  • Finally. ChromeOS has always been a dumb idea. Making an entire OS just to use sluggish web apps in Chrome. Who thought of that? As if Android could not do web apps. Then, years later, ChromeOS got “native” apps, in quotation marks because those were just Android apps. So a whole dedicated OS, just to launch Android apps in a compatibility layer. Some additional years later, ChromeOS got “native” games via Steam. Again, quotation marks, because those run in a Debian-based container.

    Samsung DeX shows since many years that a Android with a desktop UI is a possibility.


  • there were significant issues with 0.19.4

    I don’t know. There’s severe lack of communication regarding such things.

    there are still some issues that are important for us

    Such as? There’s no communication here of what’s going on.

    0.19.6 was released 10 days ago and already had a followup release 0.19.7 to fix some new issues that were introduced in 0.19.6.

    No software is ever free of bugs, especially not one starting with a zero version number.

    if there are any laws stating that this is required to be possible as self-service i’d love to see references for that, because for all i know this is not the case.

    Privacy laws here in Germany and probably the rest of the EU say that ther must be no avoidable delay in the deletion request of user data. 0.19.5 and newer have that feature, therefore by choosing not to update there has to be an avoidable delay.

    That said, there is no communication of news and roadmaps. Maybe on proprietary Discord but not here.





















  • Win10 runs faster and more stable then win11.

    Bogus. They are the same in that regard. Stability is mostly dependent on used hardware and drivers these days.

    Don’t get me started on all the limitations win11 introduced

    Please do get started and how they weigh more than than WSL2.

    next to all the ads

    Win10 also has ads, MS added more ads through updates. My work desktop PC runs Win10, my work notebook runs Win11. I have the comparison on a daily basis.

    and loss of control of settings.

    A few minor things around taskbar placement. Even though my personal preference is a vertical taskbar on the left screen edge, it’s less important than WSL2.












  • Of course it does not make sense.

    In pretty much every international sporting competition, the referees are from countries other than the competing teams/athletes. Football, boxing, you name it. It’s part of rules to maintain impartiality and fairness in the matches. Englishman Johnny Herbert being part of the stewarding team to judge over English teams and athletes would be a scandal in every other sport’s world championship. This weekend a German ADAC higher-up was also part of the stewarding team. I have no idea about his impartiality regarding Mercedes or Nico Hülkenberg and there shouldn’t be any questions regarding impartiality based on nationality. That’s precisely why others sports have such rules.
