  • It basically is. AFAIK, there’s no browser based way for steam chat, Google messages, or snapchat. I’m sure there are others too.

    The biggest advantage I can think of is notification integration. The ‘tabs’ do give notification counts. You can minimize to the system tray so it doesn’t have to be open. It would be seperate from your web browser, so if you have 30 tabs open like I do it’ll be less cluttered. But it’ll send notifications to the desktop with snippets of the message, like a popup on your phone. Also, even if you clear all your cookies/browser history etc., since it’s seperate from the browser, you don’t have to worry about logging in again.



  • Pre-installed is the biggest factor. Go to Walmart or best buy. You’ll find windows and Mac and chromebooks.

    I don’t think it’s “laziness” per se, but rather people aren’t that technically inclined. It’s too much of a challenge for the average person especially when they don’t understand the benefits.


  • The only one that really pissed me off was a distro called biglinux. It’s arch based and very popular in Brazil. It’s actually very stable. Everything works great. It’s got some nice features.

    Butttt, it uses latte dock or panel (kde). They have built in presets for how to arrange the panels and what not. It’s nice, however, I was trying to move some panels around from the base options and broke kde. I wasn’t doing anything more than changing GUI settings and the whole desktop broke. I seriously don’t understand.
