Make a Linux app. Stop making distributions.
Why make new apps, we should be focusing on rewriting everything in Rust /s
Just please no more electron.
Can”t we just re-write Electron in Rust and then use it for everything else? /s
You’re only half sarcastic, I can tell!
And they did apparently. It’s called Tauri
Are there other leptons I can create apps with?
Obviously the version of Electron re-written in Rust would be Muon.

Tauri is much better than Electron, but still not near close just native program. Let the web be simple, please.
They will rewrite rust in electron
We already sort of did, it’s called tauri
Rewrote electron in rust you mean!
yeah you’re right, wasn’t fully awake I guess
WDYM so I shouldn’t make an anime flavored, Arch based distro named Archuwu?
UwUntu needs some competition
I can totally picture this. Cutesy sound effects, characters pulling up/down menus, sparkle effects…
Where can I get it?Thanks
You can make pony flavored Debian based distro named Derpian
Electron? Really? At this point you should pick web app.
An app is an app, and my computer will take it all the same. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Make a Linux app, make a Linux distro, who cares…
How about you just let people do what they enjoy doing.
Make a Linux app, not war.
Yeah, this is obnoxious.
It’s also truly terrible at being persuasive.
Its not like there many Windows “Apps” being made. Almost everything these days is web based on the desktop.
No wonder when installing anything on Windows have so much friction compared to Linux and MacOS. Every program have it’s own installer and updater, bundling dependencies with no deduplication making simpliest program heavy. Like, when writing a Python program you are supposed to bundle Python or user would need to install it manually.
GNOME created awesome app ecosystem recently. I have hundreds of them installed, no slowdowns or problems with space, all updated in single menu with quick search which one I want. Apps on desktops have even more sense than on mobile, as they can benefit from less isolation and more integration with rich filesystem and system functions.
How about instead of making yet another Linux distro, you just make an install script instead? I’m personally more likely to try out an install script over a totally pointless ISO…
The “Where to start” section should be a “Not You” meme, with Electron in the middle square
Electron can be done well, like vscode does. In saying that, it almost never seems to happen
Didn’t they basically take all the slow bits and rewrite them in not electron?
I’m interested in new distributions, but it really needs to do something new. Different default packages with a handful of custom things on top of an existing distro just doesn’t cut it. Give me a NixOS, Puppy Linux, ReactOS(I know it’s not a distro) or something else unique. I’m tired of Debian/Ubuntu based distros, if I wanted Debian or Ubuntu, I would use them.
dont listen to the noise, make a distro
I’d been playing with the idea of building a Linux app. I used Post Haste on Windows to help me organise footage but haven’t found a substitute on Linux yet.
Why bother making Linux apps if people think that LibreOffice is a 1:1 replacement for MS Office and everything is perfect already?
Certainly perfect.

Oh yes, I certainly blame them, however how hard is it to get the spacing on a bullet list correct? Fucks sake.

So you’re telling me MS Word that actually invented the format and it is the most popular document editor is doing it wrong. lol

What a fucking joke. As someone well known once said, if you’re a bug on a software and people start leveraging it and depending on it then it isn’t a bug, it is a feature - the same goes for MS Office, since it has the largest user base and the standard actually came from there then what it renders is actually the correct thing no matter what you may think.
Yes the ODF is obviously a better standard than OOXML and that’s because ODF was designed from the ground up after seeing the fuckups MS did for years while trying to get something to work. It’s very easy to point fingers after the fact, same way it’s easy to know the lottery numbers of last week’s draw but not for next week’s.
Suprise, if going the other way around it also would be broken.
