VR that I will admit Linux is quite far behind in, but for general use, Linux is problem-free for the most part these days. And you definitely don't end up having an unbootable system pretty much ever unless you intentionally fuck it up. Like yeah, Linux lets me uninstall the kernel or bootloader if i choose to do that (it will try to warn me ofc) and that would render the system unbootable. But that would be me being irredeemably stupid, not the operating system's fault. Hell, some distros like Tumbleweed even come with a better snapshotting setup than both Windows and macOS, making it pretty much impossible to fuck it up that badly.

Crates aren't exactly runtime dependencies, so i think that's fine as long as the 1500+ dependencies actually help prevent reinventing the wheel 1500+ times

Yeah maybe like in 1995... If you're having this kind of issue in the present day, you'd have to be shooting yourself in the foot very very intentionally. (An example is a broken custom Arch or Gentoo setup, which you shouldn't be using anyway unless you know exactly what you're doing.)

Pebble is still going pretty well though, so I don't know if that's a good comparison

I'd take the bear over a strange woman too, as in a woman who is a stranger.

Most of systemd stuff is decoupled well. You don't need to use networkd to make use of resolved for example.

Nothing you're saying makes sense in the context of the comment you're replying to.

Not really true for video games. Plenty of popular games still with uncracked denuvo...

Too many.

I'd trust them over myself to understand stuff like that.

They're the maintainers of the most popular JS PGP library and they're pushing for some major upgrades to the PGP standard. There's no competing standard. Proton is pretty much the only popular encrypted mail provider that actually does interop well enough.
