Thanks for the fun rabbit hole. They can't really solve the halting problem though, you can make an oracle solve the halting problem for a turning machine but not for itself. Then of course you can make another oracle machine that solves the halting problem for that oracle machine, and so on and so forth, but an oracle machine can never solve its own halting problem.
Because android focuses on one app per screen, having a main launcher makes sense. But for windows, that idea doesn't really translate. You can download programs to replace or change certain aspects, like rain meter or classic shell, but I don't think anything exists that bothers to overhaul everything.
There is a similar thing to launchers on Linux though, called desktop environments. These will change the behavior and ui of the entire desktop experience.
Yeah I draw over a lot of pdfs so that support is pretty important. The UI isn't great but I can at least customize it, and I've gotten it to a place I'm happy with.
I wanted a small device to take notes on for school, but that I could also do development on for my cs classes. Got a surface go 3, put fedora (gnome) on it, added the surface kernel, and it's honestly a better tablet experience than windows. I use xournal++ for notetaking and the stylus and touchscreen all work great.
Yeah I agree email kinda sucks. But everyone still uses it, and (as far as I'm aware) people aren't writing articles about how confusing email is for people and why that makes it a failure. Mastodon and Lemmy are, in comparison, much better and way less confusing but you see that said all the time about them.
#1 is just not being the default for 99% of devices. If someone gets a new computer, why would they go through the effort of installing a new os when the one it comes with works fine? Hell, I bet at least 50% of people in the market for a pc don't even know what an OS is.
Ah, yeah that would make sense. You can always just keep a copy of ungoogled chromium. Some of those might even support web apps, which would make sense for a cloud gaming site.
What websites don't work? I've only had warnings for some test taking sites (although usually it works fine anyway.) If there's no actual compatibility issues and it's just enforcing it for the sake of it this should do the trick.
Instantly getting the (positive) effects of a full 8 hour sleep. Would be nice to just randomly get a boost in energy, or sometimes not have to worry about sleeping.
