Ahh, that makes more sense, thanks!

They’re 30 years old after 8 years of operation?

It could. The removal of “transparency” indicates to me that the clients might also stop being open source at some point and Vaultwarden doesn’t have its own clients.

Damn, WSJ really succeeded in their campaign

What’s being recommended is LibreTranslate, which isn’t the same. LibreTranslate is server software. On Android, you can use “Translate You”. I co-maintain Dialect, which is an app for Linux. We host a server at https://lt.dialectapp.org/ , so feel free to make use of it.

GTK4 apps and libadwaita apps are different though. You can theme both as well.

Regarding Wayland, I wonder why features still vary so wildly, even with projects like wlroots. Do WMs just not care enough?

Scrolling in Qt apps in general isn’t great. Still no inertial scrolling for example.

Portals. Ask app devs to fix stuff

Are you talking about desktop use?

“10 years ago” would mean the year is 2015. By then, there were no 30 search bars, generally no viruses just by connecting to the internet and speeds were also acceptable or more than acceptable. And 2015 was unquestionably a better time for the internet.

Yeah OC’s argument seems very shallow to me. Where does spider-man even fall in all this? The typical spidey depiction is a broke kid who isn’t even sure he wants to be a superhero. What does that make him?

Zed with all the AI stuff turned off is surprisingly nice

There are pretty much no support systems in place for situations like this in most places. So, exile can mean starvation and more where I’m from. I don’t know about where OP is from though.

Nix is a great suggestion and I think i will be using it moving forward as well. Thanks. Ideally I want to use NixOS, do you know if secure boot is still a pain point with NixOS?

npm is JS-specific

I don’t want to use a distro package manager for certain software because nearly every distro except Arch requires adding third party repositories which can stop getting updates at any second.

Don’t worry, I understand the intricacies of these problems a lot more deeply than you probably realise. As a developer, it can suck when your “hotfix” cools down by the time a distro gets around to packaging it. And as a packager, you’re human in the end. As a user though, you just want stuff to work.

As a longtime Linux user, this isn’t really a problem for me, none of this is. But what about a new user? We need to address these issues at some point if we want Linux to be truly user-friendly.

What’s a good package manager right now for stuff like this if i don’t want to use the distro package manager though? I want up to date versions of these tools, ideally shipped by the devs themselves, with easy removal and updates. Is there any right now? I think Homebrew is like that? But I wish it didn’t need creating an entire new user and worked on a user account basis.

In an ideal world, i would want to use these tools in such a way that I can uninstall them, including any tool data (cache, config, etc), and update them in a reliable manner. Most of these tools are also hellbent on creating a new “.<tool-name>” folder or file in the home folder ignoring the XDG spec.
