Bless you for doing god's work. We need more GUI developers and a better ecosystem as a whole.

That said, it's pretty shite right now. Your established options are GTK and Qt. Qt uses C++ and I believe GTK uses C. I've only really looked briefly into Qt development, and it looks like there are bindings to Rust.

That said, I'm a firm believer that doing GUIs through code is an inefficient, cumbersome, and antiquated process that should be replaced with more visual alternatives, like we see in Godot Engine.

Blech. I'd downvote this because I disagree with their decision, but I'm glad you brought this to our attention.

No, you're the one definitely fanboying. You're upset that someone is recommending a product from a company you're not loyal to, so you will never stop responding until you have the last word.

If you can find a comparable laptop to what I linked for a similar or cheaper price, great. Link it. Otherwise you're just fanboying while pretending you're not.

If your next reply isn't a link to a comparable laptop or an apology, I'm just going to ignore you.

Arguing with you people gets tiresome and it's up to rational adults to see you for what you are.

Get the best product for the cheapest price.

Don't be a fanboy.

Maybe I really am chronically online

Perhaps. It is kind of nice to know that a lot of the drivel we read on these forums doesn't necessarily translate to how people behave in the real world.

I've gotten way better at identifying users whose brains are "shot" from spending too much time on social media. At some point, I've realized I may as well not be discussing with a human; they're walking memes.

Ok this is now a stupid conversation. Really? Humanity?

Yeah, humanity. The fact you think it's 'stupid' really just proves my point that you're too far gone.

or type boltctl -list

Really? You have every command memorized? You never need to look any of them up? No copy-pasting!

Come on, at least try to make a decent argument to avoid looking like a troll.

I'm glad rational people have won out and your rhetoric is falling further and further by the wayside. The command line is great for development and developers. It's awful for regular users which is why regular users never touch it.

You lost sight of your humanity, which is why you don't even think about how asinine it is to say "just type this command!" as though people are supposed to know it intuitively.

Gonna block ya now. Arguing with people like you is tiresome and a waste of time.

Have fun writing commands. Make sure you don't use a GUI to look them up, or else you'd be proving me right.

I'd recommend avoiding all of these companies.

They will charge you a premium for inferior hardware and an OS they don't have to pay licensing fees on.

You can buy a Lenovo gaming laptop with a 4070 for $900 from Walmart that will run Linux without issues. Don't give these scumbags your money. They're banking on you being stupid.

Good choice.

Framework always seemed like a meme.

[–] lumony@lemmings.world 2 points 3 days ago

That's a fair disagreement to have, and a sign that you're fighting bigger battles than just getting software to work.

Static linking really is only an issue for proprietary software. Free software will always give users the option to fix programs that break due to updated dependencies.

[–] lumony@lemmings.world 1 points 3 days ago

Static linking is a good thing and should be respected as such for programs we don't expect to be updated constantly.

Chicken and egg.

 

Seems like people just don't care.
