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.

Nginx. I'm going to learn soon but I'm still new and it seems easy to screw up exposing things to the Internet.

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)

qutebrowser and Nyxt are both projects I desperately want to be capable of replacing my web browser.

Virtual reality, but an old friend of mine has kindly offered to buy me an Oculus Quest 2 so I'm very much looking forward to what VR can offer.

One of my closest friends also did the same thing for me, I quite enjoy playing beat saber :)

DNS ad blocker. My network setup is more complex than I can understand and if I set up AdGuard/PiHole I have issues.

Pihole let's you set up groups so you can always exempt certain devices from blocking if that's the issue. Otherwise you just need to go to your router and change the dns server to your pihole ip

Virtual Machines, but I'm too dumb to figure it out.

Have you tried it with the recently released Nvidia drivers (I think its v555) yet? I hear the experience is greatly improved now that the drivers and compositors are both using explicit sync.
