There's been a huge amount of talk recently about switching to Linux for gaming, thanks to the challenge from Linus Tech Tips where two of their people tried the full-switch but it didn't go so well for Linus and Pop!_OS. Now, System76 are trying to improve.
i’m quite an unapologetic zealot when it comes to keeping microsoft’s claws out of linux.
and you’re right the electron aspect isn’t ideal.
but you’re also right, what is a good replacement? tbh i think this shows a bit of a gap which i really hope can be filled with something appropriate soon.
i’m a big fan of geany, but definitely understand it doesn’t fit the use case for alot of users.
