Linux

i3w - I want to try it, but thinking, that if I'll use other programs requiring mouse it will all be for nothing

LLM speech-to-text.

It appears continuous speech recognition is possible, but I only got as far as recognition of an audio file.

Still very cool!

To be honest: my PC 🫢I just do not have enough free energy time

I've been using Niri with Xwayland-satellite lately, and it works as a charm. it works out of the box, and you simply run it in background, and launch your X programs with DISPLAY=:0

A billion dollars?

SimulaVR or any Linux VR desktop experience.

I want to lean back and be immersed on the desktop so bad, but only if it is worth the cost (e.g. not trading ever detail of house in ewal time to Facebook ...).

I love arch, but i'm planning on moving to atomic fedora eventually, but I use a bunch of niche things because i'm an early adopter, plus installing hyprland isn't easy right now

i'll switch to fedora atomic when pwvucontrol, tofi, hyprland, hyprland-autoname-workspaces, citrix workspace (work necessary), notiflut-land, bato, wljoywake, wayland-pipewire-idle-inhibit, ananicy-cpp, easyeffects, wl-mirror, gtk3-classic, keyd, iwgtk, qtalarm, kvantum and subliminal are all available, haven't checked which are yet

couple of those (pwvucontrol and notiflut-land) aren't even in the AUR yet so it'll be a while.

UKI. I'm still using grub because I know how to use it. I will definitely make the switch one day when I have an afternoon free or something.

There a few things I've wanted to try for a while, but haven't gotten around to it.

AstroJS (I've tried it, but only half-arsed)... It's cool, but the lack of native react support scares me...

Cosmic DE... Still waiting for the alpha.

Python. It's a good language, I've spent some time learning it, I'm just failing to find a use case for it atm.

Textual (Python framework). It's really cool, but OOP scares me.

There are a lot of "I like this in theory but nobody else I know uses it" social things like Matrix 😑

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...

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 would like to give a proper try to a tiling window manager. I would like to try QTile, but I haven't gone through the documentation to understand how to customize it properly. Currently, I use GNOME (and actually, I like it a lot). Also, I love TMUX, and the idea of having the same flexibility and keyboard-centric experience on a broader level makes me think that I will love a tiling window manager when I try it. I'm interested in QTile because I know it's configured in Python (which is a programming language I already know), and apparently, it can be used on either X or Wayland. Have you ever tried using it on Wayland? Does it work properly? Besides QTile, what else would you recommend?

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)
