Maybe don’t try to drill a hole with a hammer…
There are many user friendly KDE distros.
There are many distros tailored for software development. Some of them certainly use KDE.
Linux is learning. Don’t be afraid to learn new things. But don’t make your work more difficult on purpose.
Another vote for the Supernote. I’ve got the Nomad and I’m so far pretty happy with it. I use it mainly for note taking, for which it excels. It was pretty expensive to import it where I live, but its worth it.
Sayonara is the one I’m using.
I hear you. I discovered Omnivore and was in the process of migrating from Pocket to it until less than a year later Omnivore was gone.
I don’t know what viber is. I also don’t think they won’t enshittify it. I just hope to buy more time until a similar service or technology appears.
Oh, you are missing so much…
I use Pocket since before Mozilla bought it. In combination with my kobo ereader, it changed the way I read the Internet for the better. Self hosting is no option for me and as far as I know Pocket was the best free read-it-later service. And the only one that worked seamless with Kobo. I really hope Rakuten buys it.
The bookmarks are already vertically aligned in the side bar.
You need Tab Stash in your life.
Tab Stash is great, yes. That’s the answer.
You just said it yourself. I do like to tinker. I can install a distro in 15 minutes. I can fix my system. I do make backups. Why would I need or want an atomic distro again?
“rough start” is putting it mildly. 🤭
My advice: try them all, then decide. They are all free. Most offer live systems. It will only cost you time, which will be well spent learning.
tl;dr: Break things and have fun.
Lightweight? I guess things have changed in the last 15+ years… I personally settled on Sayonara. Then I discovered Nuclear. Still undecided.
KDE has given me the desktop I need for the past few years. Hyprland isn’t a desktop environment, as far as I know.
Before KDE I used Cinnamon on Linux Mint. It was functional, but after many years I wanted a change.
Use whatever suits your needs. In my experience, KDE and Cinnamon are the most complete desktop environments without having to install extensions or extra software. Both are mature, have large communities behind them, and release incremental updates frequently. Those are my criteria for a good desktop environment.
And that’s why I don’t use flatpaks. Nothing like that has ever happened to me.
Vollkorn. The best I could find.
