I mean, yes, but I don’t think anyone is intending to do use packages only based one factor. Popularity is a reasonable heuristic for quality and long-term continued support. And my reading of OP is that they’re trying to gauge the popularity to use it for that. I think it’s also a decent enough measure for discovery, since usefulness (hopefully) should correlate with popularity and the latter is more measurable.

In the past, I’ve used Fcitix (in Plasma anyway) and found it to work well.

Since I switched distros and moved to Wayland though, I haven’t managed to get it working again.

I agree, this is annoying. It’s taking the place of what used to be an excerpt, giving me a hint about actual text on the page.

I haven’t seen that yet… hopefully it’s on the Duckduckgo side and a setting I can turn off. But it’s probably Reddit continuing to be frustrating.

I’m not against having the AI summary and I do see the utility, it should just be very clearly separated from the real content.

Ubuntu had a thing for a while where they would send you a CD if you asked for it. Friend of mine from school gave me one.

I really like App-images. For the most part, they just work, download, run, done. And sometimes you want the flexibility to install something the distro’s pacakage manager doesn’t give you (or doesn’t have the latest version of). It’s a little extra work to put the app in system menus, etc though.

Package manger still preferred. Having the system deal with updates and dependencies is nice.

AUR is still good, but I’d take the App Image. Sometimes these work for me, sometimes they don’t. Still have to manually update them, AFAIK.

There’s a more direct version of that, I guess from KDE, called KdirStat.

I hadn’t heard of the one in the op. But if I had to guess, it looks like it’s a different take on the same idea.

And I meant to say, most helpful resource for me was the website rtings. Most review and best of lists I can find by searching are so spammy, it’s hard to get any signal. But at least that one let’s me filter a table of printers by features. I just don’t know how many they’re missing.

Had to get a new one recently too. I’ve had good experiences w/ Brother in the past too, but couldn’t find one that quite fit the bill. Needed color and for it to be able to handle cardstock.

Ended up getting an Epson, one that’s in the eco tank line. Has been great so far. Works just fine out of the box on Linux (LTS Ubuntu, anyway)
