This. OP seems to discredit those numbers based on two arguments.

  1. They’re not personal computers but work PCs
  2. Those computers are mostly using a web browser and that’s it - no “paradigm change”

However, this is ignoring that

  1. those computers counted when they were on Windows too
  2. those genuinely working from a browser could probably have done so on Windows as well, no “paradigm change” either going on here
  3. the usage stats are counted from web hits anyway

Considering this, I’m not entirely sure why the numbers wouldn’t be any more or less significant than before.

Just like they previously counted for Windows before switching. I don’t understand why you arbitrarily decide that commercial/enterprise use is not a valid piece of market share that’s been part (if not the largest piece of) the counter since forever. Hell, the market share counter literally counts web browser hits lol

On a hospital PC?

I shortly used lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works before settling on lemmy.ca as well

Exactly this. There are some things I usually ask about every interview that kind of shows my hand about what I’m looking for, but also forces them to either answer me, or eliminate themselves as candidates in my mind.

However it’s important to note that this only holds true when you’re an in demand sector, where you aren’t an easily replaceable token. Otherwise they can just skip over you as too much potential trouble lol

Interesting! As an ESL speaker, I actually didn’t notice his accent at all. I always assumed he was an American lol

I just answered your question. If one wants latest up to date, LTS release-based distros are just not an option. You do you lol.

FWIW, I only reach out for Flatpak if I can’t find something natively. Unless you just use your DE as is without changing the look of things, making your apps look consistent is made pretty complicated by the requirement for your theme to be repackaged and distributed on flatpak. The sandboxed nature also can get annoying for certain types of apps (e.g. IDEs which tend to reach out for external tooling pretty often, etc). I also tend to trust my distro’s packagers a bit more than randos on flathub, but maybe that’s just me.

user who wants to play with the latest and greatest

“Up to date” and “LTS” are kind of antithetical

I haven’t really looked at his content in a good while. He seems to have gotten more confident in front of the camera. Some of his earlier stuff felt quite awkward at times, IMHO.

A toothbrush and a decentralized social platform may have different needs

I’m pretty sure spoiler tags are just not part of the markdown specification. This would mean it’s probably easy enough for an application developer to just take the raw comment and pass it to what I assume would be a markdown rendering library (haven’t done app dev much), but spoiler tags won’t work without some additional work.

Both were just a pain in their own right, IMHO. My previous Focusrite interface was quite fiddly to get working with ALSA and just worked OOTB with Pulseaudio. I also don’t miss messing with ALSA/JACK at all.

Pipewire has pretty much been a drop-in replacement for me, with how it can act as a Pulseaudio backend.
