I use wlr-which-key for managing power profiles, monitors and more, what programs do you guys use for this use case?

 

The author of swww has renamed the project to "awww" and moved the project to Codeberg. They explain the reason behind it in their blog post.

Thanks for mentioning this, will give it a look.

Alpaca is the GTK client of Ollama right? I used it for a while to let my family have a go at local LLM's. It was very nice for them but on my computer it ran significantly slower than what they expected so that's that.

Stow's mechanism sounds great, at the moment I'm trying out yadm's handy encryption to handle some secrets and API keys. Will very likely switch to Stow anyway.

I've run several LLM's with Ollama (locally) and I have to say that is was fun but it is not worth it at all. It does get many answers right but it does not even come close to compensate the amount of time spent on generating bad answers and troubleshooting those. Not to mention the amount of energy the computer is using.

In the end I just rather spent my time actually learning the thing I'm supposed to solve or just skim through documentation if I just want the answer.

 

Just discovered this, it has templates, encryption and is rather easy to use because its a git wrapper.

I'm aware of these at the moment:

Which ones have you used? And which will you recommend?

 

For me:

  • wlr-which-key: It lets me execute commands quickly without me having to type those or remember keybinds.
  • impala & bluetui: TUI wifi and bluetooth connectivity with a lot of ease, speed and relatively lightweight.
  • waypaper: Sometimes I just want to test many wallpapers quickly and this is the most convenient of previewing them.

And then this happens:

$ command -h
Invalid argument
Usage:
    command [subcommand]
Available Subcommands:
    help
    version
    build
    etc
 

Over time my home directory gets filled with unwanted files, with xdg-ninja you can clean those up.

 

This launcher is command runner, app launcher, clipboard manager, emoji picker and calculator all in one. It is also one of the best looking launchers out there.

I felt so empty when I finished the game, it was so damn good.

Last week my brother had to use my laptop and install Rstudio(for some University project) because his Mac was too old and slow. I was out of home so I had to instruct him through the phone and I could hear his awe while he explained how easy was to install the program. He told me laughing that he could see the pacman and started to cheer for it, this made my day.

The web is so fat nowadays that it makes Windows look slim.

When I first used Linux I loved Gnome for the intuitiveness and simplicity but I did not like the same thing you were saying. I guess it makes a good desktop for tablets lol.

 

Let the fire fade — not your focus.

A just encountered this theme and loved it. By the way, Ashen comes with Helix's themes so one just needs to :theme ashen inside Helix to test it.

Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!

I don't use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

 

There is no Logitech Options for Linux but I just found this and solved my wireless mouse pairing issue plus I can now modify the DPI setting and more.

 

Its not the smallest, not the fastest but definitely one of the coolest.
