It does not reduces maintenance.

It absolutely does, package maintainers just have to maintain ONE package for all distros.

And it costs hard drive, and with heavy use, probably ram too

This isn’t performance really, it’s storage, and I don’t think it actually impacts ram.

Maintenance is only reduced on the surface level. The complexity you don’t see as a problem is the actual maintenance problem. It’s not a problem only if you’re not the one dealing with integration, maintenance or security.

This is a case you’re going to have to try a lot harder to make, I don’t see what you’re saying at all.

But this one in particular vastly reduces maintenance, doesn’t do anything at all to performance, and only arguably adds complexity, I think it needs to be case by case.

It’s just a weird linux distro that you install atop your distro, honestly, I have no idea why you think that.

For beginners KDE is much more familiar, and is generally the better pick regardless. I’m not saying this is the best choice for everyone, but it’s the best choice when you don’t know anything.

Flatpak is infinitely easier for people who don’t know what they’re doing, because it’s sandboxed and separate from the native system. If you know what you’re doing it’s different though, I don’t use them personally.

No it was a specific version of 4o and I’m pretty sure they rolled it back.

Be preinstalled on laptops/desktops.

everything else is ready unless you use niche software. Most people just use a browser and word or a pdf editor.

note the distro MUST be an immutable up to date kde flatpak using one for normal people, however

Hard disagree, this and dealing with scammers are two of the best ones.

That’s pathetic.

This may be a valid usecase for AI, too

Well, that’s a bad argument, this is all a guess on your part that is impossible to prove, you don’t know how empathy or the human brain work, so you don’t know it isn’t computable, if you can explain these things in detail, enjoy your nobel prize. Until then what you’re saying is baseless conjecture with pre-baked assumptions that the human brain is special.

conversely I can’t prove that it is computable, sure, but you’re asserting those feelings you have as facts.

Empathy is not illogical, behaving empathetically builds trust and confers longterm benefits.

also the notion that an ai must behave logically is not sound.

Thats bizarre, does it happen on every mouse you plug in?

Hyprland just added this fyi

Appimages are the equivalent and seamless in my experience

I highly recommend bazzite or aurora if you want an actual solution, linux mint will probably never fix this

Citizens-united-chan crying in the corner

And ontop of that, they have no incentive to work on performance, if they made it better you’d have less of a reason to upgrade your machine, they want to slowly make performance worse and worse to maximize this effect

Ipad is 2 dollars.
