Just reminding everyone that Lutke is a right-wing shitheel, and that he and Shopify explicitly platform, support and make money from Nazism.

Carry on.

It sadly doesn’t quite work right on KDE. You can get close: you can show an application launcher, or a exposé-like window overview, or a pager, but you can’t show all of them at once in a way that’s easy to work with between like Gnome does.

Heck, even Gnome regressed Gnome 40, as you don’t get the vertical desktop overview any more. At least there’s shell extensions that let me get Gnome 3’s behaviour back.

It’s a real pity, because I like KDE, and definitely the KDE apps, more, but the Super-key overview is no hard to quit.

The only reason I don’t use KDE is because it doesn’t do the super-key expose/dash/overview like Gnome.

Because Google was so focused and strategic before the pandemic rollseyes.

The issue is Google’s broken governance and incentive system, which gives product owners and executives incentives for new products and actively disincentivizes maintaining and improving existing products…and that was a thing from well before the pandemic hit.

It’s why Google launched three pay systems and had five messaging systems at the same time.

And, finally, this is all because of the strategy set by senior leaders.

Stable means different things in different contexts.

Debian being stable is like RHEL being stable. You’re not jury talking about “doesn’t crash”, you’re talking about APIS, behaviours, features and such being assured not to change.

That’s not necessarily a good thing for a general purpose desktop, but for an enterprise workstation or server, yes.

So it’s not so much that Debian would replace Fedora, it’s the Debian would replace RHEL or CentOS. For a Fedora equivalent, there’s Ubuntu and the like.

Debian Stable.

It’s always the answer to "what distro do I want to use when I care about stability and support-ability.

How much of this is decline at the expense of Windows 11, due to Steam lowering barriers to entry, fatigue with Windows’ hard selling, and/or extending the useful like of hardware that W11 abandoned.

The wealthy really didn’t like seeing labour getting off its knees during the pandemic and they’re stomping down hard lest we get a taste for it.

It’s shocking how this focus on quarterly stock price increases and other financial chicanery has left the West unable to plan and execute more than a few months in advance…

Stick a fork in it, it’s done.

Life imitates art.
