Thank you for the link, this rant is amazing 😂

It’s just reskinned Firefox though.

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.

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?

Which will be years from now, if ever. I mean, I hope for them as much as you do, but it doesn’t mean there is no problem right now.

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.

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.

Thanks for the info. I’m very relieved, I love the bottom bar!

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

Well, sure. If it works for you then by all means keep using it.

I’m just recommending a service which I find very useful. I actually first heard about it on Lemmy and I’m grateful for the recommendation so I spread the word in hope of helping someone else.

It might protect you from a lot of Google’s shit show but it won’t show you good results too.

Kagi is the only usable search engine for me right now. Yes, it’s not free. I needed a whole year to convince myself to pay for searching but I finally did it and it is absolutely worth it. I’m a SE though, so searching stuff is like half my job.

In my experience it’s usually just peanuts. That’s the only kind I buy. You can find it with sugar and / or salt but that’s a minority.

It really is weird how US has to ruin every kind of food to make it more unhealthy. All this while not having a real healthcare too.

Lol, that’s kinda true actually

I have to mention dataclasses here, especially with frozen=True.

Seriously, use dataclasses whenever possible, they’re great.
