Because CEOs in general lean pretty right?

It is lots of modules but not really that modular. There is little concern about working with anything else.

I was very excited for COSMIC but I have kind of moved on the Niri now. I am not sure it will lure me back.

That said, I have been using COSMIC Term and COSMIC Panel with Niri. So they still have their hooks in me.

Get a cheap desktop and run Windows on it. Remote Desktop into that machine to run your app.

You can use TwinGate or Tailscale to access your desktop from anywhere.

As good as this comment is, neither has the range or targeting capability that the US does or that the USSR did.

The security council veto was designed to keep the US and the USSR at the negotiating table and off the battlefield.

All Canadian pipelines need to go east / west now and terminate at a Canadian coast.

Most compatible is FAT32 which is also the most limited.

I am not sure I would trust the WinBtrfs driver with anything important. What problems are you having with NTFS?

Linux has two NTFS stacks: NTFS-3G and NTFS3 ( in the Linux kernel since 5.15 ). NTFS3 is faster and more feature rich I think but that said it also lacks a few things. NTFS-3G is more mature and some people still report it to be more stable.

They are probably saying the shared POSIX underpinnings means greater commonality between macOS and Linux and therefore easier porting. That is likely true to some extent but real apps are written to Apple proprietary APIs and therefore that advantage is largely nullified.

In terms of effort to bring apps over, there has been far, far more effort put into porting Windows apps and so that task ( at this point ) is generally easier. It may have been less effort to port macOS at the start ( eg. GNUstep ) but that work has still largely never been done.

It is easy to move POSIX world apps to macOS. It is not as easy to go the other way.

I would certainly benefit if more hardware supported Linux out-of-the-box.

Many people will benefit if that one key application they need is supported on Linux.

We all benefit from the paid developers working on Linux. The number of such people are linked to the profitability of Linux for companies which is a function of popularity.

It seems quite likely that, in the Arch ( EOS ) system at least, a tonne of that space is being used up by the package cache. By default, the system keeps copies of the packages for all software you install. This can indeed take gigs of space but it has nothing to do with your running system. A simple command purges them all and reclaims the space. You would obviously want to do this before reporting installation size. I bet he did not.

Rider on Linux is amazing.

Avalonia and UNO are your best bets for cross-platform.

Perhaps I am not interacting with the most complicated documents but I both consume a fair number of docs I get from work and create docs that I share with others. I have never had a complaint about the docs I create and do not perceive there to be problems with the docs I consume.

What I produce myself is mostly presentations. Other than having to be careful with fonts, they have not been an issue.

The spreadsheets I generate are really simplistic ( in terms of feature use - the math itself may be sophisticated ). I receive some that are a bit more complicated. As I said, I do not perceive issues with them but they could have formatting errors that I do not notice.

Same with Word docs. I used to create more of these and there were occasional formatting glitches but it has been a couple of years since I have authored anything complicated. My intuition is that text documents with a lot of formatting and embedded content are likely to be the most problematic, especially if tracking changes.

Make sure you install the fonts that others are going to use and only use fonts that they are going to have. That is probably the biggest gotcha.

Put it this way, I have Office 365 which I could use on Linux but I use LibreOffice instead. I use O365 mostly for Outlook and Teams ( with a bit of One Drive ).
