The good news is that something like this already exists; just goes to show it’s a matter of time before more refined options are developed.
As an aside, there are now plugins for Noctalia Shell, including a pretty good “Keybind Cheatsheet” plugin, which may make it easier to pick up and play with things like niri.
So there’s not a full distro built around it, or even a full desktop environment, but you should check out niri. Keyboard focused, infinite scrolling, Wayland tiling window manager.
There is a nixOS flake or it can be installed over Arch, Ubuntu, or whatever else you want.

Do you have your wifi password saved in your KDE wallet?
There is an option to not save your wifi password using the wallet, otherwise you will be prompted at startup as soon as it attempts to connect to wifi.
24·22 days agoMaybe a positive side effect will be OS and applications beginning to be more conscious of their RAM consumption. I am absolutely certain that due to the era of cheap memory storage, applications (browsers especially) have gotten insanely bloated.
Keep AI models out of your web browser and core operating system, and maybe 4GB can still cut it.

Do we really need more than 640k of RAM?
In short, I want Linux to work for me and other technically-minded enthusiasts […] Is this an elitist view? I don’t think so.
Is it elitist to gatekeep Linux for technically minded enthusiasts? Yes.
Especially when they end the article with “I for one hope it never does”. Definition of gatekeeping and toxic elitism.

5·6 months agoVibe coding is one thing, but I am curious about the state of using of AI tools to reduce the cost of generating 3D assets, animations, and textures. I assume they are introducing this into Ignite and their other build tools, for more rapid prototyping if nothing else.
8·6 months agoWhile I don’t disagree, how long should hardware vendors be required to support their products? I agree five years is probably too short, but there needs to be a limit to their liability.
Though in a perfect world, they’d open source their drivers well before then… Looking at you, Broadcom…
Yes, technically. This message is saying no new firmware updates will be forthcoming for your model. The unfortunate reality, though, is that most consumers rarely update their router firmware, regardless.
There has been a very large increase in attacks on home and small business routers, which are then used for botnets and espionage. Look for articles on Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) router attacks, but here are a few:

SOHO routers are ubiquitous and inexpensive devices that connect millions of Americans and small businesses to the internet. However, due to widespread sale, and subsequent use, of insecure SOHO routers that lack basic security features, threat actors, including the PRC-sponsored Volt Typhoon group, are exploiting these devices at scale.
If you are concerned, it may be worth investigating if your device supports OpenWRT, or upgrading to a newer router under active maintenance. I see the Netgear R6700 as supported on the OpenWRT Table of Hardware.
AMD announced they were released earlier than planned. Even if they were always intended to be released open source eventually, it was still not a planned release.
Made in Abyss is pretty insane.

Yes, but 20 billion parameters is too much for most GPUs, regardless of quantization. You would need at least 14GB, and even that’s unlikely without offloading major parts to the CPU and system RAM (which kills the token rate).

This isn’t directly due to industrial air pollution, but rather is the much harder to solve downstream impact of climate change.
I would look at CISA’s Logging Made Easy project, which is based on Wazuh and Elastic with Kibana for visualization and dashboards.
