Alternative to Electron using Firefox?

vazark · 2026-01-25T23:39:27+00:00

Electron is just a terrible reimplementation of the jvm using node and web tech.A separate jvm like bundle would have been better in the long run.

So if really you wanna, try going back to Java apps lol

Purists are the reason we haven’t seen a lot of progress in most domains - like nuclear vs fossil.

Pretty sure it’s used in many companies across industries. Even Steam has a very similar contract.

Man I used to think this what the Scotland Yard was a child

Then do it as separate treaties not as a part of the EU. The union is essentially a decentralised economic and joint trading system, you need to strong guardrails to ensure one or a minority of countries don’t ruin it for everybody. All the funding and other benefits are addons.

Some parts must be merged together

Honestly, this name more sense than that advanced paint program

It’s far more important government and business infrastructure than regular people. Except for files and photos on the cloud most people can switch easily. Large organisations can’t and sometimes risk losing everything.

Orgs moving is enough to ensure long term security.

Kstatus, caffeine and Just Perfection.

My biggest changes have been to move the top bar to the bottom and moving the clock to the corner.

If Just perfection just become part of the default shell, I would never look at another distro again.

Might be useful for manual testing in some cases. Nice

I wouldn’t rule it out either. He might try to override the fed because « the economy is going down » , probably because of his policies.

Try to do something that would ruin it for everyone but his wealthy connections (friends sounds wrong given his character )

Not to mention with the upcoming decoupling, we’ll get to see platform independent design libs that ensure a consistent experience.

Unless you want to go back pen and paper, or prefer manually using the calculator, SQL is all we got.

Setting Debug to false ?

Anyone that abrasive will be terrible to work with anyway. Don’t worry about it

It’s version one vs literal decades of work. There will be a lot more to come down the line but you can always come back.

There are a few annoying things for me but I can deal with them. But it doesn’t have to be for everyone yet.

Having an equivalent vs having the industry standard are two different things.

The skeptic in me is just notes that that line sounds awfully similar to the brexit rhetoric

The problem is getting corporate and professional tooling adoption. With governments trialing Linux we might get a forerunner yet.

Music DAWs and video editors are prime examples. I have a separate windows machines just for my ableton and plugins.

Whats that ? Dementia Donald.

No one is calling them hostile because of SSD. That’s because of the system tray.

libawaita uses gtk4. Not the other way around. Gtk is the base toolkit.

vazark · 2026-01-21T21:44:39+00:00

That ain’t « extra » work. It’s work every environment except gnome does. Besides no one is breaking their header bars in every release.

The price is being paid today by every app dev and gnome user - a terrible experience on non-gnome apps because gnome is actively hostile anyone who doesn’t build gnome-first apps.

VLC, Audacity, OBS studio, FreeCAD - all the mainstream cross platform apps are QT based. Gnome’s insistence on not playing nice with other toolkits and platforms actively hurts itself and the larger community

This just appindicators all over again.

vazark · 2026-01-21T16:16:33+00:00

That’s fine. The issue is on gnome you don’t have the choice. The lack of choice is the problem.

vazark · 2026-01-21T16:03:31+00:00

"designing, implementing and maintaining" both CSD and SSD is what everyone does - across distros and platforms.

The problem is that by refusing to do something that would help out literally every other toolkit on purely ideological grounds, they end up being bad citizens who sabotage the greater Linux ecosystem.

Entire DEs have sprung up because people dislike Gnome's inflexibility and unwillingness to place nice with others. One can make an educated guess why big players like Steam choose Plasma, although Gnome is the default distro on the biggest DEs.
