- Java was supposed to save us as the multiplatform tech
- Then people started abusing multiplatform engines like Unity
- Now we're at browser-as-a-platform with Electron at the forefront

Oh yeah, I forgot about QT. Used it only once :blobfoxterrified:

VSCode runs on Electron, so we're all pretty much doomed.

Sorry for the random rant. But yeah, if everything is multiplatform, hopefully a proper Linux distro will rise up.

But I agree that specialized apps will be the main problem. :ablobcatnodmeltcry:

@yon@sakurajima.moe @anianimalsmoe@sakurajima.moe @chikorita157@sakurajima.moe sorry for barging in, and i'm not guaranteeing that i'd help but just out of pure curiosity - what demands do u have that aren't being met (by Linux) if u don't mind me asking?

@irfan Yeah the problem with just grabbing the latest of everything all the time is that it breaks, and it requires an awful lot of bandwidth sadly:(

I’d like a happy medium. I think homebrew for MacOS is great for instance. I know they have to for Linux as well, but I fear it lacks in user base.

Oh, and I don’t use Windows at all. In fact I don’t like any Windows GUIisms and am very disappointed in any distro that tries to make Windows users feel at home. Opposite effect on me :)
