Linux

i3w - I want to try it, but thinking, that if I'll use other programs requiring mouse it will all be for nothing

SimulaVR or any Linux VR desktop experience.

I want to lean back and be immersed on the desktop so bad, but only if it is worth the cost (e.g. not trading ever detail of house in ewal time to Facebook ...).

To be honest: my PC 🫢I just do not have enough free energy time

I've been using Niri with Xwayland-satellite lately, and it works as a charm. it works out of the box, and you simply run it in background, and launch your X programs with DISPLAY=:0

A billion dollars?

I love arch, but i'm planning on moving to atomic fedora eventually, but I use a bunch of niche things because i'm an early adopter, plus installing hyprland isn't easy right now

i'll switch to fedora atomic when pwvucontrol, tofi, hyprland, hyprland-autoname-workspaces, citrix workspace (work necessary), notiflut-land, bato, wljoywake, wayland-pipewire-idle-inhibit, ananicy-cpp, easyeffects, wl-mirror, gtk3-classic, keyd, iwgtk, qtalarm, kvantum and subliminal are all available, haven't checked which are yet

couple of those (pwvucontrol and notiflut-land) aren't even in the AUR yet so it'll be a while.

UKI. I'm still using grub because I know how to use it. I will definitely make the switch one day when I have an afternoon free or something.

There a few things I've wanted to try for a while, but haven't gotten around to it.

AstroJS (I've tried it, but only half-arsed)... It's cool, but the lack of native react support scares me...

Cosmic DE... Still waiting for the alpha.

Python. It's a good language, I've spent some time learning it, I'm just failing to find a use case for it atm.

Textual (Python framework). It's really cool, but OOP scares me.

There are a lot of "I like this in theory but nobody else I know uses it" social things like Matrix 😑

I want to learn stenography, but haven't really got to buying a keyboard designed for it. I also want to host an EteSync server, but the HTTPS thing has been a bit of a headache for me and I've mostly just left it sitting there.

I would like to give a proper try to a tiling window manager. I would like to try QTile, but I haven't gone through the documentation to understand how to customize it properly. Currently, I use GNOME (and actually, I like it a lot). Also, I love TMUX, and the idea of having the same flexibility and keyboard-centric experience on a broader level makes me think that I will love a tiling window manager when I try it. I'm interested in QTile because I know it's configured in Python (which is a programming language I already know), and apparently, it can be used on either X or Wayland. Have you ever tried using it on Wayland? Does it work properly? Besides QTile, what else would you recommend?

Also I stopped Using Emacs.... because it's very slow

I've been using a mix of Emacs and Neovim and plan to switch completely to Neovim when I have replicated enough of my Emacs config to be comfortable in Neovim. And speed is the main reason why.

Also, qutebrowser. I want to use it but it lacks workspaces support and as a self proclaimed tab hoarder I need my workspaces. I'm also still looking into a pasword manager for it (though I can always just use Bitwarden as an app)

DNS ad blocker. My network setup is more complex than I can understand and if I set up AdGuard/PiHole I have issues.

My TV. *arr stilll not set up and the gaming rig is still in its planning phase.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the question is perhaps a bit of a weird answer--but I really want to learn SELinux. It's completely overkill for my Linux desktop and the few services I run on my network. The same with OpenLDAP, I want to play around with it even though I have no real need for it with my setup, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

On that note, I also feel like I want to learn Ansible, or some other configuration management tool. The thing is, I haven't even played around with it (or any others) enough to really even get what the intended use case is. I'm looking for ways to manage policies and configurations across multiple machines in a common way, but it feels like the more common use case is deploying webapps. So while it's on my list of things I want to learn I don't even have sufficient background at the moment.

Then, finally, the other thing that came to mind was timeshift--or really BTRFS snapshots in general. It would be nice to have that additional feeling of safety while playing around with my systems.

FOSS remote camera control and fine art printing software is top of my agenda currently. Got a few avenues of enquiry but any recommendations would be welcomed, particularly on the printing side. I'd also like to become expert at using my current programs, especially GIMP and Ardour, for my own use but also so I can teach others.
