    This has to be the most incredible looking Desktop experience I've ever seen, riced to the nines, more polished than macos, more features than kde plasma, this looks incredible and I want to try it and feel it.

    DT says it so well in this video, I've never really been one to shit on software projects, with maybe a VERY small handful of exceptions. The shitting on ubuntu always rubbed me wrong, shitting on flatpak and snap I never got, shitting on systemd because of Leonard Pottering I never got, DT puts it in such good words here. If you don't like it you are probably not the target audience.

    If Ubuntu is too bloated, don't try to debloat it, this is not windows, we have options, Ubuntu is one option and so much is intertwined together in something like Ubuntu if you think you want to try to "debloat" it good luck. If you have a problem with Snaps, this is probably not for you. You are probably looking for a distro with more control, probably something that you choose everything for.

    Lab Update | Cloudy with a Chance of Tech

    https://blog.thomaswimprine.com/blog/2025-07-07-Lab-Update/

    Always enjoy a good read through someone elses setup. I appreciate the desire for pi clusters they are cute, they seem cheap, but feel a bit overrated (at least for those of us with relatively cheap electricity). I love seeing the refurb "tiny desktops" getting a second useful life in a homelab after they have serve their useful life in the corporate world sitting behind the monitor of some reception desk. These things rock, they are underrated, x86_64, not ARM, so they just work. Until ARM becomes more normalized in the datacenter this is where its at.

    Enjoying watching David bring together his rss reader day by day. Excited to see where it goes. Im trying to get better at dropping notes like this without a ton of context, without needing to be right, just a note of whats on my mind and what I'm doing.

    uv cache prune

    https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/8/uv-cache-prune/#atom-everything

    Good point to check on your uv cache if you are running low on disk space. I checked mine today, and it wasn't too bad so I left it alone.

    
    
    du -sh `uv cache dir`

    https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/master/install/webapps.sh

    I'm digging these web2app's from DHH's omarchy for setting up an opinionated archlinux hyprland. This gives a way to quickly open a web app as an app either with a hotkey or run launcher in its own dedicated window that you can put on it's own workspace. I really like a workflow of keeping one window per workspace on one monitor and I can quickly navigate between apps with a single hotkey. This gives you the power to switch through things like chat, terminal, browser, steam game with blazing speed from the keybaord, no clicking no searching, just going directly to it.

    https://github.com/chase/awrit

    awrit is a full graphical browser that runs inside of kitty. I've moved on some of my machines away from kitty as the maintainer has seemed so hostile and there are other great therminals out there, but I'm going to give this a go. I have kitty running on my hyprland setup as it is the default anyways. It is actual chromium rendering to a kitty graphics protocol.

    I was wrong - YouTube

    Never did I think I would see the day that theprimeagen decided to run archlinux. Furthermore him to start ricing it, EVEN furthermore, Pewdiepie runs arch now, and thinks you should too?? and is promoting it on one of the largest YouTube channels ever?? Even DHH is getting in the mix with omarchy Such a cool transistion to see everyone find their way to linux and diving deep into the freedom and customization.
