I think this is the argument that the Ladybird people have made:
Ladybird is intended to be a truly independent browser and especially independent of Google.
You mean other than KDE ( KWin ) and GNOME ( Mutter )?
Ladybird was originally started as a browser for SerenityOS, a POSIX operating system. Well into the project, they decided to make it cross-platform but that still meant POSIX ( Linux and macOS ). As interest ( and sponsorships ) came in from outside SerenityOS, focus moved more and more to the browser and away from SerenityOS.
Just recently, Ladybird decided to split from SerenityOS, allow more outside code, and in fact has dropped SerenityOS as a supported OS.
The project is fairly pragmatic. I am sure they will add Windows support as the core browser engine matures.
Doesn’t Safari still use WebKit?
It is really just an AntiX spin now
I run Proxmox on a 2103 trashcan. It is awesome.
It is currently written in C++. They are looking to switch to Swift.
They looked into Rust but decided that GUI work was a pain and that they wanted something more object-oriented.
I love Proxmox but I am too much of a coward to run my NAS as a VM. It just feels like it would blow up on me. I know it is a normal thing to do. It just scares me.
Perhaps a safe bet but crazy . Anything over 8 GB will work and 16 gigs or more will work well. The more the better but don’t get the wrong idea from Mr. 128 GB.
They have been migrating to GTK3 since before GTK4 was out.
I am sure they will stay behind but future porting should be easier.
That said, non-GNOME GTK apps seem to be considering sticking with GTK3 anyway ( to avoid libadwaita ).
