even when said “one program” is actually 69 (nice) different binaries

he literally said it was not one of the features cherry picked to be reimplemented. So he did say, paraphrased, “because we couldn’t be bothered”

the reason is literally “because we decided not to implement it”

Saved you a click.

depends on his/her rations

i installed mandrake in 2004. It came with a nice graphical installer.

doesn’t change anything if you can’t avoid having to write the unsafe parts

windows 10 never had a fullscreen start menu (enabled by default). 7 never had it in any way.

If the start menu was fullscreen on 10, it’s because you explicitly enabled it. It’s not the default.

that’s windows 8

it takes two instructions to materialize a constant in risc-v. X64 has LEA.

Risc-v is better!

i don’t want flatpak either

a compatibility layer would involve dedicated hardware in the soc itself, like apple did with the m series chips

sorry to burst your bubble

you seem to be confusing an operating system for the user interface. An os can (and regularly does) have more than one interface. In this case steamos ships with two of them. One they designed which is targeted for games. And they also ship plasma as a desktop environment for those who need it. The operating system lies under all that, and you can launch any piece of software from either of the interfaces. (or the terminal, that counts as a 3rd way to interact with the computer, I guess)

as amazing as snake was as a toy on phones, it still doesn’t make sense to put a copy of snake in outlook. Or notepad, or paint, or office, or as an always available widget in the task bar

not really. If the system outputs a probability distribution, then by definition, you’re picking somewhat randomly. So not really a simplification

if every single token is, at the end, chosen by random dice roll (and they are) then this is exactly what you’d expect.

call of duty player, probably?

because they haven’t? We don’t want any changes to our ability to install software. This would still kill f-droid, and the “flow” they talked about isn’t a system wide setting. You have to do it per app. And you, the owner of the divice who just wants to install something on your device, would have to register. So if too many people install the app, the dev would be forced to register as well.

How is any of that “listening to user feedback”?

which they control

and the os. Always the os, if it has root access :)
