Isn’t that essentially what fedora Silverblue is? It’s an immutable desktop OS where everything is ran in flatpaks/podman pods for the most part and it’s actually a really great experience. Can play stellaris on steam with it for example with no issue.

I have never heard of this (until now). Thank you! I've been loving NixOS so I hope it's easy to build the world like that. :-)

No problem! I love it so much - it’s really simple. One thing I’d recommend is if you use vs code - to set it’s built in interpreter to use the toolbox:

Specifically the “vscodium in a flatpak” (also of course works with the Microsoft version vscode )

can't we do better than electron? seriously? a whole freaking browser only just to display few sliders, combobox and buttons? this is very sad and concerning, either people are clueless, or they are clueless, i see no other reasons; you really not care at all, do you? you use go already, use that https://fyne.io/

Such a tiresome argument. We need a whole freaking browser, only to display some text on this Web 1.0 hackernews website? If the tool works well and doesn't use too many resources (see: VS Code, Spotify, Postman, among others that use a "browser" based UI), why does it matter? Let developers choose the tools they want to build the things they want to build. You want a k8s desktop app written in fyne-io? Go for it!

slave mindset, empower the idiocracy, never give feedack, never stand up when you think wrong things, negative feedback = troll obviously

reminds me of a packed bus, there was that random drunk dude harassing that other random guy

everyone stood silent

that's our society, and that's why it's trash

another startup with 100M in VC funding and generates 1k dollar in profit

What's the state of Rancher these days? I was handing over a clients project and looking for someone to maintain it long term. I chose Rancher in my ignorance, but all Rancher did was tank the project. They installed their own halfbaked inhouse CloudNative Storage Provider, then quoted the client 50k to try to stabilize it. Their sales people were also nonstop trying to sell them on more consulting hours on top of th…

I self-host rancher 2.6 for personal use and maintain a 3-node cluster. I find it enjoyable to work with though I only host ~13 different web applications: private docker registry, gitea, drone, plex media server, sagemath through jupyter, and a few personal projects.

It's probably unnecessary/overkill for single-user like myself, but so far I like it

Am I the only one that's starting to get a bit annoyed when random software for the desktop is getting called "XYZ Desktop"? I came here expecting a new desktop environment or WM called 'Rancher'.

I think the 'desktop' naming convention is older than most OSS WM's/desktop environments, it was even used for games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_His_Desktop_...

(now that would be a great name for a WM ;) )

Hardly. I have no problem with you stating your opinion, and would not downvote anyone for doing so. I'm simply saying that I hear this opinion all the time and don't agree with it.

> hope you not from EU, i would be ashamed

Not sure how my country of origin is at all relevant here, but.. OK.
