You might look into displaying images in the terminal as well; many modern terminals support showing actual images natively

For anyone who is still confused about what causes this: Firefox launches copies of itself when creating new website instances (usually when loading a website that has not already been loaded). Because of this, if it is updated in the background (through any means; I usually see this after a manual system update), Firefox has to restart when you try and load a new site because it cannot create any compatible copies of itself, since the old version is the one that is still running and the copies would use the new (updated) version.

The solution is to only update when Firefox is closed, or restart it when it asks.

They said bcachefs; I don’t think BTRFS has it, at least not since I last checked.

Actually looking forward to the btrfs swapfile hibernation; I have tried setting it up on my machine before but the documentation was never clear on whether it would work (or why mine wasn’t).

Unfortunately, I don’t have experience with mangohud. Does Legacy work without it? And does mangohud work with other games?

Just going to ask this just in case: have you tried doing a full update and reboot? If you updated and have not rebooted, sometimes drivers get messed up.

Have you had any luck with hibernation with a BTRFS swapfile? My computer still does not start from hibernation, and I am not sure why, even though I followed the Arch wiki to set it up.

Just listing some things that I needed to do for working remotely on a personal device: have an antivirus installed, make sure Windows firewall is enabled, enable automatic updates, screensaver or lockscreen configured for 15 minutes of inactivity, and use a strong password (and a good password manager).

However, you can configure GRUB to use an encrypted boot partition, and even have detached encryption headers. It does take a bit more work, and you should make sure you know what you are doing. (e.g. losing a detached header basically means your data is all lost)

For my (admittedly nonprofessional) use cases, I have found nothing that Krita, Gimp, or Inkscape could not handle. Honestly, I think the UI is equal or better as well.

When I first tried Helix, my main concern (that prevented me from getting too far into it) was not going from Vim to Helix, but the other way around. Vim (or sometimes vi) is a standard editor on almost any Linux machine, so if I am ever working on a server if a VM, I would need to know/use Vim keybinds. That made Vim a more useful tool for me to learn at the time, as I could use the skills both on my machine and anywhere else.

If I remember correctly, they are both from Unsplash. I think I used their image API with “Colorful” or something as the search term.

Was looking for a furry one, and pawb.social seemed to be well-run (since it was related to a couple of decently-sized Mastodon servers) and was generic enough (and not NSFW focused). There also seemed to be a decent number of technical people there as well (in fact, one of the Mastodon instances is furry.engineer), so it matched up with my other interests as well. I considered lemmyrs.org, but ended up not choosing it.
