Well it does what it’s supposed to do, so who cares.

Again of what? Of nativefier?

What repo? Use npm to get nativefier, the one from regular apt etc. are not current, they’re copies of older versions. Dunno why someone did that.

There are a few brands of them I love mine! Sooo tiny and awesome.

You could also always nativefier it and make it like a webapp. I have some sites setup like that on my machine.

That’s interesting that they’re working on it now. But I guess better late than never. Anyway I’ll check it out, thanks!

Web UIs rarely support everything one needs; usually they support their own system and maybe a little bit of bonus.

Outlook web for hosted Exchange won’t even do multiple mailboxes in a unified Inbox, even on the same account!

I’ve been wanting something too! What I really want is something that interfaces natively with Exchange server as well as integrated inbox for multiple accounts.

The one product that exists is Blue Mail which is pretty nice except that half its functionality is broken. I’ve been in contact with their support multiple times over many months and eventually they just gave up. Its functionality is limited by arbitrary glitches and unknown limitations which they simply don’t want to bother fixing.

I’ve no doubt it will run on such a system, but not nearly as smoothly as with a more powerful machine. Also depends what you run and how many things at a time, etc. not telling you anything you don’t already know, I’m sure :-)

I tried Elementary on some older machines and yes it runs ok but on a really fast system, holy shit is it gorgeous.

Have you replaced Plank with the generic one that you can zoom animate? I wanted to try that one of these days. I’ve used plank elsewhere and I would like for Elementary to have that version.

Elementary really isn’t very lightweight. It’s usually sluggish on slower systems (in my experience).

I’m surprised they would implement having just run0 effectively log you in as root. For the super security conscious constrictions of the command versus sudo, it would seem that the very notion of elevating your privilege beyond the single command to be carried out, would be anathema to the whole goal of this new command. Evidently not, but it’s surprising to me.

I find the Discord interface to be utter chaos.

And of course something will likely happen like that. They couldn’t help themselves, so it’s inevitable.

So, copying is making something identical. But something that’s different would rationally be called not copying, whereas you categorize it as poor copying. Interesting.

Ever hear of two things just being similar? We are talking about a UI - these things have always followed patterns that change as usage patterns change in the industry. I think you must be young and/or inexperienced because this kind of trend goes back to the ‘80s.

His point is that you have no point.

Yeah there’s no need to change if you’re content with what you’re using.

Not even close to approaching mainstream!

people who just want their computer to work with minimal hassle.

Elementary OS. Hassle-free, elegant and polished, distraction-free.

I never recommend Mint! It’s like it became this de facto distro to steer newbies toward just because it sort of kind of looks like Windows? Elementary OS is simple, polished, elegant and in a good way less customizable so the user can just get to work.

Alternatively if they want something more familiar like the start menu there’s KDE on Ubuntu or OpenSUSE, among others.

Mint was impressive like fifteen years ago; it’s still fine, but nothing in particular makes it more appealing than some of the ones I mentioned which have significant advantages.

Yeah I’m seriously sensing there’s a massive bit of info we haven’t been given. I can’t even conjure up a way that a distro would “break” a monitor lol.
