I’m one of those people, they make a surprisingly good combo
If you’re doing nix right it doesn’t matter how unstable something is if it’s borked you just revert it
Have generally found hyprland to be pretty stable anyway though as long as you’re not on the unstable nix channel
Python is the gold standard for cross platform interpreted languages
If what you meant was are they all interpreted, no C# rust and python are the main 3 I use rn and are all cross platform
Pretty sure a lot of the people here are deathly allergic to anything meta. I know a couple people irl who just get on and use it also
The app knows if location permission has been denied though
They released their desktop environment publicly, which imo was the main reason to use it
I never found elementary really worked that well for me, though pantheon is lovely
You’re probably right but it wouldn’t be a clean implementation for the os to do it. If it was more universal and better documented app devs could just put notices in themselves
I’ve seen maybe 4 people using Linux in real life and 2 of them are friends/family
If you’re in any of the Linux related discords for long enough to pick up on it you’ll realize there are a lot of kids there

Did the people there actually believe they were robots? Impressive acting of course but you can see they’re costumes in the video and I imagine it’d be more obvious in person
If you mean for picking which distro you like, assuming you don’t want something unique like qubes or nixos the only thing that really matters is DE and package manager, everything else you can install/uninstall as you see fit (if you really want to you can change the DE yourself too)
Every Debian based distro is the same operating system underneath with different stuff installed, every redhat based system is the same story
That said certain distros come with a lot more pre installed that you probably want (for example the zip command)
I don’t really get the obsession a lot of people seem to have with trying to push Linux on people who are content with windows
It’s great for technical people who actually understand the reasons to use it but I really doubt switching to Linux even if it works perfectly and never breaks down (which it probably won’t) will it really be a net positive effect on the lives of non technical users.
To repeat the same thing everyone always says if all they’re using is a browser they could be using any OS, but at that point windows serves them perfectly well and doesn’t require the local nerd’s help when they want to edit an image or something
I think all apps should have those explanation screens of what’s not going to work if you deny X permission and why, especially in the case of an issue like this
It should request location access, and if it’s denied tell the user that it won’t be able to get the location data from images and give them a button to have it ask permission again
Windows is not difficult to install, it’s just tedious and full of anti privacy options most people don’t care about
Also don’t think 90% of people will ever install an operating system in the first place anyway
Teenagers are not lazy and are definitely installing it have you seen the hyprland discord
Super easy to do nowadays, everything I write is cross platform just by virtue of every programming language I use being that way provided I’m somewhat mindful about it
Package management in central is a bit of an issue. I think nix has the right approach where it’s incredibly difficult to create a package that won’t work on x system. I think appimage flatpak and snap all work in a similar way
Pip is a right pain in the arse though, if I had a nickel for every time a pip install has failed for some specific package with an esoteric error message…
The working out analogy is great, everyone with a technical job involving computers probably should keep a Linux machine, switching to it has skyrocketed my knowledge on computers in general
It’s difficult though, I would compare daily driving it with cycling into work instead of driving, it’s fun and good for you but constant effort
VM is probably the answer as long as your machine can run one well enough.
