  • I think the argument about “for accessibility” is missing the point a little bit and a common mistake most developers make.

    You should endeavour to make your interface accessible by default. You shouldn’t be thinking in terms of “okay here’s the design and here’s the design that’s accessible”, you should be considering accessibility in all of your designs.

    Now that’s usually a bit harder with games because you have styles and themes that you don’t want to detract from, but if your interface causes accessibility issues, it’s generally going to be bad for people that don’t have accessibility needs as well.

    Accessibility benefits everyone.

    There’s no stigma with the terminal, the terminal isn’t bad, I love the terminal.

    However, it’s not grandma friendly. It never will be. You need to think less about your preferences and more about a truly novice user. Most people don’t want to tinker with their machines, they just want it to work.

    It’s not exactly a fair comparison, the tweaks in the bottom panel aren’t necessary for most users to do, yet a new user to Linux will need to get over a learning curve to do fairly basic tasks.

    My litmus test for when Linux will be “ready” is can you do everything you need to do without using the terminal. So far I’ve yet to see a distribution that has achieved this.

    The closest thing I’ve seen is SteamOS.








  • Well it’s more like you’ll get the usable parts without a huge premium. The was a time when monitors faster than 60hz were premium but now it’s pretty common to see 120hz and beyond on even basic monitors.

    There’s still diminishing returns as you go higher, but there’s definitely a noticeable difference between 60hz and 120hz, as well as a less noticeable but noticeable difference between 120hz and 240hz.240hz is becoming more standard now on regular high end monitors and beginning to trickle down too.

    Beyond that in terms of response times, you might not notice a difference between 240hz and 360hz, but image clarity will be better because you’ll get less ghosting just from the virtue of the pixels changing so quickly, so it’s not entirely useless.

    Part of the reason you’re seeing this is because they can. The panel technology (OLED in this case) is super fast due to it’s design, so it’s not too costly to add the necessary hardware to drive those speeds. For LCD tech, you do get to drive the panels faster and harder, that’s why older screens required shitty TN panels to get those refresh rates, but everything else has been around for a while.
