Running Plasma instead of Gnome for the first time in years

Jump

  • This is the first time I've heard of this, and I pretty much always have more than one DE installed and have never run into issues. Assuming you're using a display manager (SDDM, LightDM, etc.), it should handle loading whichever graphical session at the time of login properly.

    edit: For clarity, what do you mean by "installing another DE *on top * of an existing one"--like kludging two DEs together in the same X/Wayland session? If so, that sounds like a horrible mistake that lead to that happening.

  • Same here with the Super+

    <number>

    to switch (or equivalent function key if you use that binding for something else), and similarly Super+Shift+

    <same key used to switch to workspace>

    to send the current window to that respective workspace. For me, without the second one workspaces are waayy less productive.

  • ngl though, in that context, a half liter of water per query is also fucking insane.

  • Nah man--I did the same thing, but turned all units into power consumption. Regardless, my point was that you can't drink AI, and maybe prioritizing the usage of vital resources needs to be reassessed.

  • Sorry, I thought we were talking about the amount of power desalination uses. Didn't even know AI consumes water.

    edit: wait a minute--why the fuck does AI consume water???

    Second edit: sorry, I got caught up in the original comment talking about the cost per minute for desalination, and immediately went to assuming they were talking about energy costs.

  • Oooh oooh, now do one for the AI GPU farms. Now, a lot of people would argue these are not a comparable use of vital resources, what with water being critical for the survival of all life, and AI the current billionaire snake oil.

    But I mean, what's really more important than generating capital to grow the net worth of a few people by a few percents so that we can input text to generate pictures of a sick-ass panther or stories that lose the plot less than three sentences in?
