It’s irrelevant that every distro supports every DE. The out of box experience matters a lot, you don’t want to force a beginner straight into the terminal just to get a UI they like.

For recommendations to experienced users, I agree.

That site looks like it’s closed source. FOSS projects tend to not be well designed in the frontend except the occasional gem. Not sure why it’s such a pattern, considering this project isn’t making much money and it’s made by a single dev.

It might be overkill, but my website xylight.dev is written in Svelte with the framework Sveltekit. I use the adapter-static and disabled the client JavaScript with export const csr = false in my +layout.ts.

I really like Svelte since it lets me write reusable components really quickly, with very native feeling markup that, once I prerender it, expands into normal HTML.

You see, the joke is that “joke not funny and its on reddit so reddit bad”. lemmy obviously has jokes of higher intellect
