A mass ditch, if you will

Didn’t plasma have a theme for that already though?

That’s was weirdly aggressive. I’m trying to understand motive and you respond with dismissal, which means you either considered the inquiry an attack or that this project is actually dumb and that is not a satisfying answer.

Instead of chasing the dismissal and turning this into an internet slap fight among the most limp-wristed on Lemmy, let’s get back to my question: why do this?

Does this solve a UX issue? Is there some incredible performance advantage? Does it solve a problem? Is it an interesting technical challenge where something shouldn’t be possible but a neurodivergent paused his Minecraft videos and said hold my beer unconvincingly? Why was this done? Help me tune into what makes this impressive.

Omarchay disagrees in the weirdest possible way, which is why you got my updoot

Yes but no. I ask myself on any Linux package “does this solve a problem?”

Why? Plasma was rough around v4 if I remember correctly but it’s great now.

It’s money laundering. Thats all.

Version 11 didn’t make that market share happen. It inherited that from win XP

I remember it being shockingly quick on old hardware too.

Solus is still around? I thought it died.

There’s something weirdly beautiful in the fact that wine can take a kernel that divys out tasks to the real host OS efficiently. By the time it lands, hardware barely sneezes at the added overhead.

A forgotten Linux distro with cursed liscensing

I did this for a friends buisness when we build a small rack for frigate, backup, etc. it’s been great. Cost more up front but I am super envious of her build.

That’s exactly what I was thinking too. I might actually look more into this once I get my frigate build under control.

Linux is growing for a reason. People don’t enjoy their machines anymore. Windows, Mac, Android, it’s a hostage situation. People are motivated to move away. If BeOS were pitched today it would have a shot. That’s how much people hate tech now.

There’s a reason investors smell blood in the water.

So is omarchy just Nazi SCO?

Game over. User wins.

SDDM

If you wanted, you could make a clean and capable boot picker like Apple does with their macs and frankly every hackintosh does. But we don’t. Because nerdcore is a thing.

If you dont care about hinges sure
