Would be nice if firearm updates get done through fwupd

With the exception of energy weapons, I'm kinda hoping that firearms never need firmware updates

Hahaha. Thank my phone for that.

Either make is vendor-agnostic in Qt/GTK or fuck off. I don't need 3 gigabytes of electron blob collecting my private info. Windows GPU GUIs are a fucking shitfest.

I would be ok if it was written in Flutter as well and while I wouldn't usually express it exactly like you did, I can't say I disagree.

So we have a number of people (including myself) who don't understand what, exactly, the control panels are needed for, and several others mocking our ignorance while taking no effort to enlighten us.

Ok then.

The only options I can think of that I've ever needed to tweak are preferences for when to use iGPU vs dGPU, and overriding those preferences per-app. This seems like something that belongs in the DE settings pane, not a standalone application, because it's a pretty generic setting that applies across vendors.
