  • Not OP, but Is that bait? Lol, it’s written in rust for a start!

    Kidding aside, it’s not “better.” I switched to alacritty from urxvt years ago because it was easier to configure and came with the promise of speed. I tried out kitty when it was new and still a bit raw, but haven’t given it another fair shot.

    Ghostty is also on my list to try now too.






  • I’d love to think so too, but I think our echo chamber is pretty tight.

    I certainly think they’re ready for mainstream usage (I have one Bazzite install myself), but I don’t think there’s significant awareness beyond the dedicated fan base.

    There aren’t really any actually useful metrics that I know of, but the only one of the 3 I’ve mentioned that broke into distrowatch’s top 100 is Bazzite, and that’s only in the last few months.

    And for legal threats: I doubt any court in any country will give credence to that. Fedora is MIT licensed.


  • That’s certainly part of the motivation (see the 4th paragraph).

    Yes, image based. No, not Bazzite specifically, but silverblue (and kinoite) under the fedora banner directly.

    But that’s not really the point of the article. In order for those to go mainstream, flatpak and especially flathub have a lot of maturing to do first, and the author lays out a pretty good roadmap with thorough explanations.









  • Copy paste of one one of the 2 comments that reflects my feelings.

    This kind of thing frustrates me so much. Hiring and interviewing for software engineers is just so broken and detached from reality.

    In theory, this should be the easiest discussion to pass while interviewing if you’ve done some kind of related work or qualified. Instead it’s just turning into another insane cargo culted game where you need to do things according to some weird rules and hit certain buzzwords.

    Engineering the hiring process is the perfect example of how tech solutioning can be the problem.
