How is hyprland better than Niri or Cosmic built on Smithay which are at least written in an over hyped safe modern language.

Or i3/sway for that matter.

I tried this 15ish year ago with my parents, and the results were mixed. Windows wasn’t as egregious back then, with its spying and pre-installed garbage, but it did have a tendency to accumulate bloat over time. So my parents’ computer would get unusably slow after a couple years. I installed Ubuntu on their system and it solved the bloat problem. It lasted for years without slowing down. The issues they ran into were compatibility. They’d buy a new camera and the connection wouldn’t work. Or their friend would send them an attachment and there’d be no default viewer for the filetype. I suspect those issues have been mostly solved, but they’ve moved back to Windows and are running into the same bloat problems. Now they’re thinking of moving to apple.

Radicle is awesome, but having to create a new account for each device is a pain, especially if you want them all to have access to the same private repo.

Think heart surgeons follow this mantra?

I think most people leading a team would say “we built this”. Personally, if I hire someone to build something for me, I’d say something like “I had this built” intead of saying I built it myself.

I think there should be a short form for “I had AI do this for me”… “I prompted” maybe?
