So… not on my TV then?

Yes, Pihole can solve that. “Normal” people don’t have Piholes though. And “normal” people really do purchase televisions, and install the YouTube app and watch videos with it.

Would that allow me to log in to my YouTube account, watch my curated recommendations, thousands-of-items Watch Later list, watch shorts, etc, just without ads?

Big no thank you to anything Nvidia. Plasma Bigscreen doesn’t seem production-ready yet, by the looks of its web site. Either way, that would require me to get a PC and run its output to my TV, right? I’m unfortunately not considering that option right now.

CachyOS, Steam Machine, I already have a beast Arch Linux PC that I game on, so that’s not necessary. But what about that Waydroid business? Would I flash that on to my LG TV and run that as its OS or what is that about? All of these github projects that people link to do such a terrible job of explaining what it is exactly that they offer, and what to do with them.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Anything for WebOS (LG TVs)?

This should only become a necessary solution if YouTube invents a way to inject ads directly into the video stream of the video you’re watching, like old school broadcasting.

Is that available for TVs?

Is that available for TVs?

If you just click into the article you are absolutely blasted with statement after statement that this is only for TVs. Obviously if you have an ad blocker you wouldn’t see ads. 🙂

Beautiful. That’s the great thing about this, isn’t it. We can just do whatever fits us best, personally. Not bound by the operating system or keyboard vendor. Free to continually modify.

Enjoy!

I ended up not using Colemak on mobile because it isn’t available for all languages I type, and it messes with the muscle memory too much. So swiping is QWERTY in the end, and typing is Colemak-DH. Pretty okay compromise.

All I really know I like is alternation (thank you dvorak) and outward rolls oddly enough. Also typing ls ~/ was awful in dvorak, so less right pinky. SFBs can be deceptively packed too, even trigrams. Other than that, the j/k positions didn’t sit right with me in layouts like Colemak, which is what Gallium showed me.

The beautiful thing about custom keyboards where you can change the layout and add layers is that you can add a layer where you have arrow keys basically exactly where you are used to having the hjkl keys. So you just hold a layer, hit the key you want, then it’s back to Colemak-DH again.

What this does is also that it makes you think about using numbers, so you might hit 10j instead of smashing j or down arrow 10 times. Or maybe use search, or symbol jumping. It’s what those features are there for, after all, for when the tiny motions are too small. 😅 If I use 10j, I might not even switch layers, because I only have to hit j once, and switching layers is more work than finding j.

Yeah that’s way expensive for the same amount of storage as Tuta at half the price.

Quite expensive, but the price per GB is better. On the other hand, I also don’t need that much space.

Good luck with your eventual transition to Linux! Check in with Lemmy communities if you want help with anything!

Hey, if you’re not missing any features and you’re not really curious either, I wouldn’t switch from what you like. But if you’re curious, I hear probably 9/10 people love Niri. People at work are always asking me what I’m running lol. I try to spread the word. 😁👍 Have a good one!

I was like you at first. Tried it once and went back to Hyperland.

Gave Niri another shot and then the mental model clicked. It’s just so comfy to not have your windows resized all the time just because of opening another app or window. The overview is also bomb. You can also install stuff like Noctalia shell which comes with a dock, so you can quickly switch to an app anywhere on any workspace. Niri supports that. 👍

And I use workspaces in Niri for the exact same reason. One for coding/work, one for communication (slack, email, etc), one for gaming/entertainment.

I recommend giving it another shot if you’re interested and open-minded to optimizing your workflows. Otherwise stick with what you know, that’s also fine.

You really don’t need thigh-highs to belong with the Unix family. Everyone is welcome.

Alright, tell me a bit about it? All I see are stuffed animals and stickers. I’m not into it at all—it feels juvenile—but maybe if you explain what’s going on…?

What am I seeing here? It’s hard to see your computer screen from here, to be honest.

Which tiling window manager did you go back to from Niri, and what made you not like Niri (a scrolling window manager)?
