Productive: Maps, check the stock market, read non fiction/Wikipedia, pay bills, translate voice or text written in a foreign language, use as a bike computer or GPS tracker, hail a ride/taxi, rent a bike, communicate with people.

Fun: Read books/comics, amateur photography/videography, puzzles, listen to music.

Purposefully left out apps that cause doomscrolling and addiction.

I personally don’t see a value until we can get rid of the title bar and gain some vertical space.

I say this as a sane person who maintains under 10 tabs at all times but I do acknowledge that most of you are lunatics when it comes to browser tabs.

PSA: Always add a “show me the results” choice to keeep the responses fairly noise free.

Oops, self swoosh to me.

Nah I just posted this as a joke. I am on Fedora + KDE. Mainstream and boring as they come. Rock solid and stable though.

Haha nice try. If everyone starts liking it then it won’t be niche anymore. So I won’t share it! /s

Israel is committing genocide and it’s not antisemitism to oppose war crimes.

I just came across a specific video and I remembered your comment. This whole video is good but you can start watching from 8:42 and 10:49 marks since you requested for a timestamp.

And if you have 24 minutes to spare here is another video with packed full of examples.

You could probably run Windows 7 without any issues at all.

Fedora KDE. Rock solid stable and my daily driver.

Fennec, a flavour of Firefox that strangely consumes much less battery than the official Firefox app.

Good for you.

Colonel Panic. Different spelling though.

but you have no idea how many or what kind of tabs either of us have,

Can’t speak for you but I certainly do have an idea of how many and what kind of tabs I have and how many and what kind of tabs I used to have in Chrome.

How come it has no value? I used to run Chrome but now I run Firefox. My browsing habits have not changed yet the memory consumption has greatly improved. It may not have any value to you but it certainly was a valuable experience for me and I made the comment hoping that it might find someone who is in the same situation as I was. I’ve got nothing to prove and nothing to gain. Anyone may run their own experiment.

One of the reasons I use Firefox.

Good. Maybe experiencing this kind of thing first hand will change her and her colleagues’ views.

What were you trying to say with this then?

Simple defaults has been fedoras thing for a long time.

So has been KDE’s for a long time now. Even more so in Plasma 6.

steamdeck completely changed my opinion.

What do you mean? Did it convince you to keep using KDE or did you go back to another desktop afterwards?

Yep. I use other distros but always come back to the dd command example on Arch Wiki when I make a bootable USB.
