There's a reason why modern browsers have multiple processes. Each tab and extension is sandboxed for stability and security reasons. There are also memory mechanisms that free up memory when other non-browser processes need it, but I am not an operating system expert/engineer so I am unable to explain it in details. Google Gemini it up.
Also Firefox tends to use similar amount of RAM as Chrome, and it's silly that it's only Chrome is being making fun of for that.
Of course it doesn't meant that modern web is fucking shit, but you cannot only blame modern browsers for that. It's just mostly bloated JavaScript bullshit.
By the way, I wish there was some alternative to modern Web which works like basic HTML + CSS, maybe even without using two languages for two different things (website content and stylesheet). If we had this, we could even have lightweight Markdown/WikiText/You_name_it viewer if exported to that format on the fly (by an app not JS).
I was always wondering why there's no real audio-based interface for blind people, instead of trying to describe what's on the screen. Have this ever been tried out?
Programming for accessibility is one of these things that I always fascinated me, and it makes me sad that support for it no longer matters for a lot of software developers. Maybe it's something I am going to try to do? Is there any documentation where to start with that?
I really want to make some PC sleeper build disgusted as oldy Unix workstation, with some Linux desktop (Debian probably) running ancient window manager like FVWM. Would be cool to surprise people with it running modern games, lol.
I really wish they had easier way to switch to newer version. It works for me, since it's not that hard to edit sources.list (or debian.sources nowadays), but I don't get why they don't make a tool that does a release upgrade like on Ubuntu. Could even list changes made to the sources file during execution for that matter.
I remember having 10 inch netbook. It was okay for a while, but I would never want to go back to 10 inch display on a laptop. It's just horrible to use. 13 inches is ideal for me =)
Then I don't know what are you smoking. From the taskbar, window decorations to system settings - it's very similar to how Windows 10 is designed, although with much less padding (by default, but it's a good thing).
There are also some settings for the taskbar to behave more like a Windows 11 one, if that's what you want.
Also as for icons they look much more modern than what's on Windows, at least for me.
It doesn't matter if it's prettier, when I need to spend twice the time to do some basic stuff because I need to move my mouse cursor half way through the fucking screen, at least in GNOME apps.
Just open the preferences/settings on KDE and you see nothing but pure chaos.
It looks fine to me. Everything is categorized nicely and you know where to find something you look for. I am not sure about GNOME Settings, because I have never used GNOME more than 30 minutes (because of annoyingly shitty UX), but it's at least much better than what Windows does.
