All well and good for people who know how to do that

A lot of users won’t even know what a kernel is let alone why their printer has stopped working or that they need to raise a GitHub issue

This seems like a bad idea… What about people using hardware that needs those

This only works for people who have disks lying around big enough to backup their entire primary disk

Ah sorry misread there are quite a few “should I dual boot to switch from windows to Linux” posts

It’s definitely possible to dual boot different distros but what I said still holds true, if you want to try it just installing it as the full os is the way to go. You can always backup and transfer your home directory to keep everything how you’d expect

Stylus for theming, vimium for navigation

It works a lot better than the discord app, more responsive for one. Ctrl k on the app takes a few seconds, takes half a second on web

Multiple instances at once without any hassle is nice, the ability to open links in the same window instead of having it open a browser somewhere (tiling wm with discord in a pop up layer)

Seems to be less resource intensive I assume because no electron wrapper running, just Firefox which I already have open anyway

Plus the main one is that because it’s not using electron I don’t have the constant drama with insecure electron versions, also if discord forces an update and your package manager doesn’t update you just can’t use discord for a few days until it catches up

I regularly share my whole screen

I have an issue with the dialog box popping up multiple times but that’s it, still works

The only caveat is window specific sharing often doesn’t work because of how Wayland works

Spacebar doesn’t even do voice calls does it? Let alone screen share

Revolt looks pretty good despite its lack of a large user base

Third party discord clients keep letting me down, not updating their electron version and breaking my system updates cause it’s marked insecure

Browser version with extensions is the way to go

I’ve been screen sharing from discord on hyprland for months, it wasn’t already working?

“let’s try to stop hate by voting for the person we hate the most publicly”

On the flip side, training ai for image recognition has the potential for auto labelling images for the blind

Could be either the website owners themselves generate them if a human written one isn’t provided, or a browser extension that auto labels any unlabelled images on the screen

Captchas have been for training ai for years that’s nothing new. Iirc the reason you do two is one to confirm you’re human, one for training data

VMs don’t give you the best impression as they tend to be laggier and sometimes buggy then they should be

Part of what impressed me about Linux is how snappy it is especially on higher end hardware, always used to think it was purely for rescuing old computers

Personally having tried dual booting I’ve found every time I have a problem I just ran back to windows

As long as you’ve got a machine that isn’t critical for work I’d just install bare metal and get a windows VM as a stopgap

Ahhh right gotcha

For all intensive purposes is that not very similar to just installing all the gnome tools on i3 though?

It doesn’t really, I mean on a technical level, like is it a fork of gnome with a tiling wm hacked in, a tiling wm with gnome bits hacked in or a completely different thing inspired by gnome

I open source everything I make whether it’s useful to anyone or not just for the sake of it, I document it for CV points

I wish the people in it for the money would hurry up and leave the market is so saturated

Wdym by blend, like it’s i3 but with all the gnome applications?
