As a Dart developer myself you won’t have any problem with VS code and Dart. Actually, it’s a bit better than on Windows because it was originally not much of a windows centric system anyways

What? VS Code is available on Linux and that’s what they’re using

Furiously googles immigration opportunities

No, but they actually do write some patches and they also do all the menial work, testing and verification to keep a piece of software serviceable for 10 years

If you think it’s easy, go and attempt it yourself. The greatest cure for people talking shit about needed effort, according to my experience…

Red Hat and SUSE also charge for extended support, it’s literally the only fucking way to make money off of a distro

Canonical still offers 5 years standard at the enormous cost of 0.0$

Read the original blog post. The slower devices are the biggest devices some parts of the world rely on because they can’t afford anything better. This makes them excluded from the “modern” web.

The blog this test is originally from

A lot of butthurt techbros getting cockblocked here lmao

having a stable base helps. Also, config breakage can happen without user intervention. See Gentoo or Arch’s NOTICE updates

That’s the same on ANY platform, but windows is far worse because most apps ship a DLL and -never- update the damn thing. With Linux, it’s a little bit more transparent. (edit: unless you do the stupid shit and link statically, but again in the brave new world of Rust and Go having 500 Mb binaries for a 5 Kb program is acceptable)

Also, applications use the API/ABI of a particular library. Now, if the developers of the said library actually change something in the library’s behavior with an update, your app won’t work it no more unless you go and actually update your own code and find everything that’s broken.

So as you can understand, this is a maintenance burden. A lot of apps delegate this to a later time, or something that happens sometimes with FOSS is that the app goes unmaintained somewhat, or in some cases the app customizes the library so much, that you just can’t update that shit anymore. So you fix on a particular version of the library.

Because the older alternatives are hacky, laggy, buggy, and quite fundamentally insecure. X.Org’s whole architecture is a mess, you practically have to go around the damn thing to work it (GLX). It should’ve been killed in 2005 when desktop compositing was starting to grow, but the FOSS community has a way with not updating standards fast enough.

Hell, that’s kinda the reason OpenGL died a slow death, GL3 had it released properly would’ve changed everything

Debian systems are verified to work properly without subtle config breakages. You can run Debian practically unattended for a decade and it’s chug along. For people who prefer their device to actually work, and not just be a maintenance princess, it’s ideal.

Bull fucking shit if you used windows in the old days you must have had a foot stuck up MSDOS 's 16bit ass

You should just keep to Linux Mint if you don’t want to learn distro config inside and out, it’s literally what it’s designed for, don’t listen to trolls who say you should run fucking Arch

(Debian is not easy as well. Ubuntu exists because Debian was too hard to install lol actually if you deep down inside it’s even more complicated)

Yes. I’ve used X11 for far too long to have any rose tinted glasses for the piece of fucking broken shit it always was. a LOT of people don’t realize how many hacks, workarounds and sheer tears and duct tape goes into making the piece of shit render the smallest line on the screen.

That’s also why Phoronix comment section neckbeards are so infuriating for me. They talk like X.Org works like at all.

Themes are very powerful beings in KDE. they can install SDDM themes and scripts, they can set Kvantum themes, custom parameters for other parts of the system etc.

You can’t really do that shit without scripting

Xiaomi doesn’t have an app store. It’s possible that you’re tripping off the “counterfeit app detection” and it’s sending a request to Google Play and installs from there.

This mechanism even tho inconvenient for you is a life saver in countries with lower tech literacy because malware versions of popular massanger apps were very widespread

Refer to an earlier post on the downsides of flatpak, Snap basically doesn’t have a lot of those issues other than the fundamental ones regarding a canonical far package

You may have used Snaps when they used XZ compression. XZ is a stellar compressor, but for static data. It compresses better at the cost of being slower, nowadays Snaps use fast algorithms tuned for faster decompression, so it starts a lot faster.
