From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Also I stopped Using Emacs.... because it's very slow
I've been using a mix of Emacs and Neovim and plan to switch completely to Neovim when I have replicated enough of my Emacs config to be comfortable in Neovim. And speed is the main reason why.
Also, qutebrowser. I want to use it but it lacks workspaces support and as a self proclaimed tab hoarder I need my workspaces. I'm also still looking into a pasword manager for it (though I can always just use Bitwarden as an app)
FOSS remote camera control and fine art printing software is top of my agenda currently. Got a few avenues of enquiry but any recommendations would be welcomed, particularly on the printing side. I'd also like to become expert at using my current programs, especially GIMP and Ardour, for my own use but also so I can teach others.
I want to learn stenography, but haven't really got to buying a keyboard designed for it. I also want to host an EteSync server, but the HTTPS thing has been a bit of a headache for me and I've mostly just left it sitting there.
There are alternatives if you want to host your calendar and contacts and sync them securely. You could use Radicale and put a reverse proxy in front of it (Nginx Proxy Manager makes it easy to set up and easy to get and renew certificates).
the lack of XWayland support scares me
I've been using niri lately and couldn't believe so many apps wouldn't launch. I didn't know that was the issue. I had been manually editing so many desktop entries to make them work...
Virtual reality, but an old friend of mine has kindly offered to buy me an Oculus Quest 2 so I'm very much looking forward to what VR can offer.
One of my closest friends also did the same thing for me, I quite enjoy playing beat saber :)
I highly recommend Pistol Whip!
Nginx. I'm going to learn soon but I'm still new and it seems easy to screw up exposing things to the Internet.
Having my TrueNAS scale homeserver host some pihole, VPN and *arr. I’ve fallen behind the times.
Wayland on a 3070
Have you tried it with the recently released Nvidia drivers (I think its v555) yet? I hear the experience is greatly improved now that the drivers and compositors are both using explicit sync.
What are you using instead of emacs? I'm very happy with my doom emacs setup and it doesn't feel slow at all imo
Nano. Everything except nano and its forks is weird and bloat.
Have you tried neovim? More powerful than nano, but still super fast.
I'm not talking about performance but learning curve and unnecessary features. I don't really want to learn any key bindings or a whole new ecosystem just for a text editor I use to edit a config once a month.
Also that comment was sarcastic.
I want to use global keyboard shortcuts with Wayland that can be defined in the application, not the compositor. This makes using Wayland much more difficult for me.
And I also want to use proper Flatpak file permissions, but for Flatpaks to stop generating fake stupid random file paths so that this common issue stops being an issue:
Come in and set the file path to my games directory in my emulator. It works fine. Come back a few days later and it loses all memory of games, because it is receiving a file path from a portal that no longer exists.
