Those two and nix-alien.

A lot of features of the Nix package manager, such as having multiple versions of a package installed, don't work with FHS.

Most apps work fine, apps that don't get put in a FHS sandbox.

People shitting on the game are so much more annoying than people praising it. Obviously it's not going to kill pokemon, no shit. It's still a fun game. The progression is solid, and its fun collecting cute creatures. The whole reason it blew up is because it was surprising that what was thought to be a meme game released with the amount of quality and depth it has.

Use vesktop. Works great on Wayland and supports streaming with audio.

Why would that effect whether or not they would use it?

It has very positive reviews so far

It also imo runs really well for how good it looks. I'm really impressed because it ran horribly in the closed beta, they did an impressive job optimizing it.

You're right, they said the desktop shell, which is still incorrect, but I guess a little less incorrect. My bad.

Honestly, I disagree with Heroic not being good enough, I think it's the only other launcher on Linux that is. It's very polished and everything has worked out of the box for me. The problem is simply that it's unofficial, no company would ship it on a gaming device.

That might happen if any other launcher chooses to natively support Linux. Right now Steam is the best option.

Incredibly excited to try it. I love the early support for Nix, I plan to run it as soon as a NixOS module becomes available!

Huge props to the design team here, the aesthetic looks amazing on all of the apps I've tried. They all feel consistent and look great.

Lemmy is FOSS and largely used by anticapitalist tech nerds (I say this positively). Chrome is one of the most significant monopolies in tech. I don't know why you wouldn't expect this to be a common topic.

Firefox can always compete, because if it ever stopped existing Google would have an antitrust case on their hands. For the same reason, Google cannot violate web standards, like what has happened in previous browser wars.

I don't agree that Firefox is unable to render a portion of the web, I've been using it for years and have never once run into a website that had a problem with my browser. I thought once that studentaid.gov did, but that turned out to be a problem with extensions. I've seen more websites that have issues with me using Linux than with Firefox.

Yes, using Asahi Linux. Its not perfect, but very usable.

You don't get to decide what too much JS in the project is unless you actually work on and have in depth knowledge of the project. I dont like JS, but it has its uses.

Many people are conflating modern electron bloatware with 'JS bad', but things are not that simple.

That page also shows that there is more C. That page is also specifically the shell, not all of the desktop.

Using JavaScript isn't inherently a bad thing. JavaScript can be very useful when used for scripting. Obviously anything with a new for performance will be done in C.

Closer to 50/50, and other parts of the GNOME desktop like mutter, are largely C. Saying the entire GNOME desktop is mostly JS is silly.

GNOME is primarily written in C
