Isn’t the context of that quote around the kernel and kernel space vs user space? I don’t see how that thought really extends to distros that simply implement the kernel as one of their packages.

Have there been any studies showing if that is due to biological/hormonal differences or just societal norms?

Cheaper is one aspect. Less physical things to have to keep track of and manage is what I am really after. I want a singular device that is capable of all the things/modes that I want. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this, but what I see is a singular device capable of all sorts of things being eventually small enough to be embedded inside a body, essentially like cyborg. Like 100 years from now assuming society doesn’t collapse by then.

I’d argue it’s one of their core beliefs. Almost a requirement to be a MAGA is to be a hypocrite.

Why have one device or why desktop mode?

One device because it would reduce the burden on me of maintaining multiple devices, the security updates, passwords, etc.

Why desktop mode? Because when I try to do what I would call “serious work” (probably a bad name for it, but think something requiring extended periods of deep focus), the interface of smartphones is not conducive for it. Precision of a mouse is required, ability to type 100+ words per minute is required, so that necessitates mouse and keyboard. Then there’s the UX itself. Smartphones have tiny screens so they can’t have many menu items or controls in the apps that are used for “serious work”. That requires larger screen real estate, so necessitates an external monitor.

I don’t want to start rambling so I’ll just leave it at that.

I’ve been wanting a phone that can dock and be used as a full fledged desktop since smartphones first came out. Samsung Dex apparently comes close, but is too limited in terms of the desktop app side.

How is this supposed to work? What about identical twins? What about people who look alike (more common than you’d think)?

You’re missing a critical part of the apples analogy. When apples start to rot, they release ethylene gas which is a plant hormone that accelerates aging in nearby fruits.

So by the time you found the rotten apple, it has already spoiled the bunch.

Analogies aren’t perfect, but they usually get the point across. Maybe the “one bad apples spoils the bunch” sits better? Apples are indivisible like people.

They should have just called it appleOS 26 since they are bumping all of it to 26 and unifying the look and feel between all of their OSs.

The asset store obviously isn’t, so I feel these concerns are valid. I don’t want Godot to end up like Unity 5-10+ years out.

I’m not sure why you’re beating up a strawman so hard. I never said anything remotely close to that.
