Wake me up when we have Chrome-style tab groups in FF.

Yes, and Obsidian has a Linux installer.

beligerent god (sic)

You mean beneficent?

Photo. Need photo.

I’m on a similar path to you: Started with Ubuntu because a friend of mine had also dabbled in it, plus it has a large online community. Switched to Mint shortly thereafter, where I stayed for a while (more than a year). Currently on Fedora for the more recent packages, but sometimes I miss the familiar look & feel of the Cinnamon desktop environment (came from Windows and still use Windows for work).

On my gaming PC, I’ve gone from Windows to Pop_OS! to currently on Nobara (again, for the more recent packages).

ETA over Christmas of 2023 I installed Mint w/ Xfce on my mom’s new (used) laptop and themed it to look and feel like OS X. She knows it’s not a Mac, and I had to teach her some new workflows, but more than a year later she’s getting along well with it. Saved her a grand in the process.

Jury’s out on disabling Javascript unless you only visit the same sites again and again. Since installing NoScript, I have to load and reload every site multiple times while I guess which domains to allow in order for the site to actually work. I’ve white listed the bare minimum on web sites I use frequently, but it’s still a daily occurrence that I visit a site I haven’t been to before.

A portable router when you’re traveling?

Right now hash tags on the largest pixelfed instance (pixelfed.social) are broken—clicking a hash tag in a photo’s caption takes the user to a missing page. Even on other instances where browsing by hash tag isn’t broken, they aren’t federated, so if you click #Amsterdam, you’ll only see other photos on the same (smaller) instance, and it’s not even obvious whether that’s working right because the post count will say one thing, but it’ll only show you like three or four photos.

Lots of potential, but it’s just not there yet.

Repost.

I’ve been on Lemmy for a few months now and am really enjoying it. I think I’ll stay.

I’ve also been thinking about starting a Pixelfed account so I can share some photos I’ve taken recently. In my poking around the last few days, my first impression is that the bones are there, but it’s still rough around the edges. For example, clicking a hashtag in a photo caption to browse all photos with that hashtag is currently broken on the largest Pixelfed instance, and even on the smaller instances, browsing hashtags doesn’t appear to be federated, so there’s basically no way to discover photos of a certain hashtag or for others to discover my photos unless we are on the same instance, which seems to kind of defeat the purpose of moving to a federated service. Not that hash tags are the most important thing, but kind of a bummer from a discoverability standpoint. I may bite the bullet and sign up anyway, we’ll see.

That first “i” looks superscript while the other ones look regular size. Could that have something to do with it?

What’s so bad about lemmy.ml?

Caffeine is why I use Gnome.

bcachefs

initially read this as bca chefs

NVK, the open-source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA hardware in Mesa…

In case anyone else needs a reminder like I did.

Looks okay in my view. Tapped and opened the link in the Voyager app on iOS.

point in time restoration, or snapshots

Do you mean like not just having another copy of a file, but being able to restore a specific version of a file?

I noticed for file level backups you mentioned something other than rsync. Any particular reason why you landed on restic instead?

Hmm…maybe test what it does when you boot into live on USB or a different distro altogether, just to isolate whether it’s specific to this distro/configuration or something to do with your hardware?
