Mommy.

I think a far better option for you then is building your own router, duel ethernet nuc + cheap ethernet switch or a rasberry pi + switch would both run fine and leave some headroom for running a firewall+dns+vpn+etc

Any reason you won't use OpenWrt? If you'd prefer linux then Tomato might be a better project for you. Routers that can run Tomato most likely can run libreCMC with some tweaks or patches from tomato applied

The "a" series is googles budget phones, they also use budget storage (ufs 3.1), its by no means super slow but definitely could be a contributing factor if your archive is very big with lots of random writes and reads

If your using a budget phone, storage tends to be slow

Even on some higher budget phones using slower storage is a regular cost cutting move

This should be a well know, but often misunderstood thing. Lots of reddit selfhosting threds urge people to buy a new mini-pc for its "low power draw" when usually its the same or 1-2watts less then a laptop from 2012. However performace to watt is much higher, so if you need massive preformance new is much better, if your system is idling most of the time anyway, basically no diffrence in buying old

The thing about Guix (and Nix) is that there doesnt need to be a package in the repos. You can either make your system automatically compile from source (which is how many AUR packages work) or use something like distrobox, bottles, flatpak to run extra software

Had the same problem on fedora (no issue on bazzite, nobara, or arch). First time it was xwayland that kept crashing without a display present for some reason, second time I never solved since I was distro hopping the fedora family of distros but it seemed to be a problem with SDDM

Everything except the compositor has been ported! Xfce recommends running xfce over labwc or wayfire for now

"Home Edition: Designed for daily use" - from their website

Something tells me it might be practial for daily use

Rpi uses 25watts? My old acer 6th gen laptop has a 15watt TDP and remains around 8watts 24/7 even with my services and without disconnecting the internals. My 8th gen laptop pulls 6watts with the screen on. People here saying older laptops arent a good choice are insane considering the ~$100-300 diffrence between an ewaste laptop and dedicated minipc + backup power bank (laptops have internal batterys you can easily replace when they go bad)

I don't have any proof on the music (im sure its out there tho) but the font they used is traced from a popular paid font. However copycat/traced fonts are not illegal as long as they don't steal the original vector code, so technically not piracy

Alpine just feels like everything on my system is there for a reason (and somehow makes arch feel "bloated") so I 100% understand wanting a full config file for everything on your system. But DAMN THE DOCS SUCK. Also NixOS locks you into systemd...

Imo theres a massive diffrence between using a massive companys software that only runs on their servers and generates money for them, and a completly FOSS tiling desktop that the creator almost quit because they get literally nothing from people using the code. The entire point of open source is to make software that benefits everyone nomatter the original creators views

You can try bass to run bash scripts in fish

Alpine!

More stable then arch, but just as if not more lightweight and customizable. I have nothing against systemD or GNU but for my usecase I just want something small and simple

This is much less a Linux problem and much more a communuty one. We really need a semi-centralized place to get recent linux info and a nice guide on linux specific knowlage for beginners, but then people will cry needing to learn what wayland/x11 and such are will turn people away. Whoever was telling you windows games 10-15% faster were fucking dumbasses, I have zero problem running any game I want on my machine but the preformace has been exactly the same as windows (which I still consider a win for linux)

The next big problem is people going "We don't need gaming distros" when those gaming distros are made to solve this exact problem. If you haven't already try out Bazzite or Nobara and it might "just work" (no promises tho). But a distro like Mint/Pop/Debian are going to have a lot of missing drivers/package updates for the latest hardware, Fedora needs relatively a lot of post-install tinkering to get things working since they only ship opensource packages by default, Garuda is not ment for beginners and uses a more unstable kernal for preformance, but you still need to tinker with drivers. Bazzite and Nobara are the two big distros that aim to "just work" out of the box and even re-package some software with the latest fixes. And incase you don't like the look of them, you can install whatever theme over KDE Plasma you want

Ofc I get if your tired of hearing "just install this distro instead" but a lot of advice is coming from others who also don't actually know whats going on under the surface, and sometimes your hardware just isn't supportes (not a linux issue but a manufacturer one). And if your at the point where using windows for gaming works and thats enough for you, nothin wrong with just using windows

Sorry I can't vc but I'd like to share some opinions/feedback. A lot of these are UI/UX things that I imagine won't be implemented until later in development but I would like to get them out there:

1. Please do not add AI to this (or at least keep it as a plugin). Seems like an odd ask but every webapp bookmark manager I've check out has added the most random AI features
2. Optionally see bookmarks under lists in the sidebar (including seeing lists under "unpinned lists" and bookmarks under "unsorted bookmarks"). For neatness sake maybe have it clamped to 10 items and have the rest listed as a single item + x bookmarks in a subtext color

    
List
  Sublist
  Bookmark
  Bookmark


  

3. Search for bookmarks
4. Rename, delete, and move bookmarks from the sidebar with a right click menu
5. Sidebar bookmarks show favicon of website. Bookmark page shows a preview of the website
6. Extra information in key=value for bookmarks, ie: price=49.99, and being able to sort by keys, ie: price <= 25
7. Hidden bookmarks: hidden by default from searches and list views unless "show hidden" option is toggled. I personally would use this a lot for websites I've read through already but might want to keep incase someone else needs the info
8. Archived bookmarks: archive the site itself and store it on the server

Yea my post was more asking why I'm hearing so much about only Ladybird when their in equally unuseable states. All the comments point twords Servo pushing itself as embedded rather then being a browser project (dispite having a mockup browser GUI) which is fair

Ladybird to be a browser must also be a rendering engine tho? The biggest compliant ive heard of Firefox vs Chrome is that Firefox isnt ment to be embedded, which makes Servo more of a chrome competitor than Ladybird which would just replace Firefoxes role rather then be something better. Not that I'm again their focus on being a browser, if that focus can get them to a useable state quicker
