   Market share is nice, but when many developers use Firefox, guess what gets developed even if they don't get money for it?

   Vector Desktop an Electron that wraps the webapp and matix clients without videoconference support. It's a good start.

   The problem I see is that this would work only with linux AFAIK. Maybe cygwin can help here? Or run this stuff on a virtual system, vagrant, virtual box, qemu... I have no idea how to do this in windows/macos. Or encourage your users t

   Oh, just one thing. Its apparently missing a desktop client, that isn't a web app. I could convince more to switch if chat managers like gajim/pidgin etc. would support it out of the box.

   Hmm... The thing is, it doesn't matter that much how widely a piece of software is used, but by whom.

   I take you start from the raspbian base image and customize your rootfs from there. Maybe take a look at the various debian bootstrap methods then you can create minimal sd-images and even apply some changes to the root fs and partition tab

   Yes, thanks. Somebody mentioned it here before, looks good. Not sure if it can do video conferences with E2E encryption, because that could be very difficult (impossible?) or bandwidth intensive. Now I just need to convince everyone to swit

   Strange, from my perspective Firefox is very widely used. And for me Chrome/Chromium has just to many usability bugs, to be used productive. E.g. Tabbar doesn't scroll, not very good extensions available (e.g. regex search) and it

   "What is and what isn't a part of an operating system?" is a similar difficult question as "What is and what isn't part of a browser?" Like the kernel is only one non-optional (?) part of an OS, HTML rendering

    I'd rather do it the other way around. Find people with money to spend and let them pay me (and other developers) for implementing it.

    Yes, I would rather see some more traditional FOSS video/audio/chat/screensharing solution. With an account, contact lists, account (not device) based E2E encryption* , easy to deploy server software and something that can be

    Hmm... I think "Hello" doesn't even show per default, at least on my machine. Or I cannot remember removing it. I think the problem with "Hello" is more of a marketing and publicity one. Nobody uses it because they

    I suppose even if you are attracted to one of them, you might not admit it, because that could make thinks awkward between you in the future. So they ask you, not because they want to know the truth, but because they want your assurance tha

    Ok, thats an option. But I am not sure it its worth the effort. Normally if I discover some interesting project, that I want to try out, I just check it out in /tmp, run it and then decide if I want to continue using it and install it

    "patches welcome" imply "implement it yourself" as does a simple "not supported" or "wont fix". Following the "patches welcome" logic to the extreme, you would never need anymore than a tour

    I think this kind of reply makes it to easy for open source software, because any criticism directed to it can be countered with "patches welcome".

    Its just so much easier to add new functionality to the kernel than to remove old ones.

    From a developer perspective is secure boot more of a obstacle than really useful. You need to use gummiboot, etc. to terminate the signing in order to use developer kernels without having a bottleneck, that one person in the company that d

    I test different configurations on the target before syncing the right one into my build environment. If I mounted the RootFS via NFS then its possible to use ${EDITOR}, but thats not always the case.

    I am missing a config file format / parser&generator lib that preserves every comment and format (empty lines, etc.) after a read/write cycle.
