  • Yeah, I wasn’t trying to say SQLite is universally better. I shouldn’t have said best option, I really meant best default. I don’t think the majority of users are running a central db, most will just spin-up docker compose files for each service and end up with multiple SQL versions running.

    I’ve had a lot of problems in the past from software crashes that left sqlite files in a corrupt state

    I have had this issue, but it was always easily recoverable. I haven’t had the same issues with backups, although a lot of the software I use that’s running SQLite has a builtin backup feature, then I just backup that directory to a cloud service.

    Besides that SQLite really doesn’t play nice with NFS, which is the basis for quite a few cloud storage providers. Also a good point, I just don’t think the majority of users are using NFS for their DBs.

    When an app is using an ORM already, I think they might as well make sure it supports both SQLite and a hosted DB like Postgres




  • Idk how you could look at GNOME and say its trying to act more like Windows. They have their own particular idea of what a desktop should be, and that might not include middle mouse pasting. Defaults shouldnt stay the default just because they’ve always been. Devs should be able to have discussions about changing things without people accusing them of trying to destroy Linux.

    Edit: I also want to point out that a huge number of Linux users dont even know this is a feature (some of which you can see in this thread). This change will add an entry in the settings for it, which very well might lead to MORE people using it. I think disabled is the correct default for something as potentially dangerous as dumping your most recently highlighted text.
