Extensions are not equivalent to native customization, and both have pros and cons. On one hand, extensions provide a variety of features that can be added specific to people's likings, but on the other hand, there are chances of incompatibility (in gnome shells for example) and delayed maintenance from developers (which results in having to wait for them to finish the work when dependency updates)

At least man pages are better than ChatGPT or other generative LLM that can hallucinate

It doesn't have a wiki as good as Arch, yet

"Hey you want some potato chips?"

  • "Potato chip sounds good" => Yes please
  • "I'm good" => No thanks

Messed me up all the time first time came to the US. Why use positive response for rejection?

Maintainability is inverse correlated to job security anyway

Good devs are good regardless of context, they may have their personal preferences but in the end welcome bug reports and feature requests, especially the helpful ones because it helps the project. Bad devs are dicks regardless of context as well, all they care about is review rate and other numbers appear in the scoreboard

A lot of proprietary engineering software (CAD, MATLAB, etc) or GUI heavy programs have poor or no terminal interface to work with, so the need remote desktop solution is valid

In my opinion, it's bad either way for different reasons

If they do tell the difference, then there is some tracking built into the machine that runs the engine, which is bad for the application user

If they don't tell the difference, then there will be exploits for intentionally reinstall multiple times, which is bad for the application developers

I like the trend this is going: delayed platform exclusivity rather than forever exclusivity. Modern tech has advanced to the point that hardware differences does not always roadblock cross platform capability. The only issue is the variety in hardware for PC, which can be resolved by releasing the game first in known/fixed architectures (aka consoles) then continuously develop for PC later. That way, the console owners would benefit from immediate support first so they would feel their investment is worth, and PC players would be able to get a slice of pie later as well
