Piped Link of my does not seem to be loading

It's a bit like you're an unmanaged bot.... in case you got the wrong link as well, it should be https://youtu.be/g7x_ngYtj6Y

Sorry about that - I somehow chopped the last letter off - have fixed it now, but it is at https://youtu.be/g7x_ngYtj6Y

Manjaro Linux, also for my gaming. Booted up my secondary Windows drive yesterday on my main computer, just to update it.

KDE - using it with Manjaro now, but also used it on Mint before that.

We'd probably need to qualify this with "bad compared to what". I can't complain, as it does its job, and I've been able to tweak what I needed to. As I don't tinker with it every week, I keep a sticky note rolled up on my desktop, or I quickly use 'cheat systemd' to remember some key examples.

I was getting really long start up time earlier this year (like 19 mins before the desktop was fully responding) and after trying everything else I tried ditching BTRFS and reverting my /home drive back to ext4. Turns out BTRFS start and checks was killing my boot times. Now, as fast as anything.

The following have been my saviours though in identifying boot times: journalctl -b -p err systemd-analyze blame --user systemd-analyze blame

Actually no, sorry I see SimpleX is via a server. But why would Berty not work as it is offline and does iOS as well? Tox is another option https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tox_(protocol) but bear in mind their point made, that if there is no central server used, both (or all) clients needs to be actually online for any connection. There is no store and forward server in the middle.

iOS especially is a problem for WiFi enabled apps or cell to cell direct. Could also maybe look at SimpleX https://simplex.chat/.
