I can't find a way to use Bottles
To complete my view, I am not a big fan of how the bug are managed as in this issue where EA launcher is not working as intented and is still considered Platinum one year later...

Will the fedora Linux be the best distro for a Game dev and a music producer?
In Bottles there is a "program installers" feature. One of the programs on that list is FL Studio which you can get via 1 click (here is the script that runs internally when you do that: https://github.com/bottlesdevs/programs/blob/main/Software/flstudio.yml)

Potential bottles setup alternative
I have put some work on a bottles LoL installer here. For it to be ready, some stuff needs to be ironed, but the majority of the installer is already there.

Bottles: Easy GUI front end to run Windows software on Linux
It looks like the only officially supported program that isn't a game is amazon music [1]. The main project for running windows on Linux has a partially working distribution of Office 365. My impression is that it sometimes works with significant manual effort, wouldn't be reliable enough to depend on without a backup system [2].
When I need Office apps to communicate with clients I use a combination of Google Docs download as docx, Office Online, and a VM.

Release Radar • February 2024 Edition
The team at Electron have been faithfully shipping new releases almost every single month. I think they had Christmas off 🤔.

The latest update depreciates some process events, and added new modules, APIs, methods, and more. Read into all the changes in the Electron release notes. This month, Electron also introduced a new formal RFC process.

Design Systems with Web Components
So we talked a lot about the Atomic Design Principle, but you could just use that in any system and start creating. You could have Angular components, React Components, and Vue Components. But if you notice these don't easily work Everwhere. So the solution is to use Web Components because the modern browser can already understand these, and any Front-End framework can then utilize these components. You can use Electron for desktop (Slack, VSCode), PWA for both Android and iOS, and across all browsers Can I Use.

How I got Wayland, Vulkan, and hardware acceleration working with Figma on Fedora 39.
I'm noticing a significant boost in performance, crisper text, and better power savings. The only shortcoming is that the window which Figma will run on will lose its shadow. This is due to a technical limitation with frameless windows on Linux.

Building Apps with Tauri and Elixir
For the longest time, building desktop apps was a daunting task to web developers. That is, until technologies like Electron made creating these apps more approachable to a wider audience. Today, we’ve got a wide array of native applications built with solutions like Electron, Tauri, Capacitor, and many more. While these are great solutions, sometimes configuration can be tricky and the applications we create can become somewhat bloated in terms of memory usage.

Capturing at Speed of Thought
Turns out, there is an issue with the electron window not returning focus correctly on mac - https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5495. The trick to solving is to treat quick capture as a screensaver. When closing, you hide it by setting the opacity to 0 and sending hide: command to the first responder.
