For another conversation I need some evidence of that, where did you find it?

What languages are you wanting to use, the combination between toolkit and language can make a big difference to your experience.

There are a lot of interesting options out there that aren’t top of people’s minds too. For instance Lazarus, and Flutter. Both can do cross platform.

I feel like there is some cause to list CS degrees and their position on Unix and Linux. awesome-linux-cs repo?

Back before the media decided it wasn’t a competitor but rather a potential profit source. I do think the government does need to have it’s own alternatives (obviously not identical more on this one day) for other reasons, such as for it’s own media releases, but more internationally coordinated appropriate & considered legislation is probably better.

I like the idea and have been meaning to build / find something like this however this does a little too much and in not quite the way I want. But it’s cool for those who need this exact implementation.

That can happen if you make a major change such as major update to the binaries (ie a software update) while the screen is locked. Or because the screen “saver” / “locker” crashed.

Sounds like a regulatory solution is needed. The intersection where domestic policy impacts international.

Moved from Gentoo to Ubuntu in 2008 as I needed to focus more on my job, moved back to Gentoo in 2022. Snaps were part of it, but really the lack of maintenance and vision around the apt repository was really the issue. More and more I was installing stray debs, or having to use flatpaks / AppImages for what what I wanted the system to manage for me.

Not that I’ve entirely stopped using flatpaks or AppImages, but the process of creating an ebuild is far simpler than trying to do anything with a deb. For a while I had hope about the ppa, however that became fewer and fewer. I do think that the battle to have a comprehensive software repository is a loosing one because of the way things are currently structured.

As in part of a review process?

Things like:

• Software update process
• Installing software which isn’t in a repository
• Seeing how the community is for support ?

This. Although I’m not sure if it’s about in-app display, but it needs to be on the store and on a website somewhere.
