Why doesn’t my Lemmy comment box show shortcut hints? How will I know the shortcut for copy, cut and paste? I tried pressing alt+6 but it did nothing. Curse you Ecmascript from 1997!
Micro doesn’t need to list the shortcuts because it uses similar shortcuts to notepad and you don’t have to do weird ctrl+x to exit but ctrl+q (for quit). Also copy and pasting isn’t a nightmare in it.
It runs on embedded systems but also on “normal” computers. It’s not an OS but moreso a server/database which communicates messages between different programs.
Windows doesn’t have these issues. Not that I use Windows for development stuff, but you can usually install any .exe for Windows10 on Windows 11. Even older stuff frequently still works and only sometimes requires running in compatibility mode.
The problem is that there’s so many different ways of packaging and also that Windows generally does static linking so old binaries work after a decade. Whereas old Linux binaries are generally dynamically linked and are dependent on some other old library which isn’t availible for [current kernel] and you get into dependency hell
I tried that once but there were so many dependencies that it became a nightmare. Eventually I just went back to Ubuntu from all the headaches because I want to use software not struggle to compile it.
Not to mention every tutorial using apt as an installer and having to replace it with “yum” or “pacman” at every copy paste gets tedious very quickly.
Containers are trash. Always have issues passing through devices like GPU or USB. I’ve tried it for a while but at some point you want to get work done instead of having to find out how to pass through all devices

Previous targets seem pretty good.
Not sure why they’re going for Ubuntu now but maybe they can kill snaps once and for all
