In the same way vibe coding has transformed software development

So, that is to say, they expect it to have no impact on serious work whatsoever?

Surely, if you forget it's even running, you aren't using it, and it doesn't matter if it stops running? (With a couple of obvious exceptions like automated backups, etc)

Where are you running du -sh *? (I.e. what directory, are you definitely scanning the whole file system?) I'm sure it's obvious, but can never hurt to check!

What does du -sh / show? (Generally, the * glob pattern in the shell will not match hidden dot-files, so is it possible they are being excluded?)

But then for that you have distrobox, which is great. If that's not enough, running another OS is also trivial, so that downside really is only 'kinda', as you say!

They're referring (I believe) to the screenshot right at the top of the article, which includes this absurd calculation:

border-radius: max (0px, min(8px, calc( (100vw - 4px - 100%) * 9999)) );

My guess (hope!) is that this is not 'serious' code, but padding for the sake of a screenshot to demonstrate that it's possible to use each of these different features (not that you should!).

Don't even need to remote in to anything, just store your working code on a network share

Yes, CUPS is what I'm talking about there being no good way of setting it up. (Obviously can't be a flatpak, and no dice installing it with distrobox -- trivially, at least -- too tied to the system, I think)

I use it as my only personal (i.e. not work or shared) machine, and it is absolutely great. I expected to be installing a 'proper' linux distro on an external drive for the docked use-case, and it has turned out to be completely unnecessary. For those things not available as flatpak, distrobox/podman has been great. (The only thing that slightly irks me that is missing is support for a printing service, but I haven't tried that hard to fiddle with that, since I can do it from my phone on those rare occasions I need to.)

currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)

Who wants to tell the author that not everything was invented in the US? (And computers certainly weren't)

Most things, if not available as flatpak, can be installed inside another distro on distrobox. It runs in containers, so things can access a root filesystem (Just not the main SteamOS one), and is a pretty seamless experience, once installed. I have a bunch of non-flatpak software running that way, and it works great.

"you’re not getting Mario, Zelda and Metroid on a Steam Deck"... Does someone want to tell them?
