Honestly, I am pretty surprised that Baikal requires that much :D It should literally take no more than 100 MB of memory and way less CPU, IMO - or did you mean the size of a VM?

In general, I agree with the sentiment - at the same time, I think the idea behind Nextcloud is to cover more use-cases at once and serve as some kind of a “extensible platform”… and honestly, it does that quite well

+1, Thunderbird’s Calendar is the best OSS calendar application out there.

Pipewire and Wayland are boss brothers

For some time I have been lurking around this topic and for general computer use, including typing, talon seemed like the best option

I really enjoy how GNOME handles windows currently already.

Between having the ability to move and resize windows with Super + (mouse left|right), switching between windows of the same application with Super + backtick, workspaces and Super + type to search, there is very little to desire.

Unlike tiling VMs, this makes sense out of the box for 99% of the apps out there while providing a really quick way to get where you need quickly.

I am currently using e-cigarettes as a former smoker

I would say:

• if you aren’t smoking already, there isn’t really a good reason to start
• if you are smoking and sort of kind of want to continue, e-cigarettes are most likely healthier than analog
• if you are smoking analog and want to quit, there are better ways to quit for sure - I don’t feel like committing to quitting just yet, however when I do feel committed, I will go with the tips outlined towards the end of the Huberman Lab - Nicotine’s Effects on the Brain & Body & How to Quit Smoking or Vaping podcast

I think that’s kind of the benefit of Git repositories in general; you really don’t have to do much to start contributing on any platform, really - just sign up, fork, git clone and MR (for most of them except sourcehut, really, where you use mail to send your patches in)

The barrier of entry for people that are already comfortable with Github and git in general is basically nonexistent on any of these platforms - which is a plus
