The issue is that qt looks out of place on gnome and vice versa for gtk. You don’t see the issue because you don’t care about ui consistency as much as i do. That’s totally fine. We’re different people with different opinions. That’s the great part about open source. Yes I understand these people have lives outside programming, I do as well. I’m appreciative of the work that people do on many of the big projects and tools that I use. But that’s not going to stop me from wanting or hoping that things will get better. I of course would like to have more designers involved in more open source projects. Also in regard to funding where do you think it’s gonna come from? If people don’t want stuff like a way to develop for multiple frameworks then why would there ever be funding? The only way to get stuff is for a lot of people to want something and to work towards it. Me advocating for this has nothing to do with “demoralizing developers.” Again I’m not going to those devs and saying “rewrite this” I’m simply advocating for things that I think would be beneficial. There’s no reason I can’t do that. I’m not sure why you’re trying to gate-keep my opinion behind “how dare you not be thankful, go and write it yourself!” We can disagree about how much we think it’s important but I’m still going to have my opinion.

Yes go and write them is the usual response to these and I understand the sentiment. But also one can’t rewrite many many complex apps by themselves. I understand people wanting to do whatever they want sure. My point is it wouldn’t be an issue as much if there wasn’t as much fragmentation. If it was easy to write for both qt and gtk at once then people wouldn’t have to complain about one or the other all the time. In order to have an actual change it has to happen as a community not as an individual. It’s great that people can write stuff in whatever they want, I like being able to try out different frameworks. But sometimes unification across the desktop is something some people want. I don’t think you can just invalidate what I’m saying with the just go write it then. It’s not like I’m going to devs GitHub’s and raising issues saying “write this in gtk right now!!!” And for the record I have the same problems with proprietary software too. I don’t use windows really except for work but it looks like dogshit and a cobbled together mess.

Depends on your definition of winning. Lots of foss projects that look ugly and are not designed with ui in mind because it’s made by devs who are used to doing lower level stuff. Plus the fragmentation of qt and gtk. Winning would be easily building applications that could be native across DEs and actually look nice.

Fedora for sure, generally pretty up to date, lots of users so you can find articles pretty easily, and it’s a lot more stable than Arch BTW

Literally this. Let me use my own fucking box and my own goddamn pc how I want with big monitor. Also put DP on it fuck HDMI. I don’t need trackers in my bloody tv OS. My tv has an OS!!! That’s ridiculous. Sorry this is one of those things I’ve always been super pissed about.

Yeah I was going to respond like this. Also Mangione is still an alleged murderer btw.

Dude I keep seeing all of you people bloviating this nonsense. It’s very easy to just tell people “oh yeah just go kill people and risk your life.” And then everyone applauds and upvotes. It’s not about “living in delusion” it’s about how genuinely difficult it is to tell people to just go to war. It’s easy to just armchair this and I keep seeing it all over Lemmy but dude I haven’t even made it a quarter of my life yet, and most of my true cognizant semi adult life has been absolute dogshit. And now suddenly people who don’t live here are telling me to just go die. That’s scary as hell man. I wish people would think before they just type this shit everywhere.

Somewhere between 6’1 and 6’2

If we’re talking fencing maybe? Sure? I wouldn’t know I’ve not trained fencing. You’d know better than I. If we’re talking actual combat where I’ve trained a tiny bit with the sword and staff, I mean there’s just ways around that. Where I hold my sword or staff or whatever has little bearing on my defensive range. You’re just assuming you’re much faster than me because I’m guessing that’s what fencing is more about. But that’s with something extremely light and flexible. If where you held your weapon was all that was too it people would have been much less inclined to use say a giant battle axe. Also an actual fight ends quickly id never risk being inside your weapon range unless I knew I had a good shot. There’s no constraint on me attacking first or having to attack you a specific way.

Yeah no it’s totally realistic, but my arm is still probably much longer than yours.

Who’s to say they can’t dodge you as well? If they’ve got a reach advantage already tall doesn’t necessarily equal slow. If you’ve got a sword and I’ve got a spear as long as I keep my distance you can dodge a lot but you’ll be hard pressed to hit me unless you get inside my range.

I don’t want to use it but the thing is I need to convince my friends and the 50 servers I’m in to switch too…

Goddamn it dude is futo keyboard developed by nazis?

One might call that… a deep cut

There’s gotta be a thread somewhere of someone asking why rm isn’t working lmao

Tbf the overlap of Apple user and Linux user is generally small I think. I own most Apple devices that exist but I also have a Linux based desktop. Can’t say I strongly dislike one or the other in the way many do. I also generally like android but ios is a generally more private (vaguely) and more secure experience than android without graphene. I definitely despise windows though. UI, usability, and bloat are all ridiculous. Also powershell is and always will be the bane of my existence. Also what is the filesystem over there even doing lol. I have to use it for work and I swear everyday I find a new reason to hate it. In that regard it’s magical I suppose.

I need the features that Asahi doesn’t have yet, plus I don’t want that big a hit to battery life

I’m one of the weirdos who likes it on Mac, not so much on mobile. I prefer gnome over Liquid Glass though I think.

Hmmm maybe something to convince me off my MacBook onto a Linux laptop. Port selection is kinda disappointing though as usual. Will have to see how the new intel CPUs perform / battery life. I don’t think I can ever go back to having an obnoxious fan all the time
