I have mixed feelings about this! Yes, customization is part of the fun, but you need time for this. I think it’s easier to be able to quickly have a working desktop with a shell like this. Plus, it’s light and maintained, and you can tune it the way you like. Customizing is fun, but there’s no need to reinvent the wheel!

Exactly the first thing I disable as well!

Oops. It was my first post here, I thought I had pasted it as well. Thank you!

I have a 6700XT and was using Debian Testing (it was trixie), it was super stable, then it became to be extremely unstable around april 2025. I think it was a mix a buggy mesa update and a buggy kernel update. It was so awful that I had to remove Debian :( (multiple full freeze a day). I went full Gentoo and it was super stable. I tried trixie again some days ago and it was still extremely unstable, unfortunately… (only on this machine, the others work fine). Mesa 25.3 has fixed a “turn page flip error” on these cards, but not everything is smooth.

Too bad X didn’t ban all European users so our rulers would be forced to choose a better communication platform!

Medieval 2 was the only Total War to picked up my interest! Really good news :)

I don’t want to use automatic updates on self hosted projects but I subscribe on github / gitlab releases in my rss reader (FreshRSS) and update when I want to!

Interesting! I’ll definitely have a look 🙂

Hey, thank you for this! I’ll test it later. I was planning to eventually do the same thing (and in rust too).

Thus said, something that I always find impractical with simple todo lists, is that you cannot use it with subtasks. For example, if I want to manage a large project with it, I would need to create a task “Refactor this worker”, and add subtasks “Delete old function”, “Handle the new property”, etc.

I cannot flatten the subtasks in the list because their names wouldn’t be explicit, and making their names explicit would make it a burden to read, and it would make it difficult to follow the main task progress. How do you handle such things with your software?

I had tried in the past and optimized the hell out of it, but I found that’s a really slow software. I appreciate the features, but it looks like they have made a really bad foundation, and built some nice features upon it. Seafile is WAY better performance wise! (but less features). Depending on your needs, the best middleground I’ve found is syncthing between my PC and sftpgo to expose webdav / sftp. There is no lighter setup than that.

I have a been using it for 2 years and I was playing games without any problems. Thus said, I agree that they need to setup nvidia drivers if they are unlucky to have one.

Don’t go onto specialized distro. Just use the main ones like Mint (which is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian). I would say that Debian is the best one, but it needs to read some docs if you have a Nvidia Graphic card (but if not, it should be easy and super stable). Bazzite, Nobara, etc, are based on distro that are quickly changing (Fedora or Arch), which are really nice in their own way, but as a beginner, you need stability first!

Try this : https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=325 It is Linux Mint, but directly based on Debian instead of Ubuntu!

If you don’t need to do 3D work, you can still use a virtual machine with kvm, it is really fast! (then ditch Windows :) )

I use Trello to organize my life, because every other solutions I’ve tried aren’t enough to keep up in the long run, unfortunately. I even considered developing an open-source clone of it, but never dive into doing it (yet).

11 > 12 > 13 is way safer!

It’s not good for your mental health to get news that have only a point of view. Always look both sides to make your own mind!

Wonderful project!

I think you’ve tried a distribution for advanced users… Something like Debian would not have triggered that! Also note that regarding dual boot, most of the time, Microsoft can be in cause (if you’re not using UEFI, if you have secure boot, and others).

Both, Canadairs have been flying near the runways for hours, refueled at the airport and took water near the runways (but usually that’s okay, because they try to stay out of the way).

It’s really well designed. I’ve tried with local french trains, and it worked well! Thank you :)
