Thank you for the link, this rant is amazing 😂

Yes. No to the Reddit’s size 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.

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

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.

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.

Haha, no worries! There’s definitely some truth in this.

I got recently diagnosed with autism and r/autism is the reason I started using Reddit again after more than a year. I would prefer using Lemmy for this but there’s barely any activity in autism community on Lemmy. Yeah, I know, I should be the change I want to see. I promise I will try to post something there!

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

True. This is one of the reasons why I only help people with their computers using remote desktop now. I’m so done with doing this verbally over the phone.

I think vast majority of my friends wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between “browser”, “search engine” and just “Google”. Yes, it seems weird but TBH does it really matter? They can use internet just fine.

I’ll stick with KeePassXC but I’m still very happy to see them remembering about Linux. I hope Drive will be next, this is something I’m really waiting for.
