I've found cage to be really convenient when you want to run a single app from a tty. 5s to start gnome + ff is pretty good, though. Not sure how cage would compare.

What wayland compositor do you use for that? Have you tried cage?
Best to wait until the last second and switch cold turkey. What could possibly go wrong?
It's only insane if you have them all running at once.
Whole article? It's 10 sentences.
Bought a Pinecil a few weeks ago. No problems.
Ooo I just found out element added support for drop-in/drop-out voice and video rooms. That's the real killer feature they've been lacking I think. Will have to try it out.
Yeah, I saw that element is using jitsi under the hood for its screensharing. If that makes for a seamless user experience, that's great. It's been like 10 years since I last tried Jitsi, but it was not smooth.
TBH both disc and slack have their downsides, disc more so, so I'm fine if they just take the best of all worlds.
But yeah, screensharing is the deciding factor for me. As much as all my friends hate discord, we use screensharing all the time (it's just a bit jankier getting it working on Linux).
This one is clearly made to look like slack, which is great I need to try this out. Just wish someone would make one that looks like disc. And then matrix needs screensharing support.
Does it work now? I tried it around a year ago and couldn't get voice to work at all. It even had a message saying they were in the process of rewriting their voice streaming backend, and the legacy path may just be broken.
Make sure to check out the params on it. I noticed by default it disables the ability to switch tty via the keyboard shortcuts. Seems the main use for it is in "kiosk mode", so they don't want users to be able to escape the app easily. There's a param to disable that so you can still pop over to another tty (I forget what it is off the top of my head).
