Make a Linux app. Stop making distributions.
WDYM so I shouldn’t make an anime flavored, Arch based distro named Archuwu?
ETA iso, wen?
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
Reminds me of this
Where is it? Give it to me now

Bruh this is needed
You can make pony flavored Debian based distro named Derpian
You should, and you shouldn’t let anyone stop you!

Just please no more electron.
Are there other leptons I can create apps with?
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

Tauri is much better than Electron, but still not near close just native program. Let the web be simple, please.
Putting it on my list! Thanks
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
Make a Linux app, make a Linux distro, who cares…
How about you just let people do what they enjoy doing.
Yeah, this is obnoxious.
It’s also truly terrible at being persuasive.
Make a Linux app, not war.
The “Where to start” section should be a “Not You” meme, with Electron in the middle square

I’m curious what witchcraft Microsoft did with VSCode to make it so responsive and performant when no other electron app is.

The term to look up is Monaco. That’s the secret sauce part of VS Code that made it faster but I don’t know enough about it to describe it well
dont listen to the noise, make a distro
they have a fairly prolific blog, pretty cool
Is this site insane? On Linux I have access to so many more applications than other platforms. Sorry apple, ios apps repeating the same thing infinitely doesn’t count.
Yeah I recently went back to Linux as a daily driver and was blown away how easy stuff like flatpaks made it to do everything I need quickly. That wasn’t the case last time I used Linux for something more than a quick and dirty VM host.
You are comparing Apples to oranges. While it may be true that Linux may have more software available, in my experience macOS has a shit ton of productivity software as well, and many times, due to being for-profit, of higher quality. That’s exactly why I’ve been thinking about giving my own try to making a launcher like Raycast for Linux.
Can completely agree. On Apple systems I can find a ton of productivity and editing software, but no luck doing things like file operations or automating. On Linux I can find absolutely anything related to processing data, customization, science or protocol clients, but no luck finding good note taking tool.
It’s fun and games… until you get lots of “…just like X command?” commentaries from randoms. Until you get sick of such and decide to do something non-productive instead. Unless there is money included in the former.
t. Been there, done that.
“Yes, exactly like this 🦆 command I didn’t know of before.”
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)_/¯
I’m sorry but no AUR mention?
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…
Just make a webapp, lol.
Maybe we need a new distro that comes with vscode installed so we don’t have to do it!
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.
