central Australia is not known for it’s arable land meowz, and they probably don’t have an industrial grade water supply that could sustain it

meow i dont think it aligns nicely at all, why peopld keep trying to insert blockchian an ai into solarpunk? they dont fit! no consideration for environmental impacts… a communal city works bettr than ur DACs.

u just need kde, as hitting ‘get new widgets’ in da widgets sidebar uses the same backend, meow

so u just need to search for catwalk in there :3

hehe X3 (u can just look in my bio lmao )

oh sorry i use cat sounds in my replies X3 mrrp is a cat trill

i always think a snapshot system is a good idea and tbh i always thought stable just meant only little bugs got thru. stable stuff isnt immune to pebkac and config breakages >w<

yeh i think is a more advanced linux distro cuz of the no hand holding defaults it has mrrp >w< but honestly while u are right, that stability≠reliability, it does tend to correlate in my experience (tho my current arch install has been going the longest out of all my installs XP).

debian to me is one of the endgame linuxes, as in its what more experienced users will end up with mrow. imo it really isnt a good intro to linux aand tbh i would almost put it next to arch in terms of beginners probably shouldnt start with it mrrp

ubuntu just kinda sucks as a linux now imo, esp for new users

great list !! meowz theres nothing i can think of that u missed so well done :3

the gentoo wiki is also a great resource !!

wayland seems to be the way desktop linux is going, personally i like it and am migrating over w plasma 6, but ymmv mrowz

for global search i would recommend rofi-wayland !

overall, my best advice is to steal, mix n match others configs (make sure to keep track and source them tho !) and find what u like best, if ur only starting dont try and do everything from scratch !!

if u want a notification system, i use dunst :3

meow id love to see activities turn into whats described at the end of the blogpost atm is a bit half finished feature ime

if youre opening ur laptop from suspend or hibernate id look there first, i dont think itd be a nix specific issue, though there may be an option in kde to pause media when thd lock screen is visible idk >w<

you could also check if ur webbrowser has an option like that too (if ur on jellyfin via a browser)

yay a flower :3

thanks ! ill check it out ! >w<

arent raspi 4s more like a 10-12W when ur using for desktop ? have i gotten it confused with the raspi 5s idk >~< im still got a 3b+ and a B model lmao i stick by the reduce reuse before buying new. i do agree tho that 370W is quite a lot for a computer, my main laptop is 150w ans it is incredibly snappy + has a dgpu (nVidia GTx 1060M) so id honestly consider that the max power consumption for a computer, i dont really see y u’d need more. I have an old lenovo not-quite-thinkpad that was like 150$ and was just before soldered ram + emmc came online so ive managed to upgrade it to 8gb ram (it came w 2 [WITH WIN 10 !! ??]) but is dualcore 2.1ghz and is a bit slow for my tastes but can do word processing and _some web browsing but it has a usual power consumption of 7W off the battery and about 20W when plugged in + charging so im very happy with that old thing :3

thanks for the reply !! i have an old “gaming”" laptop (that i just use for most things tbh) but its 150W amd got a GTX 1060m in it, so i would be curious to see if i could run some sort of local ai on it. i believe the CO_2/kWh is pretty good here we rely mostly on renewables, but still have some coal power stations around -_- ah ! if training the ai is the hard part and running it is easier on energy then it may be better than i thought, though i am wary of how it gets used by companies… i am very aware though going into a engineering field in the next couple years that llms are gonna be a big tool to use, though i dont agree with stuff like chatgpt for privacy reasons, but i was unsure about how bad the environmental impact would be if i tried it, thanks for the info !! :3

nice ! ive been a bit wary of llms cuz of electricity usage n environmental impact. iz there any things u can point me to for running a greener ai myself?

ive heard reallygood things about hyperland + its docs !

personally, i use qtile cuz its config is in python with p managable docs, and it comes with its own barebones bar + launcher!

although on my main i do have plasma n bismuth, but thats not for serious twm stuff dp ymmv there

am not sure if entirely fitting the criteria but i quite enjoy hackaday.com for all the repairing tech n diy stuff they have

owo

my take is that you really cant get big compnies to port to linux in the way he describes, and a lot of linux users wont use it anyway cuz its not foss

also afaik cosmic isnt just gnome in rust? its more like a realised knome (mix of kde and gnome, april fools 202x)

big companies will move with userbase, and cosmic being developed wont hurt the userbase growth of desktop linux. jeez that last part about foss evangelists just like no

honestly this man just seems a bit fustrated by not having a latest popos release?

also : people create clones of software all the time, not just in foss projects

overall, id say i dont really agree with him. imo cosmic is fine and the big companies really arent that interested anyway, i don’t think giving them money will help tbh, id much prefer foss alternatives being given funding
