I tried Plasma ( with i3 to replave kwin, didn't turned out to be a goo experience btw, back to bare i3) some times ago and directly deactivated this baloofile after seeing it was taking 1.7gb at boot ( maybe it was temporary ). I just use fzf when I don't know where something is.
React is free and open source, they could always fork it and I guess they are protecting their backs by supporting Vue and Svelte ( employed the creator full time to work on Svelte )
Remix have just been released and you're already jumping to conclusions ? What's missing from NextJS to connect your own backend framework like django rails express or whatever ? Or even using their api routes + something like Prisma and a SQl/NoSQL database ? Basically nothing.
People just like React and the idea of decoupling frontend and backend ( Pretty sure just a few percentage of users use Nextjs with api routes and just use it as Create-React-App with SSG and SSR capabilities ).
I haven't used Vercel that much in production but what does it bring compared to Heroku or cheaper and open source self hosted alternatives like Dokku or even caprover with it's really good UI and can deploy any backend as long as it's Dockerizable ?
Because React is now a standard in the frontend I guess, so people are looking for a way to get that Django/Rails fullstack experience but with React instead of templating language and because it's extra work to write a django/node/rails api and a decoupled JS framework frontend.
Meanwhile everyone is also trying to have a decoupled infrastructure and going with microservices. It's an endless loop I guess.
Why not using Caprover ? That's an open source self hosted PaaS that use Docker and let you configure almost everything through their GUI, as well as checking Logs, easily scale horizontally, spinning up Postgres/Redis/Next cloud or whichever docker images in one click and letting you communicate via different parts of your projects through environment variables set through the GUI.
That way instead of learning a new and likely less advanced framework you can use your favorite and likely more mature and well maintained backend framework and just deploy in a minute with caprover, as long as you can dockerize it it should work, you just have to write a single dockerfile ( they also have a way to not write dockerfiles directly and use their abstraction ).
You take advantage from the backed framework you already know with all its advantages and also benefit from Docker's huge community.
Their UI is really good to be honest, you can enable and force https in one click and other goodies like that, DigitalOcean also have a preconfigured Ubuntu droplets with caprover preinstalled to make it even smoother.
Why that ? Anti-bloat philosophy at its extreme ? People can write their own CSS / use a dark mode extension so there is no need for a global implementation ?
What does female leader mean? She's been named prime minister not president. I don't know about the middle East part of "the arab world" but Algeria and Morroco for sure have female ministers too.
