Interesting that they use Rust for most things, rather than Deno. I would've expected more dog-fooding on their part.

You can use the `--local` flag to build on your own computer/CI/VPS. `eas build --local -p ios --profile production` can locally build you an iOS bundle. Don't expect it to work out of the box, though. Your machine should have all the XCode tooling correctly installed and configured. Works for Android as well.

I would say that Arch's philosophy is about Exposed simplicity vs Hidden complexity. The wiki is extensive and covers a lot of cases one might stumble upon. Sometimes it feels like Arch's goal is to teach you how it works end-to-end. As a byproduct you get a working OS.

You'll be surprised, but it's RedHat that made most of that happen. A lot of the important Linux projects are developed mostly by them - Gnome, Wayland, NetworkManager, Pipewire, flatpak, etc.

Ubuntu, on the other hand, seem to like to do many things their way. Like aggressive patching. I recall fontconfig being heavily patched from upstream. Then we have Mir (now almost abandoned), Unity (abandoned), snap (flatpak, done differently, not yet abandoned :).

We've been using Zoom for the past 2 years and their Linux support is outstanding. Not the prettiest of UIs, but very reliable.

I have another HiDPI laptop with the same wireless card (Intel 7260). I don't think your router is the problem, I'm experiencing the same issues. When I'm not in the same room as the router signal used to drop 50% of the time. Few driver updates later things are much better, but it still freezes sometimes. Consider disabling the power saving options - it does help. It seems Intel totally botched it with this card as the Internet is littered with people complaining about it, including Windows users. It seems the Windows drivers have it covered now, but the Linux ones are still catching up.

Regarding the HiDPI - Chrome is the only thing that doesn't play, but since I'm a Firefox user, that's not a problem. Gnome 3 handles it quite well. Yes, some apps (i.e. Skype) get their font rendering a bit wrong, but otherwise it's fine. But the crisp fonts are something I'm not giving up.

I actually wonder if it can be done even more elegant with RxJS?

Could you share your setup - Distro, Desktop Environment, settings, etc.

I wonder if HiDPI support for Linux (and Windows) finally works.

Edit: just grabbed the community edition and the answer is... no. Even with -Dis.hidpi=true - no luck.
