I use several, but the ones that I consider to be basic functions are caffeine, tray icons, places status indicator, removable drive menu and extended volume indicator. That last one is a nice example of my frustration, because it can't be installed on the current gnome version anymore, and having to open settings to switch my audio output is terrible. Every distro upgrade have been the same experience, and I lose some functionality

Long time Gnome user here: I like the general Gnome simplicity of use and workflow and got used to it, but I'm really tired of having to install extensions for very basic things, and of it messing all my extensions on each version upgrade, so I have to reinstall everything. I started experimenting with KDE, and looking forward to cosmic.

Content is also getting heavier, but both things aren't mutually exclusive. It's more objective to compare modern software, instead of older and newer ones. Before reddit created obstacles for third-party apps, they were famous for being much lighter than the official one, while doing the same (some even had more features). Now, if we compare lemmy to reddit, it's also much lighter, while providing a very similar experience. Telegram has a desktop app that does everything the web version does, and more, while lighter on resources. Most linux distros will work fine with far less hardware resources than windows. If you install lineageos on an older phone, it will perform better than the stock rom, even while using a newer aosp version. If you play a video on youtube, and the same one on vlc, vlc will do the same with less resources. If you use most sites with and without content blockers, the second one will be lighter, while not losing anything important.

I could go on and on, but that's enough examples. There is a bloat component to software getting heavier, and not everything can be explained by heavier content and more features.

That’s not bloat, that’s people running more apps than ever.

Not necessarily. People used to write text documents while looking for references on the internet, listening to music and chatting with friends at the same time in 2010, and even earlier, but the same use case (office suite+browser+music payer+chat app) takes much more resources today, with just a small increase in usability and features.

Bloat is a complicated thing to discuss, because there's no hard definition of it, and each person will think about it in a different way, so what someone can consider bloat, someone else may not, and we end up talking about different things. You're right that hardware resources have been increasing in a slower rate, and it may force some more optimizations, but a lot of software are still getting heavier, without bringing new functionalities.

To add to your comment, there's also the corp's willingness to make things more precarious, as long as it gets cheaper to run and people keep consuming, so the situation might be even worse. In your uber example, they could simply not care for the 5%, stop providing them the service and go full self-driving.

[-] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 2 days ago

First of all, 350MB is a drop in a bucket

People don't run just a single app in their machines. If we triple ram usage of several apps, it results in a massive increase. That's how bloat happens, it's a cumulative increase on everything. If we analyze single cases, we could say that they're not that bad individually, but the end result is the necessity for a constant and fast increase in hardware resources.

[-] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 2 days ago

It sure is. I'm running ferdium at this very moment with 3 chat apps open, and it consumes almost a gigabyte for something that could take just a few megabytes.

I also prefer to get my software from the distro's repos, but for software from third parties, flatpak adds a security layer, making it more secure when compared, for example, to aur.

I suggest you start with clay filter, trio elétrico, and learning some gambiarras,

In this world of enshittification and organizations becoming more and more aggressive, it's so nice and refreshing to see proton doing the opposite and moving to a better model :)

RISC-V seems to be gaining more traction and more space in the media.

As someone who worked (trying to) teaching people how to use computers, I can tell you that windows isn't user friendly. People just got used to it. I had a far easier job when teaching how to use android and a gnome gui.

I love the reader mode, it helps me stay sane, avoiding distractions and being able to use some heavy news sites on my low end devices. I wonder if there's a way to automatically open sites in the reader mode when it's available.

The system booted normally after the energy was cut, but if I try to run a dnf update again, I get this error:

The error mentions using "dnf clean packages", but it only downloads the packages again, and the same error happens. I tried searching for a solution, and found people recommending running "dnf upgrade --allowerasing --best " and "dnf distro-sync", but both these commands result in an error saying that the operation would lead to systemd and systemd-udev being removed.

Did someone experience similar issues? How did you solve it?

EDIT: I ran "dnf reinstall" on the conflicting packages, and it seemed to work for most of them, except for at-spi2-core. However, I noticed that the conflict was between the i686 and the x86_64 package, so I removed wine along with all i686 packages and tried again. It worked, and I managed to complete the upgrade, but I would still get the following error when running "dnf update":

Last metadata expiration check: 1:20:21 ago on Fri 26 Jan 2024 05:02:36 PM -03.
Dependencies resolved.

 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd, systemd-udev
Nothing to do.
Complete!

So I did a dnf reinstall systemd systemd-udev and it finally solved the issue.

Thanks for the interest in helping. I will leave the post here in case someone else has a similar problem and google for it.

Due to my line of work, I find myself having to use both these services frequently, despite avoiding google as much as I can. I see a lot of alternatives out there for internet searching, but when it comes to specific fields, alternatives tend to be scarce.

Isn't this supposed to be a job for the window manager?

For example, my virtualbox install has some mouse pointer bugs on wayland, and I can't run waydroid on X. These things are weird to me. Shouldn't window managers abstract all that for the software we run?

Just upgraded and the tracker-miner process is taking a constant cpu load of about 15%, and iotop shows a constant disk write that varies between 2 and 11 M/s.

It has been like this for a couple hours and shows no signs of stopping. Is this some expected behavior? Can I disable it? i'm worried about affecting my ssd lifespan.
