  • Only thing better than perfect is standard as they say, if everything uses the same shortcuts it doesn't matter if they're crap

    I've kept most of the same logic from windows keybinds on my hyprland config because then when I have to use a windows machine it's not completely backwards

  • If you can install nix (you can install it per user) then you can have whatever you want in a temporary shell with nix-shell -p python

    nix profile install nixpkgs#python if you want it actually installed

    Home manager is also entirely user level I believe and lets you use a declarative config too

  • Gnome calculator uses 103m, it's loading style sheets for themes, UI libraries that make it look nice and modern, scientific calculator features, keyboard shortcuts, nice graphical settings menu, touch screen and screen reader support etc

    I don't think in this day and age for all the niceties people are used to that's unreasonable.

    Also other calculators are available, some are bloated but I'm sure there's a rust or C one out there somewhere that uses a fraction of that with the bare minimum feature set

  • I think it'd be fair to consider them a sub race of orks, not much goofy lovability about Tolkien orks but you can't help but smile listening to Ork hijinks

    The orcs from orcs must die probably fit in a similar sub race

  • I don't think old=good is a good mentality though, lot of people seem to have it

    All the old software I know and use is exceptionally good, however I've heard about and chosen to use it because it's survived the test of time (also because it's still actively maintained and has had thousands of bug fixes over the years)

    Vscode and obsidian are pretty good and they're electron, discord's alright, pretty sure steam uses some kind of web wrapper as well.

    Real issue is electron is very accessible to inexperienced developers and easy to do badly, but I imagine people back in the old Unix days got an equal amount of shit bloated software

  • The only two things that have ever been broken by an update for me are hyprland and Nvidia drivers, multiple times

    Even then that seems to have stopped happening recently though they patched one of the reallg big issues this year
