Not to forget Thunderbird that gained a lot of funding after introducing a support popup in their app.

Afaik it works well for all the mentioned projects, just don’t overdo it and become nagware lol

For Gnomes case, they have a popup that appears in the desktop shell… triggered by certain conditions? KDE has a support message in their welcome / quickstart after installing KDE plasma

Which ChatGPT death was it where ChatGPT kept saying the conversation triggered a safety mechanism where OpenAI employees are alerted and will intervene, but it was just a hallucinated feature that a responsible company should have?

KDE and GNOME gained sponsors with donation popups… maybe you could try a compiler message?

Not that it works for npm packages tho lol

That’s likely a WebKit thing tho… YouTube for me sometimes has the favicon of instagram or upcloud 😭

Yeah the parts of the gnome community are currently putting in efforts to push the ecosystem more forward, but afaik they mostly use mainstream phones, could be wrong though

To be fair depending on your usecase, you wouldn’t have issues with battery life on Linux. Running Fedora or openSUSE with battery management set to balanced via GUI / quicksettings works perfectly fine for me on the go. Not to compare with macOS, but still great
