    I stopped reading after this line.

    Raspberry Pi won’t do unfortunately, unless you run up to 4 lightweight containers.

    Does the author know how much compute power a Raspberry Pi 5 has? If the software that just hosts personal data can’t run in Raspberry Pi 5, that should be a terrible software. For most people and their families, a RPi5 is enough to host anything that they would ever need.


  • Iced is a Rust GUI toolkit which is high level than any existing toolkits including Qt, GTK etc. System76’s COSMIC desktop is developed using Iced. I believe Iced will replace Qt and GTK in Linux space in coming years.

    Rust is not only for low level programs, but it’s a general purpose high level language for any kind of applications. If the OP wants to go high level than Rust, there’s always Haskell which is an older cousin of Rust but with more functional and higher level abstractions.



  • Exactly. While I love Plasma for what it is, I also don’t love certain things like lack of polish, stability etc. Again no offense. Fedora Workstation aims to be a stable OS with sensible defaults for wider audience including home users, disabled people and developers who want to get things done rather than tweaking their OS. GNOME may not have great customizability as Plasma but it is stable and well polished for average user.
