From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks for the replies, I'm going for Rustdesk it's seem pretty good
Hopefully the team has smartened up a bit since these days
Were they just disabling Wayland instead of handling it properly? Is that what the code was doing?
Yes, but by editing config files 😐
Huge. Good stuff. Lol
That's what rust looks like? Yikes. How do people put up with this?
Its syntax is incredibly similar to C++, the programming language it is targeting as a replacement. I don't really understand the confusion here; have you never used C++?
Only for 20 years
Then I don't really understand the issue here. It's syntactically similar to C++ with the benefits of being memory safe. It's a different language, so there are different conventions and some different syntax of course, but that's to be said about any 2 languages; they are always different in some ways. I don't see a reason to complain about the aesthetic value of a language you don't know how to use, especially when it's similar to one that you seem to be using regularly.
Well, even moreso than it being hard to read, to me it's just ugly. So in that regard I don't think it really matters if I can understand it in the first place, if I just can't stand to look at it to begin with. Like it just makes me not even want to try. I get a similar vibe with Ruby as well.
