Rust is a memory-safe language. So in this case, it could result in more stable software.

It’s likely many users still use Automator (which is from 2005). Removing it could break workflows for many people if removed. There’s a bunch of older apps in macOS like this. The latest version of macOS still has AirPort Utility, for example.

I’m sure she was super impressed.

Until you actually try to use Vulkan on macOS. Since there’s no native support, you end up needing MoltenVK.

Great. Time to update Nginx on my vacuum.

Look at money man over here. Showing off his two tongs.

This is common with these Linux on Android-based phones. I believe Ubuntu Touch requires you to downgrade to Android 9 in most cases.

An "Advanced Mode" along with an alert to warn the user is what I was thinking.

I’m pretty sure 95% of people don’t even know what Windows is. It’s just part of the computer to them.

There’s nothing wrong with the software itself. It works great for what it does. On the other hand, it’s a compatibility layer, which always increases friction between things a little. I think the best use for this is running legacy software.

There aren’t many alternatives. Maybe in the future, we’ll see graphics API abstraction libraries like wgpu get used more. This gives developers a single API which can use DirectX on Windows, Vulkan on Linux, or Metal on macOS. This could allow support for entirely new graphics APIs without developers using it having to do anything.

Of course, that’s my opinion. People can build their software how they like.

It’s so odd how proprietary software is frowned upon so much in this community, but no one cares when it comes to gaming.

Have an update that completely breaks everything on your system? Just revert to the previous image and it’s no problem.

These immutable distros have so much potential. Especially for the tech illiterate. I really encourage anyone who hasn’t yet to give them a shot.

Of course they aren’t for everybody, as it makes it far harder to make system-level changes on the local system.

This is my complaint as well. KDE certainly has advantages and neat design ideas, but I always come across some major bugs that make my device unusable.

Definitely not saying GNOME doesn’t have bugs as well though.

Throw in upgradable processors too.

Funnily enough, I’ve got a pretty well-loved ThinkPad T480 16 GB 8350U sitting right here. Used to be my main development laptop. Now it’s just an agent for Portainer.

Either that or they have 20 useless extensions.

You don’t carry a laptop around while you’re hiking?

Gives a surprisingly good Bedrock experience on Linux and macOS. Just needs you to own the game on the Google Play Store.

Not only that, you asked for their opinions.
