Still no name or this mysterious better client. And what happens when I need something more, or something else? I need to find a different "better client"?

I still type wget when trying to download stuff... not sure if better, except for default behavior.

I've run into weird situations where either curl or wget wouldn't be installed by default, so I use... whatever :)

But usually curl.

Actually not - it's capable of 120hz @ 4k. Your typical chinesium $49 amazon KVM won't do that.

I work from home and every day I switch my cables to my work computer which takes 10 seconds. I don't want to pay $300 to shave 20 seconds off of my day.

How many days have you left?

You only say that because you are not monetizing your 20 seconds! (It is a joke)

Pretty chaotic for my taste! I find that having clutter on my desktop distracts me and makes me feel uneasy. I'm wondering what the difference between Daniel and me is. Could it just be a personality trait?

I too like a clean desk. But a clean desk doesn't stay that for long. So all clean desk lovers like me tend to have a cluttered desk.

The clean desks you see in pictures are obviously staged, or maybe people are really able to do serious work without ever putting a pen, or a cable, or a phone, or a mug on, sooner or later.

It's like doing the dishes. One of the things I hate the most in life, because you clean stuff so you can dirty it later. A clean desk is one that nobody uses, while your favourite cup is always in the washer.

Well, you’re a CTO (going by your handle) and Daniel is an open source engineer, so I’d say personally probably has something to do with it.

It says the desk is homemade, but it looks like a standard Ikea desk

IKEA was originally a Swedish company and still does their design in Sweden, so perhaps it’s not surprising that a homemade Swedish desk looks a lot like an IKEA desk.

And how many of those have >10 billion installs? https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/10/15/curl-installations-pe...

I'm going to ask a really silly question, how do open source maintainers make a living, compared to the commercial MS Windows world?
