KDE for me was death by 1000 cuts. I’d get a notification that I need to reboot my system but clicking the X doesn’t close it. The settings GUI pretty abysmal, but ig when you compare it to Windows it still looks golden. Randomly can’t wake up from sleep sometimes until i restart my display manager from a TTY. The “task manager” didn’t let me see all running tasks… It’s somehow so polished while also being janky.

Gnome alternatively is all polish, but you have to fight tooth and nail to go beyond defaults. I’m sure it’s more bloated too.

Now im on Niri with plenty of other problems but at least they’re my fault!

edit: I feel the need to extol the virtues of KDE plasma as I still do return to it when i’ve had enough of niri’s BS for the day

my only regret is that i have boneitis

You’re correct. I think a lot of folks are looking for something decentralized/self-hostable to avoid the lock-in disaster that Discord has created, at least, I am. And I have found a dearth of alternatives! Good article, though.

I did. It isn’t a viable selfhosted alternative atm unless you want to do actual dev work

The replies aren’t in good faith anyway. People get butthurt and deflect when you call out the cruelty of their habits.

Pedantry warning

403 is “Forbidden” – I think it’d be a 429 (Too many requests) or 5XX error if the servers are overwhelmed

I’m sorry I’m like this 🙇

Eh. Most often you’ll notice bad work with fillers and other surgeries. “Botox” is code for “women getting work done that I as a man on the internet don’t like.” (Not that you’re doing that)

Might I suggest vivaldi

hey we users just use apt now

I bet! Just sucks to constantly be rug pulled

I guess it’s deno time :(

A real girl’s girl :p

I am glad I didn’t notice enough to impact my enjoyment! Mädchen Amick will do that to a guy (or Sherilyn Fynn) (or Kyle MacLachlan) (or David Duchovny…)

Im due for a rewatch

The original seasons are so dreamy and bizarre. Totally worth if you accept what you’re in for. Still have to watch the movie and new season

What language?

I get it! For those like me who are lacking context, here’s a decent article:
