Then you’ve said you want your buttons to be “scaled up” in physical size. Let the app ask for controls sized in some unit which is *device* independent, but *user* scalable. A button which is “72 units” across is an inch by default (regardless of pixel density) but can be bigger or smaller if the user has said they want large interface elements etc.

I think a is just too far to the left (or u too far to the right)? The widths look reasonable, but the gap is small.

No… (and now I’m afraid to search for it). TBF I haven’t used Linux on the desktop for a while now (wake me up when *last year* was the year of Desktop Linux…)

Oh, for desktop apps? Yeah, that’s bonkers—surely a package manager is what you want. I hadn’t actually come across that, although I’m not surprised it happens tbh. A bit like Rule 34—if you can imagine the technology, then somewhere on the internet there’s someone using it for something it wasn’t designed for and isn’t good at.

That’s certainly a viewpoint… I’m in the other camp on this at the moment, although I do see them misused quite a lot (they’re not a security feature, for example!) I find them convenient for repeatable deployments (and to get equivalent setups for local and live deployments). Why do you hate them? (Genuine question.)

They’re the same “A Klingon on the bridge? And kids on a starship?!” people, aren’t they?

Tried that in 1997. I suppose it worked for a while.
(FTAOD, I am in favour of the idea, but the electorate has a distressingly short memory, even when stretched as far as it will go by conscious effort.)
