I’m envy? I’m hoping for a native GUI application for Linux. Electron looks ugly, it doesn’t integrate, fails to handle HiDPI usually, in best case it eats a ridiculous amount of memory (factor 5x compared to native) and in worst case it ha

Yep. The TouchPads from Apple are good. Their keyboards are bad. There are two important I/O devices in a laptop, the keyboard and the display. The keyboards from ThinkPads are near perfect and don’t fall apart. Lenovo decided to re

Correct. It is probably a feature which isn’t necessary for the languages itself but Linux/POSIX.

Haha! I’ve ordered yesterday an unused old external floppy-drive (IBM) and a set of floppies (Sony). More for fun than on purpose. By the way you need them everywhere where stuff remains a long time usable e.g. the older B747-400 or trains,

Constructive criticism is helpful. And yes - some people get it wrong or are stubborn. People don’t act always perfect despite good intentions. I struggle often to find the right tone and interpret it properly. And I’m happy about Linux,

As Vinni pointed it with irony. A honest „thank you“ to the people which made the thumbnails possible would be helpful. And involving itself. Or spending money. Gtk and GNOME are not companies. People need a motivation - from their work or

Both fractional scaling and thumbnails did require massive background work. The term „impossible“ is therefore incorrect. It required huge changes in the backend which weren’t feasible in short term. The thumbnails are done already and th
