I self-identify as an nblob, a non-binary little object.
Of course whatever works for you works too, we found workarounds for what we need.
Yes it’s more convenient because it’s a keybinding away. Also, on Wayland I have to use kernel modeset and it is impossible to “overclock/undervoltage” the GPU to save energy. I also get more frames on X. It’s not that KDE on Wayland is bad…it’s exactly switching to X just to do that to play games is inconvenient.
It was annoying at first for me too but they tell you how to bypass it, so can’t you just use the flag --break-system-packages and make it an alias for pip?
I’m curious what you mean by “no animations while playing games”?
I like Wayland and use it on my laptop. But I also have Nvidia on my PC and while it’s janky at places, I don’t get all the problems you describe (at least on i3 for me)
I use multiple monitors with different refresh rates and don’t really have any major issue. It syncs with the highest one. I indeed don’t use a compositor because it’s distracting and also turn off all the composition pipe line stuff. The result of turning off the latter is less latency and a teeny tiny bit of tearing in the lower 3rd when scrolling web pages but that’s it.
Games can run utilize gsync when in-game vsync is enabled so long as you disable the second monitor with xrandr.
What about simple calendar with the agenda widget?
Hmmm, that isn’t open source, I don’t know if one can trust it. Why does a browser need in-app purchases? Try Mull or Cromite.
Edit: from the description, it uses Brave Search (to answer you question), so it doesn’t send to Google your queries. But I’d be careful with an app with a bunch of SEO keywords in its description.
koreader is good if your platform supports it.
I use a second-hand kindle on airplane mode and just transfer books to it from calibre. E-ink is better for my eyes.
I see 4 here.
Being downvoted for a Wikipedia link? You have ghosts following you, it seems.
In French culture, wearing them is not something French people would do.
Explain to me what French people wear in French culture. Are you trying to stereotype French people here? What do you call the Muslim population who migrated to France, hold citizenships, have children, speak French, work in France? Are they not French? Or are you implying that French people cannot be Muslims? What about white French who converted to Islam? Are they no longer French?
SSH into my PC, from there pretty much anything is possible. Neovim works pretty well.

Have you tried Sublime Music (GTK)? I used other (Electron) alternatives but Electron sucks, Sublime Music feels pretty fast.
Reminds me of MusicBee, good ol’ days.
Agree with your analysis, just pointing out that Phoronix forums have always been like this, or at least the tendency is to insult each other. Their culture is more toxic than any other Linux forums I’ve seen, maybe besides /g/.
On my personal computer, zoxide, fzf, fzf tab completion allow me to jump around anywhere quite easily, I still use exa/cd for the most part. Look into this if you need more visualization. I still use a GUI file browser from time to time.
Oh my server though, I still use the default shell, so yes I just memorize where things are. But a trick is to allow for a large history file, and I use the command history search (Ctrl-R) because I tend to run the same things constantly. My setup helps too, I run things in docker, and have a data and a config directory, things go into each accordingly, and I bind mount those directories instead of using volumes.
If you edit config files a lot, in vim or nvim, :bro old will give you a list of files you recently edited and you can jump to them by inputting a number.
I’ve been waiting on this issue the day it was posted… It doesn’t bother me as much as I have a second vertical monitor so the flashing is at the edge of the vertical one, and it’s definitely reduced but not gone away. Coupled with these recent driver updates, my X server just gets slower over time (not in game, thankfully).
Nvidia doesn’t even have to go FOSS, they can just go OS, and this issue could probably be resolved by now due to increased transparency of what the f is going on with the drivers, as well as better collaboration between kernel developers and driver developers. Who knows what they’re attempting behind the curtains, 3+ releases since this bug was filed and still not fixed.
A genuine fuck you, Nvidia.
Nope, seems like an issue for a lot of people, including me.
Yeah, that’s also why I use Ghostwriter as a Typora replacement. The KDE team developed it.
What about https://floccus.org/?
