I briefly looked into Chaotic, and the pre-compiled aspect would only really have a measurable impact if your pc was old/slow. Most packages compile on a modern system in a few minutes.
From a security standpoint, a pre-compiled binary has trust issues vs. checking the code and pkgbuild files yourself. Traur gives me warm fuzzies.
3 of those 7 installations do not fit in “compiles in minutes”.
FYI I have since a few weeks switched to Mango, I’m really liking it. Not sure if I like Niri or Mango better now 
But I do like that I can do scrolling and other layouts with Mango as it does seem to be useful as scrolling is not useful for every type of thing you are doing, for example I like the monocle layout the tag where I startup my gaming launchers.
I didn’t know that existed!
Glad to know it’s not just me! 
Nox!!!
One of my favourite episodes, and a reference I knew @UncleSpellbinder would catch

Had to bring this up again. Heard much about restic but didn’t tried it. Maybe the reason was only CLI 
In the last days i played a little bit with it.
Fantastic tool for backup. And yes, the documentation is great. And thanks to that, the command line is no problem.
None!
I guess I’m feature complete now 
A friend recommended it, and after installing it I was impressed by how easy it makes it to see what applications and processes are communicating with the Internet on your system.
Vermouth. Someone requested the icon for it.
Description
A game and app launcher for Linux - native, Windows, and retro.
KDE-first, lightweight, no frills.
Anyone here ever given this a shot?
Picosnitch, very nice, thanks for that!
Can it actually block them, like a firewall, or just monitor them?
I normally use Portmaster, but picosnitch more lightweight.

EDIT: This is for extracting text from videos, regardless of language, for example, extracting the running score, penalty etc. during a sports event, its main use case is the hardcoded in-image subtitle extraction.
EDIT 2: Here, I extract price information from a video.
No, it can’t block connections. It’s just real-time monitoring.
I used Portmaster in the past but I always had issues with DNS using it. I prefer to use Opensnitch.
Same here.
Though today I realized that it will need a bit of love from the package maintainer as it has been flagged out-of-date since 2025-12-15 
I’m using the Arch Package:
extra/opensnitch 1.7.2-4
I know that I’m not on the most current version.
I had some issues with the AUR package when I moved from LMDE to EndeavourOS a few years ago.
