It explains why HAL got mad. To be honest I never watch original in full. Started watching and got bored. But watched 2010 in one go. I don’t know why. It was inspiration to watch it after I saw this film mentioned in one YT video.

I liked that it touch topic of war between US and USSR. And I really enjoyed quality of Practical Effects.

Did you watch second part, 2010: The Year We Make Contact? Really like quality of effects.

Would it ever support Windows?

I know that some KDE apps do.

I’ve just tried Qt based matrix client. Compared to Electron based Element.

It’s nice, snappy, beautiful, and eats WAY less RAM. But it lacks lot of feature. That’s sad.

Then they shouldn’t! Just give users website and be done with it.

Now you can even allow websites work offline and install them “like” an app with proper manifest.

I believe it uses gtk-webview. So on KDE system you would use GTK as a base. But you anyway would have GTK libs in your system.

I think that’s what is learnt on Design courses at university. Also ergonomics.

But IDK. I saw “professional” web-designers who don’t consider colorblind peoples in their colors.

But I didn’t ask if they had professional education.

I haven’t use any alternatives, and haven’t developed with electron, but I know that there are another alternative – Tauri. It also uses web-view. It’s built in Rust and allows apps to be developed in JS (providing JS api) and in Rust.

What I can say – JS support won’t be cross-platform, like we have with NodeJS in electron. Special debug per platform might be required.
