This is no surprise considering Intel got caught with their pants down and have been in decline since Ryzen came out. if they would have had a answer to AMD things would be different. but now they have to deal with competing with AMD and Arm based chips.

If you worked at Intel frankly you should have seen the writing on the wall and looking for another Job a long while ago.Jobs aint free and never a 100% in the tech world as fast as tech changes.

Quoting: CaldathrasOut of curiosity, has anyone ever tried this on a desktop or laptop PC?

I ran Bazzite on my PC for bout a month then I read how to make my own custom Image and making my own distro based on it lol.. Bazzite is nice and works great but quite a bit of bloat with GUI apps I was never using so stripped them all out and moved Lutris and steam to using the flatpaks as I made some tweaks on my image for the steam flatpak also I made Themes work for flatpak out the box so they match lol

Been running my distro as my daily driver for bout 3 months now and it updates everyday off the main bazzite image on github

You can use any GUI framework with Rust. Be it GTK3, GTK4, Qt5, Qt6 or just the dedicated rust-written UI frameworks.

Also I need to admit Cosmic looks to me very similar to Gnome but with a flatter theme and less round corners. The rest is just different colours.

Those are the only rust apps that do look good to me.. but these rust apps that use rust based GUI tool kits are uuugly lmao. thats just my opinion so not aiming to offend anyone such as the guy that replied just below my OG post lol

Quoting: amataiI have a mixed feeling about Flatpack. I have the impression it tries to replace package repositery whereas the problem is that distribution repository should be extended.
We don't need flatpack or snap or whatever for Mozzila, Gnome or KDE softwares. The FOSS software from highly trusted source are the easiest things to maintain on distribution repo. Flathub should be mostly commercial or more obscure FOSS project and software store app should be able to mix distro software when it makes the most sense and packaged software.

for distros like SteamOS and Bazzite and every immutable distro they are essential. I am actually making a distriso based on bazzite with all the uneeded bloat removed and its heavily flatpak focused. Flatpak has alot of pain points I get it which is why I am hoping to solve a bit of them in my distro lol. Themes work out the box in mine and working on having sane default permissions so things just work hopefully.. so far on my machine which I daily drive it it works great.

Bruh how hard is it for devs to make sure once they decide to allow the anti-cheat to work to make sure EVERYONE involved knows for every build of the game to keep the gosh darm Linux check box checked on EACs website....

To be frank it should be a LAW features such as this must be opensourced regardless if the OS is or not.

I wouldn't
The data is still stored on the computer and made readily accessible.
A malicious actor on my system(this can just be chrome looking for delicious data) can take it and run with it.

And thats on you not the DE. but fact is this is Linux if a DE did implement such a feature 1.) you wouldn't be required to use such a feature. 2 .) it would 99% be a opt in not opt out. 3.) it would most likely be encrypted

Actually I think encryption wouldn't be a feature if it were open source.
Secret management is important in open source security considerations and the secret would in this case be stored on the same place as the data.
The rest of your points are convincing and yes this's certainly on me.

I wasn't saying the feature itself would be encrypted but the end data on your device :)
