Somehow NixOS really is like a fucking crack. I had like a 6 months non-stop hyperfixation about configuring everything using NixOS and Home Manager. Almost every evening. Now I have a polished setup of my personal and work laptops, homelab server and a VPS. And I have no regrets, this thing is amazing.

Tasks.org is a powerful Android tasks app - the best I managed to find. I sync it with Nextcloud.

I really don’t think context changes a lot in this case. Being frustrated doesn’t make statements like this acceptable. Neither does starting the sentence with “if” or being right (which he was).

Believe me, my intention is not to attack or discredit Linus. As a SE and Linux enthusiast I have a great deal of respect for him. But this is not exclusive with acknowledging that he is just a human and has flaws like all of us.

I brought this up to show that it’s more complicated than just being “really nice but very honest”, that’s all.

He has told people that they should kill themself. I’m not trying to throw a shade on him but that’s the unfortunate truth.

Right! IDE is probably the missing piece. I use Neovim exclusively so I didn’t even think about this.

Yeah, but those shouldn’t really influence memory usage too much unless actively used, right? I’m pretty sure browsers unload unused tabs from memory.

I myself sometimes use quite a lot of tabs, although I have to admit it’s definitely not close to 80 tabs open at all times.

I have no idea how people use so much RAM. I use a 16 GB machine for work and it runs perfectly. For the majority of the time I’m well below 8GB. And I do use Electron apps.

Of course, I’m aware of the possible uses demanding more than 16 GB but I can’t believe this would be the case for a majority of the people.

Commenting mostly to make this post more active because I have very high hopes for COSMIC and really want it to succeed!

You perfectly described what I thougt but wouldn’t be able to put into words so nicely.

Do you mean that it’s worse on GrapheneOS in comparison to stock?

While it’s not nearly as customizable as an Ubuntu kernel, it’s still easy to make your GrapheneOS look and feel exactly how you want it to, within reason.

WTF is it supposed to mean?

Well, I actually enjoy code review, and I enjoy it on both ends. I learned A LOT thanks to insightful review by my teammates. And I like to pass that knowledge on to juniors when reviewing their code.

I want a good tiling DE solution so much. I really hope COSMIC will fill in that gap.

Thanks for the suggestion but I’m not going back from Wayland either.

I know there are ways to tile in both Gnome and KDE, I tried some of them. Unfortunately, none of them allow for workspace management type I’m used to.

What I need is to have workspaces 1-5 on the first monitor, 6-8 on the second, and 9-11 on the third. I need those to be bound to the monitors so I don’t have to manually move them around. And I need to switch between them independently of course. It’s interesting that no DE seems to be able to do that but it’s a standard way to set up Hyprland or Sway.

I can’t go back from a tiling WM but I would actually prefer to use a DE nowadays. I seriously hope that COSMIC will be able to fill that gap between the two.

Probably because they sent a newsletter email with this info in the subject.

I mean, it’s like a fucking drug. The learning curve is steep AF but past some point, when it starts making sense, it’s just incredible. I’m currently moving my whole setup to NixOS and I’m in love.

If you have to learn from scratch anyway I would consider caddy and traefik. I think those might be a bit more modern and user-friendly than nginx.

Exactly this! Powerful tiling without the need to build your own DE from scratch sounds incredible!

Man, would taking a few seconds to verify stuff kill you? All Proton applications are open source.
