What?

You could hack something together with KDE widgets (plasmoids I think?), creating an array of app launchers on your desktop.

It’d be a completly manual way of doing it though, so up to you if you think it’s worth it.

I’ve been using Fedora KDE on a 5625U on my new laptop, gives me about 5 hours.

I use this program auto-cpufreq with the “Powersave” setting and that gives me about 7 hours with barely noticeable performance degredation.

Thanks for reminding that part of my brain to bully the other parts into doing LFS.

You should look into window managers such as dwl if you want a truly minimalist experience.

• Proton & Lutris
• Libreoffice & Nextcloud
• G.I.M.P, Inkscape, Krita
• It’s cooler, more secure, more private, more trusting etc.
• More compatible than Windows 11 that’s for sure

Everyone should use Linux, it’s just whether or not they can use Linux.

I’m a teen and I second this opinion.

And a lot of linux programs take inspiration from Microsoft’s design because they’re the norm. When you think of a word processor you think of Word, same goes for all of Office 365 actually.

Look for a large spike, that’d be the deck.

Yep, wired VR it is then for the time being. Because of a recent leak there’s speculation that Valve are releasing some new VR headset, also the fact that they updated the SteamVR UI to feel more “Steam Deck” is good evidence, I guess we’ll wait and see…

Is it? Yeah maybe not then.

Guess I’ll go live in the country.

I think the Quest 3 now has DRM and a bunch of other intrusive components, so that’s definitely off the table.

Pico looks promising, will have to do more research.

That was one incredible cyborg rabbit-hole I just went down.

• Linux

Obviously

• Wayland

So we can finally say goodnight to X

• XFCE

For low-end devices and people who don’t like bloat, we can still have a modern desktop.

• Nouveau / NVK

Nvidia are currently dominant, so new users probably have Nvidia GPUs.

• Open-source AMDGPU stack.

Why not? I’m only five items in.

• Blender

I want fast fluid simulations and RTGI in eevee.

A scoldingly hot take.

Don’t know if it counts as “classic”, but Mortal Engines comes to mind. The film cut out over half the book. I loved the book and got really excited for the film, but it was a massive let-down. They could’ve easily made the film twice as long, maybe more.
