As a Vivaldi user, I found that no other browser works as well for me, as Vivaldi does. I can’t imagine life without browser workspaces, sync, vertical tabs on the desktop, and a mobile tab bar at the bottom.

The closest alternative is either Floorp or Zen, with mobile Firefox and Sync, but I found Vivaldi is just smoother and a better and more well-integrated user experience for me.

It feels weird that I’m following Mattermost so much, yet I’m first finding out about it from Lemmy.

Still wonderful news though!

I can confirm I’m a newer user (not a normie) to Nextcloud and I don’t know or really care what it uses because it works so I haven’t had to learn what it is or how to debug it.

And that’s why even static sites like Hugo blogs or even simple pages like the one OP posted should have HTTPS. Source: Studied Distributed Systems at university.

Apparently, there was some drama within Organic Maps and this is a fork. Idk if it’s worth it.

But XFCE IS on Wayland though?

I meant from an idealistic perspective i.e a small and minimal, but featureful WM with a simple config and a built in bar, where all you reasonably need is covered, no useless extras. I think Pinnacle is trying to be an AwesomeWM replacement rather than a Spectrwm replacement. And that’s great, because I love Awesome, but for very different reasons to Spectrwm.

I wonder how complex it would be to convert spectrwm to Wayland…

I get where you’re coming from but I wish apps on GNOME could look uniform even without everyone kneeling to libadwaita, and we could just get uniform theming on all DEs.

GNOME.

Specifically their decisions on CSD over SSD (client and server side decorations)

I haven’t really had any other dogmatic issues with projects.

I found this today:

This might be the first time that I genuinely like how a Catppuccin colour scheme turned out.

Well done! It looks… well… awesome.

(Great, now I’m stuck dreaming of AwesomeWM on Wayland again)

Doesn’t happen to me

Not THAT far. But 32GB RAM is getting more common, though I haven’t heard of many people using 64, let alone more than that.

Also, storage is usually not that extreme, though multiple terabytes are also getting more common on the higher end.

Just this month, I upgraded to 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD so it isn’t that extreme for most people.

CPU and GPU - wise, most people aren’t running the best of the best, and there are still plenty of people using 10-series Nvidia GPUs, with most people seemingly using 20-series or 30-series GPUs, (and usually not the best cards for these generations)

Cool, but is there any reason to use this over Searx?

Can confirm. I’m basically running the same setup except I’m using a managed Nextcloud instance cuz I currently can’t self host.

I second that. Even my lower-midrange laptop from 3 years ago (8GB RAM, Integrated AMD GPU) can run a few of the smaller LLMs, and it’s true that you don’t even need a GPU as they can run in RAM. And depending on how much RAM you have and what GPU, you might find models performing better in RAM instead of on the GPU. Just keep in mind that when a model says, for example, 8GB Memory required, if you have 8GB RAM, you can’t run it cuz you also have your operating system and other applications running. If you have 8GB video memory on your GPU though, you should be golden (I think).

I find vertical tabs to be more useful specifically when I have more tabs. Currently using vertical tabs on Vivaldi and I can see 28 and a half tabs without scrolling, which is pretty alright if you’re asking me. And Workspaces are quite helpful for the same reason.

For anyone curious, I currently have 2 workspaces at 8 tabs, 1 at 20, 1 at 25 and one at 82, which comes up to 143 tabs , plus 1 more tab in the default Workspace Vivaldi creates, coming up to 144 tabs.

I completely forgot about the Linux Upskill Challenge! I should have mentioned I’ve been running Linux as my desktop operating system for almost 3 years, and I’ve been tinkering with it quite a lot throughout so I’m quite familiar and very comfortable with the command line. I shoukd go through the Linux upskill challenge so I can fill in any knowledge gaps though. Thanks for reminding me!

Hmm…

Unverified

It’s a “No” from me. I’ll stick to Freetube.

For those unaware, being verified means it is packaged by the official developer/team.
