This makes me really happy to see. Desktop Linux is fucking amazing nowadays. Gnome and KDE being as excellent as they are, Flatpak massively simplifying package management for end users, and Pipewire being Pipewire have all gone a long way in making desktop Linux more easily approachable and incredibly stable. If I’m allowed to be controversial, I’d include Wayland in that list as well.

I fucking love the open source community.

To be even more controversial, I’d say Electron has had a big positive impact on getting critical applications people want onto Linux. If devs had to make a dedicated app for Linux it either wouldn’t exist or be extremely dumbed down with lagging updates.

You’re right and you should say it.

People meme on electron, and I think most of it is deserved, but it does make a lot of stuff way easier for devs, and that means more software for users. There’s a reason it’s so popular.
