If only Anthropic had some kind of automated tool that was good at porting software
Imagine if cutting edge AI companies could decide to using their world best AI to 1) Develop software for linux 2) Provide decent support

So you really couldn't figure out what "Super key" meant, even with context? I feel like you are being hyperbolic. This isn't magical hidden Linux knowledge. Honestly, if not being able to find what applications you have running, and not even trying pressing the large button on your keyboard with the windows logo on it was so traumatizing, you might want to just avoid Linux entirely.

A lot of us are happy gnome doesn’t support tray icons. We are sick of devs thinking their app is so important it needs a visual presence at all times. If I need your app I’ll bring it to the foreground, we have the technology. Global shortcuts definitely a pain point with Wayland but the portals are making progress.
> We are sick of devs thinking their app is so important it needs a visual presence at all times KDE Plasma allows hide selected applications from the tray and make those accessible in a popup window. The solution to this problem is not to remove the feature entirely, but actually implement it properly.

You wouldn't run an engineering company with 500 engineers reporting directly to the CEO. AI doesn't solve this. You need humans who can understand and verify what is being made.

> How do I bring your app to the foreground if I can't see an icon anywhere? On GNOME? Alt-tab, super overview, or click the dock icon. It's literally not any more complex than multitasking on an iPad.

Clearly you're not a golfer.

Can you please not post AI-generated or AI-edited comments to HN? It's not allowed here - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#generated and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340079 . Of course, it's impossible to know for sure what was LLM processed or not, but most of your posts are getting classified that way.

I do not know what fraction of LLM-processed messages are due to posters not being confident in their written English. To the extent that it is meaningful, we can a) be welcoming and indicate that we're OK with broken English (content and intent typically do get through), and/or b) allow posting in languages other than English (does this even work right now?). Above probably ahead of its time, but thought I'd just ma…
Hey! I manage the unofficial build at https://github.com/aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian Debian is in the name, but scope has grown to all backends, compositors, etc. The main reason must companies don't publish Linux electron apps is fragmentation. If you're doing anything more than rendering a webpage as an app, it starts to get complicated. I've got a bank of VM's setup for testing, and I still need it up.
> The main reason must companies don't publish Linux electron apps is fragmentation. If you're doing anything more than rendering a webpage as an app, it starts to get complicated. Can confirm. At a past company we worked hard to release a Linux desktop client for our customers who wanted it, even though the number was small. It turns into compatibility hell very fast. You think you can target a couple recent Ubuntu…
Honestly, it sounds like you guys need to learn to say no. Worked at an OEM and we had device divers for RHEL. If you got it working on something else, good for you. But if you wanted to open a support case, you better be able to reproduce the bug on a supported version of RHEL.
I would occasionally humor people running CentOS if I had some spare cycles, but if you were on Debian the answer was: sorry, would love to help but I can’t.
The people who can’t understand why you have a tight support matrix are the people you don’t want to get sucked into the rabbit hole with anyway.
This is like begging Microsoft to port SQL Server to Linux. Anthropic is a proprietary walled garden with poor service trading solely on dominance in a single product field, just like Microsoft with its business tools. Yet people are clamoring to become more dependent on them. Those same complaints you hear from Windows users today? Will be the complaints from Claude users in the future. No choice but to put up with…
SQL Server does have a Linux version though lol
