The "coined the term" thing is what threw me off. I thought this was making fun of the name, like KDE already had some "365" branded product or something. But reading the comments, I take its intention as more making fun of the concept of a cloud-based desktop.
I think that's a kbin thing, where any time you reply to a comment, your comment includes an @ to that comment's author. I think the only one they intended to "ping" was butterface
If this is from website hits, then people like me are going to be unintentionally skewing things in Windows's favor, as my browser always fingerprints as running on Windows.
Well yeah, the Ally has somewhat "bespoke" hardware. Not to say that the dev didn't have to do some extra work to even get it working on Aya devices, but at this point in time, I think my statement of "pretty much" anything still stands. Though given the fact that this thread is about the "future" default, maybe I shouldn't be talking about "this point in time".
SteamOS has been out on Steam Deck for 18 months, but still no general release in sight. I wouldn't hold my breath. I think we'll just have to continue to make do with the likes of ChimeraOS/Nobara.
If you think about it, any developer could have their account hacked and the attacker upload an APK that includes malware. Obtainium isn't doing any malware scan or building from source or anything. If you are planning to just install from GitHub anyway, Obtainium should be a no-brainer. But I can see where might argue that having a middleman like F-Droid to validate APK integrity has some merits.
I don't even know why that video is there. At first glance, you might think it's a video explaining how Obtainium works. But it's actually a video about how to manually set up an RSS feed of the apps you use from GitHub. This video is just what had inspired the developer to make Obtainium.
F-Droid installs an APK that F-Droid compiled. Obtainium installs an APK that the app developer themselves compiled. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
It's more than just privacy. It allows you to visit .onion sites, which will not load in a traditional browser. As a harmless example, this is Duck Duck Go: https://duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion/. Trying to click that in a normal browser doesn't work because they don't support the onion network. But using the Tor browser unlocks that as well as all sorts of nefarious sites that you can't access through a "normal browser"
