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.

For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

oooo. niri is a good one. I've had it installed on my fedora system for... Hell I don't even know how long but I just haven't been using it. I've really been wanting to use NixOS for a while but haven't had the motivation/determination to sit down and learn it.

Having my TrueNAS scale homeserver host some pihole, VPN and *arr. I’ve fallen behind the times.

I kinda wanna try Gentoo just for the experience, but as someone who already uses Arch, I'm worried it will take up more of my time than my current setup already does.

Mainly Firefox. It has quite a good extensions engine, but the overall UX just still isn't there compared to other browsers. I really don't care about all the ethical or moral reasons people try to come up with for using it, I just want a browser that has a lot of good functionality in comparison with Edge or Vivaldi.

And while I am aware of some of the forks like Floorp and Librewolf, I find the latter to be too hardened, and the former to be behind compared to upstream.
