Yeah, I noticed a speed increase compared to my previous DDG + Startpage too; especially bang execution.
I don't have a link handy but I've seen it done before.
Sooo Indian authorities tried to reach out to PM directly, PM didn't comply because India has no authority whatsoever over a Swiss company and PM had to ask the Swiss authorities to go tell the Indian ones to use the proper channels instead?
Yeah, Xorg (and the apps) will likely die. There is a wayland protocol in the works to be able to gracefully handle driver resets but I'm not sure on its implementation status.
If you're using containers for everything anyways, the distro you use doesn't much matter.
If Ubuntu works for you and switching away would mean significant effort, I see no reason to switch outside of curiosity.
Which part of the path does not exist?
Is it the correct GPU number?
amdgpu has a recovery mechanism built in that can be triggered using sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/N/amdgpu_gpu_recover where N is the number of the DRI device in question. You could bind a shortcut to doing that I presume.
While these can help on other issues, these will do nothing if the driver has an unrecoverable issue.
I don't know shit about plural systems and have no idea about PluralKit but I can already forsee two issues that regular user accounts would have:
- There may be systems who switch operators frequently; having to switch between multiple accounts could be a major hurdle for fluent conversation
- Some systems may have too many operators to reasonably manage accounts for
As far as I understand it, PluralKit is more of a hack for acting as multiple pseudo-accounts with the convenience of a single (platform-) account. Given that Matrix, Element and the like are FOSS, it ought to be possible to build such a convenient single-"user" multi-account mechanisms into the clients or even protocol themselves rather than relying on hacky 3rd party add-ons.
Especially given that the user base of Matrix is far more likely to come into contact with plural systems than the general population is. (In the communities I frequent, I know of at least one and would not be surprised if there were quite a few more.)
The operating system is explicitly not virtualised with containers.
What you've described is closer to paravirtualisation where it's still a separate operating system in the guest but the hardware doesn't pretend to be physical anymore and is explicitly a software interface.
Firefox has a search widget. It probably just works if you set Kagi as the default.
