A while ago there were some apprehensions regarding qt licensing. Are they resolved? What happened?

This is very informative. Thank you!

Very smart on KDE’s part to form the KDE Free Qt Foundation.

To be fair .NET is open source only recently and Avalonia UI is only catching up. More and more people will discover it eventually.

And Microsoft behaviour is also to be blamed. What is a free and full fledged IDE for .NET? VSCode comes close but is no match to VS.

And web bros will notice once Blazor hits on. It will though, right?

Does one need the app to upload an image? I use it in a web browser and don’t see any option to upload an image.

I wonder what would be the developer experience be like when developing a cross platform app: .NET vs Flutter

You can be sure software {…} will behave the same

never had that issue before, as long as they have the same version and config

Pure:

If you uninstall a software it might still have residues. If you install a faulty driver, even if you uninstall it, it might still permanently mess the system configuration.

But with nix if you uninstall something it’s like it never existed in your system.

Reproducible:

With nix all the apps in your OS are configure using a single or a few config file(s). So if you want to setup another system the same way you don’t have to go hunting for dotfiles.

avoid dependency conflicts

that’s not something I have to deal with on Debian/Mint.

Because you are recommended to use only software present in the repositories. If you are the kind of person who doesn’t need software outside of your OS repositories then of course you might never need to worry about dependencies. Other people are doing the job for you.

But if you want to software not in the repos and even if you want to package it for your OS you might run into dependency issues. Never with nix. It’s more for people who don’t mind packaging software for themselves (and the community) and don’t want to deal with nasty dependency issues.

And here I am learning C# 10 and .NET 6.

Tim Corey.

He really takes time to explain things. Like if someone takes 10 minutes he takes 40 minutes. And it’s worth it; you just don’t get the info but also the “perspective”.

n00b Q: Is this similar to Avalonia UI?

Unlike full RHEL source code, comment on this matter is likely to be consistently available for some time to come.

Ouch.
