@Conan_Kudo @monk apologies for red hatters, i love fedora so much overall, thus this caught my "what **** is this shit o_O" antennas :-) if RH would overall suck you could not see the difference...

@Conan_Kudo @monk I did cut some corners yes, but having a size-fit pipeline for data always does also a major difference :-)

@monk @Conan_Kudo That is sort of different discussion, and I'd say "it depends" :-)
Podman Desktop is not just Electro app, it's a shitty app even if you compare it to apps made with Electron.
For a modern GPU the main glitch with web technology based apps is not that much the UI description language. It's more related to the software rendering pipeline from the 90s duct taped into composition based pipeline, and single core design duct taped into multi-core.
The difference between app and "non-app" is not really whether the app uses Gtk, QT or HTML. It's really the level of access to the local system resources. At least this is the conclusion you mostly likely end up with, if you start to specify more formally the difference between "an app" and "a web page".
I said this in some other thread too but Electron run-time on top of Servo could be pretty nice even for hardware with relatively slow CPU but still multi-core, and mediocre GPU. Servo is a software architecture that has been optimized with an eye for modern GPU's and multi-core CPU's as the primary targets.
Gtk and Qt only perform better because they have had a privilege to break backwards compatibility with the new major versions, not because they would do something magically awesome to get the rank of being a "native app", or their engineers would particularly be better in their job.

@Conan_Kudo RH brand for me is like GPL across board, polished desktop experience, standards compliance and generally top notch quality. Shitty Electron app with Telemetry red flags straight from the get go does not fit.

@Conan_Kudo This was just a shock for me because it did not match my typical RH expectations. It's exactly like someone had made a fake RH application that is actually ransomware 😅

@Conan_Kudo I hope some smart person some day does Electron runtime based on Servo. It could make it sleeker given how well-constructed GPU pipeline it has.

@Conan_Kudo Yeah, it was like stereotypical enterprise GUI :-) Would make sense if it was CISCO Podman Desktop... The very first question you get ask is query to enable Telemetry...

Tried Podman Desktop by Red Hat as it was first monitor I found.
It's IMHO fucking horrible. Looks bad and a complete mess, which is pretty relevant attribute for that purpose. I mean the use and purpose is to visualize the situation, right?
This feels much more sane GUI option: https://github.com/marhkb/pods
#podman

@pinkforest @Kijewski My Rust "hate feedback" when it comes to kernel has been lately like:
1. "even if it is Rust we love also first in class commit messages"
2. "even if it is Rust I still need to be able to test this, not just compile"
I love Rust too but I still also love the best practices if of the ancient era :-) I commit to yelling on these until they start to be the status quo... It's called governance 🕶

@pinkforest It's like "LaTeX for engineers"
Word is for managers, LaTeX is for scientists and there has been an empty "for Engineers" slot to fill up until Typst came out :-)
It also has Beamer alike package called Polylux: https://github.com/polylux-typ/polylux
For me this was love at first sight at least.

I do use sometimes AI in a browser.
I use it by asking it to write for me a summary that I can put then to hackmd. For instance, "write me summary of this or that NixOS attribute and create a markdown document". Asking it write code takes more time because it is never fully what I expect. By writing a summary of option I gain understanding of the topic and learn something.
This way I save tons of times and AI provides me food for mind. I'm always critical but never a denialist :-)

I've read a few times that "times were better when people used just Stack Overflow".
I never even fully got on board for that era and I still have a job...
I read books.
