Niche, I know, but I'm waiting on full functionality in Input Leap (Barrier fork which was a Synergy 1.x fork). Right now it sounds like it's 90% of the way there but lacks clipboard sharing. I'm running Wayland on my desktop, but this soft kvm is pretty fundamental to my workflow on my laptop.

Framework machines are great, and certainly upgradeable, but $300 they are most certainly not.

Living downtown typically means a lot more walking, biking, and public transit, precisely because you're there in the middle of everything. When you've got everything from grocery stores, pubs, cafes, parks, cultural attractions, etc all within walking distance, your need to drive anywhere becomes occasional at most.

Remote work forever, and repurpose the useless office buildings into conveniently located downtown living space to help ease housing shortages and drive urban density.

WHY is Gamora?

Anecdote, I know, but for my use cases, Wayland just isn't there yet- I wind up with far more random bugs and less battery life. I don't pretend to know why, I'm a pleb non-developer, but until that's resolved I'm still stuck on X. I'd love to use the new shiny thing of The Future™, but not at the cost of stability and usability.

I did this way back in the day on my Mandrake installation with a 1.44" floppy. Only tricky part was that I had to run cp from the floppy instead of from normal $PATH as I'd wiped out /bin.

Windows doesn't let me have a desktop cube or have my windows burn up or be torn apart by claws when closed.

Sure, I also like the GNOME workflow and the open source ethics and repositories and the like, but my inner 12 year old likes the eye candy, too.
