Off the top of my head: - git front-end, such as gitg - serial console, for Arduino, RPi, CHIP hacking, such as moserial - documentation, such as devhelp, or working on JS/Python docs for g-i'ed libraries - specialised containers/VMs/applications, for example, a way to start a "LAMP" front-end, as a normal user, to make local testing and remote deployment easier, or even testing with different versions of Apache/PHP [1] Cheers [1]: Doing this as a system service means that you have to admin a whole server, permissions, SELinux, etc. It's one of the reasons why my father uses Windows to write web apps that he eventually deploys on Linux hosts. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
