Of course, but my thinking is sort of that for example, when it comes to Linux distros, there's no longer any meaningful difference even between Ubuntu or Fedora or Arch for casual users; since applications now tend to be containerised or be web-based. Distro choice may not relevant afterwards.

So you don't see traditional native apps running on specific OSes or even cross-OSes as being obsolete for quite some time?

I get that for servers, you'll run it headless. I forgot to mention that I'm referring to casual desktop users.

insisting to use terminals even in situations where it’s stupid

I mean I'm a novice at using the terminal, but what are situations where it's stupid to use it? I can think of many situations where having GUIs would objectively be better or necessary, like using specifically graphical software like video editing, but can you share with me the situations where it's stupid to use the terminal?

but there are reasons to care and people who will

I agree with you, that's why I stick with Linux (or GNU/Linux if you prefer). I'm talking about years into the future, where our paradigm of building software is using web applications, rather than traditional native applications. SaaS stuff. I don't know if OS choice will still be "relevant".

Of course, without an operating system, all you have is hardware and other devices. But I meant for the casual desktop user, this does not really matter for them I don't think. I'm sorry, I forgot to put it in the question. Obviously operating systems must exist, I get that, but I mean that for a desktop user, who treats their computers as bootloaders to the browser, so to speak, will different operating systems be relevant for them, i.e. the majority of users?

For me it's Flatpaks at the moment. Adhering to FOSS means that I try to avoid Snap. AppImages are pretty good, since it's just an executable (and I think there's an AppImage updater as well?), but Flatpak is preferred for me since I like the idea of having containerised systems because it's easily manageable under this sort of central manager, i.e. Flatpak. I typically just install everything using Flatpak and update through that.

Oo faham2, saya pun baru tau apps tu. Nanti saya try :D

Betul!

Oo so dia constructed language macam Esperanto? Tapi dia sort of mini language? Ini sebab saya just skim through google search je. Kenapa minat Toki Pona tu?

Memang pakai browser saja atau ada pakai desktop/mobile clients?

Tulah saya perasan juga, community sini berbeza sikit. Pace of new uploads pun lain juga, lebih slow (naturally).

Toki Pona tu apa benda ya? Haha maaf saya tak tahu

I see! Sounds fun. Maybe I'll switch to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Just maybe.

[–] mafbar 1 points 2 years ago

I see! Okay :D

Hahah, probably kebanyakan yang guna Lemmy ni ideologically motivated, saya faham jugak. Tech savy ke? Ada pakai Mastodon jugak?
