At best it'll take over Steam hardware survey as the standard spec of PC gaming. I can't see anyone other than enthusiasts buying it over a normal console or Windows laptop.
Wayland is a bunch of amateurs trying to be strict and secure and the end result is everyone opening their own security holes to make it usable. It's working now, mostly. KDE got some kind of video bridge recently which…

What truly made Wii/DS and Wii U/3DS era Nintendo OSes great are the built in games and mechanics that extend into other games as well. Loved collecting houses in ACNL and receiving Wii Mails from a Toad.
From my understanding the goal is to prevent pirates and hackers from modifying the game's binary. I have no idea why would anyone want to do that on Nintendo Switch though, Switch 1 doesn't have any headroom and Switch…
The problem with things from the Linux world is that they never reached the height of commercial desktops to begin with. If you really enjoy worse Windows XP UX with hamburger menus in recent versions then by all means…
The beginners are long time workspace and school users who were requesting features already in the product.
VSCode needs Electron which is too big IMO. It's also a specialised code editor instead of a general text editor, with features like builtin terminal and traditional menus instead of ribbons.
Canonical and Red Hat have been modernising things for a long time, albeit slowly. Most funds went into server components. As for the desktop community… Well, it has a severe lack of professionals.
Apple is almost purely customer products, they don't have the resources to compete with the giants in this field. Their image classification happens on-device, in comparison Google Photos does that server side so they…
You need tons of effort, plenty of experience in the field and a single unified direction to get them done well, and unfortunately the Linus Torvalds of Design currently does not exist. Many underestimate just how much…
Are we reaching the death of UI design? Feel like we're now at the point where being mid-bad makes something one of the best for many. I miss Windows 7 and OS X.
Started with Debian 10 GNOME, switched to KDE 5 for its features, went back because of the design issues(KDE 6 is much better). After a few years I switched and settled on Fedora Silverblue. With rpm-ostree automatic…
Always nice to see progress. I hope KDE can have more design people working on it. Things like toolbars are often overlooked despite their importance.
Even in Minecraft it looks bad. Some CJK characters are Serif for some reason.
The problem is still the desktop itself. Basically none of the existing Linux desktop components are mature, either design or technical wise and more often than not, both. Deck works because most games are self…
Potentially longer gaps between major updates, since they can no longer follow upstream closely. However, Google might have planned to slowly make Android proprietary, which means death to 3rd party forks.
The World needs more Snow Leopards.
