yeah you need a decently fast hw accelerated terminal for it
for example, the gnome terminal is pretty slow; if you’re using it, try running it in alacrity or kitty and see if that improves performance.
I really like gnome and how it looks. However every time I try it I find myself in need of more functionality and so I install a bunch of extensions. For example I can’t live without a dock and some sort of system tray that shows which apps are running in background....
you’re using it wrong. ™
activity should be treated as the “default” mode of gnome (also you need to go to it do launch anything anyway)
also desktop icons suck
firefox were using self-hosted mercurial + git with sync
they just dropped mercurial, they’re still not on github
only misc. libraries and the android frontend are on github, and firefox/mozilla has never used gitlab
I’ve been wanting to move away from Dropbox for a long while, but I haven’t been able to find a suitable replacement. Dropbox has always been super convenient and has just worked for me....
google drive.
i pretty much sold my soul to google at this point
anyway they have my address, payment info, all of my photos since 2014, my preferences from YouTube, google maps data and since I’m using google location sharing and find my phone, they have access to my exact location at all times; and half of my payments go through google pay and I’m using android with my google account.
user-facing stuff you would commonly want to change?
yes, for example desktops like kde are extremely customizable, and that power is just a couple of clicks away.
on the other hand configuring internal stuff is jot intuitive at all.
Wait is that the same dell i have? (but i have the AMD version, aka the 3525)
btw i got a basically new one (1 month of use) with almost max configuration (16 gb of 3200mhz ram (8+8), 512 gb nvme, 120hz freesync ips, ryzen 5625u) for just 360$ and i think it’s a great deal
build quality is kinda bad and the panel is pretty slow but i still like it. (i can easily get 4-6 hours of rust development and browsing on battery out of it, which is good enough for me)
yeah i bought the “supercomputer” as a replacement for my asus laptop from 2015 that required regular percussive maintenance for the sound card to work. (controller for the hard drive and sound card were on a separate daughter board, which would regularly partially disconnect on the sound card side. separation on the hdd side was almost guaranteed hdd corruption, which happened once to me)
it had a fried dgpu, so no display output… also the display was borderline unusably bad (one of the most awful tn panels I’ve ever seen)
but it was actually fast enough to run gnome btw.
