I think you're misunderstanding it. Most mobile apps have sensible defaults regarding data and battery usage, for instance, not updating (their feeds/server status/whatever networked service the app uses) if not in WiFi.

And that's Linus' doing, mostly. Kent insists it is production ready. I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole, at least for now.

For example today I wanted to add a “start menu” shortcut to a program I had downloaded.

I get what you're saying, but this is like "I tried to use Linux like it was Windows, and it was hard." It's a different OS. Go on, move the taskbar of Windows 11 to the left or right edges of the screen. I can do that on Linux, why can't I do that on Windows? It's not even hard, it's just plain impossible. If you try to do things manually in Linux, it's not going to be intuitive. It will feel like editing the Registry in Windows. Unintuitive and like arcane magic.

If you like science, mander is a great instance that is broadly federated. And you get a cool science feed on your local filter to boot.

So how do I get it?

Sounds more plausible. Either that or the system is reporting RAM + swap - VRAM reserved memory somehow.
