Reviews are good to learn about each printer features if you don’t like to read. Then, just do a check list and see which machine has the best specs for your needs. At least that’s my approach when buying printers because at the end of the day they’re all extremely similar and capable all things considered. A consideration that may only matter to few is the proprietary/open-source aspect.

Reviews will only emphasize bells and whistles you may not even need. Everyone will comment on their personal experience which will vary with the machine they have and the gap can be huge for the same machine because it’s a piece of hardware/software and some may have flaws despite all the quality checks.

My tiling WM journey was awesomewm, I3, dwm, and now bspwm.

I use a modified chrome.css to hide all the bars in Librewolf. Interestingly my tweak for the address bar doesn’t work anymore, so I’ll have to find a new working piece of code.

I have gmail, exchange, and disroot accounts setup in neomutt. For gmail I had to generate an app specific password for neomutt because I use 2FA with gmail and neomutt doesn’t use Oauth2 as authentication method. Although, I was too lazy to try them, there are some options to use xoauth2. No surprise, exchange was the trickiest one to get working. I have to use Davmail for that. Behind an apparent complexity you just need your exchange email URL to get it running, and then you use the Davmail ports in neomutt.

Neomutt (with notmuch) is not easy when starting from scratch. Luckily there are some configurations online that get you up and running quickly. It still requires some efforts to get use to it and configured to your detailed and specific needs. I put sweat to build mine but it worth every single drop.
That being said that’s what makes its strength. It’s not an email client, it’s your email client. Once it’s configured, it’s good forever and using anything else feels like a pain.

While I’ve tried both, I am not sensitive to any of these trends. I’m just glad to see some alternatives that can fit anyone needs. That’s the power of the open-source.

Although I understand the reasoning beyond the language used in this post, I’m sad to read that hardened privacy is considered a power user thing.

I’m hosting my blog (using Hugo) on codeberg. Here is a quick howto.
The easiest option to post online for free with zero coding skills is bearblog. I’ve used it before hosting my blog on codeberg. Bearblog let you publish and organize your blog using an insanely simple interface.

There’s also the gemini option that’s worth considering. There are plenty of easy way to publish there. To cite a few: flounder, gemlog.blue, pollux.casa

Some sites don’t load because of some features disabled in Librewolf. You can enable them and have the sites load, but it defeats the purpose of the Librewolf configuration choices. Nonetheless this is still an option :)

When I first heard about Zen, I’ve tested it with EFF like I do for all web browsers I experiment with (from most mainstream to most unknown). Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer a full privacy.

Not everyone cares, but if this is something important for you, Librewolf has been the only one to come up with a full privacy protection result. Maybe you could achieve a good result if you use Arkenfox with Firefox… I didn’t try it.

I never owned this model but the ArchLinux wiki confirms that it’s supported, while “it is known to have very limited bios feature and limited Linux stability”.

I second that. The official documentation is always the place to start.

Then, if you need more info or other explanation I usually recommend looking at the arch wiki. Whether or not you’re using arch, instructions there are valid and one of the best you can find.

Doing that I can see the loading bar for half a second when reopening the app. As stated on the app webpage this is certainly to update the database with any new images but it doesn’t rebuild the entire database from scratch.
Maybe your cache gets deleted automatically when you close the app on your device. Make sure you have no other app that may do so.

This doesn’t sound like the normal behavior. From the app description: “This indexing process may take some time, but it’s a one-time event. Once this initial indexing process is complete, the app will store the index on your device, and any new photos you add to your photo library will be automatically added to the index on the subsequent app launches.”

If your experience is different you may let the dev know so they can fix it.

I use rofi as my app launcher and more. I’ve share my old script here.

I have now extended this script to support the following:

• execute a command if the input text belongs to /bin or /usr/local/bin
• do some basic maths (using menu-calc)
• open url in my web browser if the input text starts starts with http(s) or ends with .xxx (where x is any letter)
• translate the input text in English/French using the deepl website if the input text starts with dpen/dpfr
• search the input text with searx (if all the above failed)
• manage my web bookmarks (using buku)
• manage my clipboard (using copyq)
• manage my passwords and autofill fields (using pass)
• manage bluetooth devices
• manage audio sinks and sources
• manage my wifi and vpn
• manage my tmux sessions

Khal is also my app of choice for calendars, though it may not suit OP requirements since files are .ics Everything is kept in sync on my phone with Etar and DavX5.
Note that khal itself is the CLI aspect. It’s interactive interface (ikhal) is really the TUI aspect of this app.

ikhal is great to manage events but I prefer to use the command-line to create events. And this is the only minor complaint I have against khal: its lengthy commands and lack of user friendly dates support (like “today”, “next mon”…). Luckily all of that is easily fixable with a script which I should upload on my codeberg one day… I actually ended up adding edition and deletion support using (neo)vim and fzf so I don’t use ikhal anymore but only creating events is really faster and easier with my script compare to using ikhal.

I’ve been using xterm, urxvt, and st. Also tested alacrity, kitty, and wezterm. Your shell also plays a critical role in your terminal usage (but I won’t deviate here).
For my use-case, the latter are overkill so I stayed with st. The only missing feature for me was image support even though I use it sporadically. To cover that I use a script that relies on ueberzug or ucollage if I need to browse folders.

I’ve wrote a small post about ucollage if you’re interested.

Check disroot

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Great choice of laptop BTW ;)

I forgot about the distro. Any should work I think but Arch is fully supported if you’re interested.
