Debian testing is ok for newer hardware, if you’re more technically inclined.

People are afraid of what they do not understand. This still holds true here.

And fear leads to hate.

True, I didn’t structure my sentence correctly.

It gets to compete with Java and Python because it’s also JIT is what I meant to say.

Absolutely, it’s just one aspect of it, benchmarks are always narrow in scope. Some languages may be good at some things and worse at others.

Oh PHP is hands down one of the slowest languages out there. It’s just convenient because it’s easy to host, but it’s awful to use and it’s really slow.

Here, have a chart:

In this chart, where the benchmark is calculating digits of π, Java is faster than JS, but there are cases where it’s the opposite.

Node.js is really not a bad backend language, since it’s JIT, it’s actually faster than Python and Java in most cases.

Rust will definitely have the advantage of being a compiled language though.

Source: I write both Java and TS backend code, have done benchmarks.

Or a name

And those same people will often also refuse to pay for services.

It’s a pay or become the product world out there, site hosting ain’t free.

Gotta love circular reporting.

Correct, this two-sided discourse is due to a massive lack of communication on Mozilla’s part, leaving room for speculation.

I like it

Could you cite the reports for us?

I grew up with it, at school we would use the CMS keyboard but at home we had ANSI keyboards, so all my homework was done on that keyboard using an fr-ca layout. You just eventually re-map the keys in your head.

Yeah MATE is lighter but the margin is small since it’s basically GNOME 2.

Still is about as light performance and memory footprint wise when talking about GNOME 46.

Base GNOME isn’t much larger than MATE.

I’m French Canadian. I just use a US keyboard and learned where the French keys are on the frca layout and I don’t need to look at the keyboard. I’ve gotten so good that typing on a CMS keyboard is awkward for me.

They all fucking suck
