Devlog #1 -> HyprDot
Past few weeks, I was just wondering
Why does almost the entire world desktop users despite linux?
Even if they ARE using linux, WHY don’t they use Arch than Ubuntu and Fedora?
Why?
It boils down to 2 main reasons - not really reasons, but lets say that user preference:
- Ease of use(MAIN point): Ease of use is most arguably the point comes in people’s minds. But, no one goes deeper than that. Now, lets talk about the rivalry OS, Windows. Why it got pretty popular is because of not only games, it is the UI aspect too! The operating system Windows provided MORE freindlyness in operations in general, everything worked out of the box and looked pleasing. It is when Windows 1.0 was launched. Yes, not talking about AI-slop or that sorta. In general, MS office was freindly and everything WORKED for windows. That’s it. Windows HAD customizations, but the best thing is setting it right on presets.
Let go to MacOS, arguably the current popular(tho, pls, to me it is the worst OS, and a trap into it’s ecosystem), also is popular, ALL BECAUSE OF ITS UI, UIUIUI. UI is the aspect. Ok, not UI only, but also the smoothness and responsiveness for many people.
Mac is therefore successful. It gave people though limited customizability, but the presets were so good, they didn’t want anything to be done. - Software compatiblity: Yes! Software is like ~70% slammed only for windows. Some developers are moving to mac too. Some are developing web apps, which is now getting increasingly popular. But linux is stranded, due to its popularity.
If a day comes where windows is stranded, for sure, every dev will write a compatibility for linux.
Hope-ing you understood, I want to revolutionize linux.
No, NOT at ALL “just a pretty wrapper for linux”.
It is setting my presets right, yet providing ULTIMATE customizability.
Right now, I have chosen my theme as frost blue, so I am doing everything in that, but in future can be changed.
My idea is to ship a usable linux. No, absolutely not going to bombard the user saying that the app needs sudo privlages, but instead work in a way that will infact say “This app is requesting you to give it adminstrator rights.”. That’s it. No sudo and complex stuff, just easy bytes to handle for user.
Now that’s linux.
