They certainly do, at least to an extent. In many fields where you have to work with a lot of data people will use R or Python to handle/transform/perform calculations.

True. HPC definitely plays a big role in the field, and essentially all compute clusters run some sort of Linux distro. Even though clients that can also be run locally then often have Windows binaries too, I’d say software support on Linux is at least as good as on Windows, probably a bit better.
A lot of my professors of meteorology (and IT courses, of course) also use either Ubuntu or Kubuntu! Love to see it
It’s dokuwiki.
I’m likely going to try out Wave Terminal with a self hosted LLM. I think it may well be quite useful, just don’t want to upload my entire command history to OpenAI.
I think not wanting to federate/bridge with Bluesky is a very bad idea. The entire idea is that we should get a Fediverse that is as connected as possible, not split up into many tiny subsets of users.
It wouldn’t be trivial to package such a big app as a flatpak (or snap for that matter) and also maintain it properly, so as long as the original developers don’t do the work I think it is unlikely to happen. But for a tool that I’m going to be using a lot in the future I think it makes sense to invest the time once to install it, even if it’s a bit more complicated.
As for DaVinci Resolve, installation can be a bit weird if you don’t happen to run one of the officially supported Distros. Because of that, the easiest way to run it is probably via DistroBox, Michael Horn made a great tutorial about that: https://youtu.be/wmRiZQ9IZfc
If you want something that works very well and is quite convenient, I can recommend the Scaleway S3 Glacier storage. If you only need a few GBs, it will only cost a couple of cents per month.
If anything, I feel like Nextcloud Mail is the thing that’s going to end up being killed, not Roundcube. Nextcloud doesn’t exactly seem like a company that would buy a superior product just to kill it off.
I’ve been using OpenSuse Slowroll basically since it was released and have so far been very happy with it.
I had been using Linux on servers for years, and finally also decided to give it a shot on the Desktop during the Linux challenge from linustechtips. Went to PopOS first, then Fedora and Debian and am currently on OpenSuse.

After the redesign I’m honestly surprised half of the world is not on Thunderbird already.
As far as I know, that’s the plan. They just haven’t had an initial non-alpha/beta release yet since the app is still quite unfinished (references to Reddit, certain menus just error out, etc.)
You usually want to have a product that is kind of working when you ship it to normies
Infinity is going to be great once everything is properly supported!
I get the criticism that you still need to use the CLI for many more advanced tasks, but 11 “program install processes”? I assume you mean package managers? I only use two on Debian, apt and flatpak and don’t really see the need for anything more. If you just use a gui store like Gnome Software or Discover you don’t even see a difference between the two in the first place.
The only time that issues arise is when you try to instal something that is not (or not properly) supported on Linux. Otherwise I’d argue the presence of a centralized store GUI even makes installing apps easier on Linux than on Windows.
Would be interesting to hear a little more about your setup. I had some issues when I had Nextcloud installed directly on Debian (though nothing this major), have since switched to running it on Docker and it’s been very solid.
Immich is still in relatively active development, but has a great feature set and is the only app that could reasonably replace Google Photos for me. Can recommend!
I do sometimes wish that Valve would simply automatically choose the Proton version of a game to be installed if it’s obviously superior (like with Rocket League). Also, why is Steam play not enabled for all titles by default? As far as I know, they’re already doing some of that validation for the Steam Deck, might as well use it for Desktop users as well.
