Neigsendoig (my producer) and I have used i3 for a while… and we’ve probably stayed on that since we first started using WMs.

That said, we’ve attempted the likes of Xmonad (configured in Haskell), Awesome (configured in Lua), HerbstluftWM, BSPWM, Hypr (not Hyprland), JWM, Ratpoison and even SXWM.

Neigsendoig and I wouldn’t recommend any Wayland compositor due to new security risks (despite an attempt to fix X11 security issues), though a lot of people want Wayland to be shoved down our throats. We personally use X11 due to many things that Wayland devs can’t/won’t fix.

This is also part of the reason why the two of us are excited about XLibre (as much as some will hate the control of IBM, GNOME and FreeDesktop with their Wayland, Systemd and PipeWire push). Sure, its main developer left the project from what we’ve heard, but otherwise, there are a lot of contributions to it, and it will improve big time.

I’d rather self-host with rclone and NextCloud if necessary, as Google Drive is not for me. I won’t even be getting a Google account (though my producer does).

Not necessarily self-host, but I actually have an Obsidian vault that’s local-only. That is a vault where I can do my content creation brainstorming, especially script writing for Cocules Reddit Readings, of which I happened to be the new narrator for.

Otherwise, I try to do everything local without having to use something like Syncthing or NextCloud.

My producer, Neigsendoig, uses Wavlake. I’d be happy to provide a link if you all are interested.

My producer had used Linux for almost 5 years by now (on the 20th of this month), and I had used it for just around the same amount of time (shorter than him).

This is way truer than you think in my opinion…

My PFP is actually AI generated with a local model (Stable Diffusion 1.5) thanks to my producer, Neigsendoig (who goes by Sendo). Personally speaking, both Sendo and I are into generative AI, and use it with proper disclosure.

Most people should do that whenever they use generative AI for anything, provided that AI is an integral part of the production.

This is why I just use the Chaotic AUR, knowing that something like this was being posted everywhere. My producer, Neigsendoig, does the exact same with his machine.

We both use CachyOS anyway.
