From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I guess the word "bloat" has no meaning anymore.
"bloat" = it has features I don't like
Highly disagree. Even though bloat may not matter much on your $10000 PC, it still gets worse over time and creates more and more ewaste for no reason.
EDIT: yep there are a lot of laziness and bloat supporters in this community for sure
I've ran OBS on a 5 year old Chromebook with 32GB storage using Linux to stream to Twitch, I think most computers are capable of running OBS to record a video.
I'm not talking about OBS. I'm talking about the "bloat doesn't matter. Just buy a new PC" philosophy
Noone in this chain implied that
Yes because atzanteol said it directly
The idea that a web application for screen recording is less bloat than OBS is absurd. As this was the idea presented by OP, atzanteol reacted by figuratively saying that the word no longer had any meaning. Given the context, this was quite clearly not an attempt to downplay the effects or severity of software bloat, but simply a figurative use of the phrase meant to point out how badly the word bloat had been misused. You completely misinterpreted their comment. Then, when this was pointed out to you, you proceeded to do the Reddit thing of mockingly editing your original downvoted comment, successfully making an ass out of yourself.
I didnt understand that statement though.
A browser is simply the bottom line. Its the stuff I always open up. It is always in RAM.
Firefox has more stable screencast capabilities than many recorders.
Feature creep is a hallmark of "software bloat". Using a web browser to do something completely unrelated to it's core functionality is pretty much the definition of "bloat".
Obs is purpose-built to do the thing you want to do. That it also has features you don't want does not make it "bloated".
Fair points. A video recorder for me doesnt need internet access while a browser obviously has it. A browser needs that for me as I use it for video calls, even though it is a bit strange to do this.
But thats it, browsers are multimedia platforms today and using another tool additionally to that doesnt change anything.
Sorry but I did not and still do not see that atzanteol's comment was about web screen recorders. It can be my English or it can be your desire to "be like the crowd" and fight me. Idk
Its your english
