I quite like the option! I do love tasker, but if i only need auto tunneling this does it quite well!

Have you tried [https://github.com/zaneschepke/wgtunnel](WG Tunnel)

I use this WG client and it has options for auto-tunneling

Yeah, MusicBee is awesome. I wish it was on Linux too. I couldn’t find a player I liked well enough for a local library, so now I use Navidrome to host my library and use Feishin for playback.

Easy fix, use what works for you.

KDE works for me. I dont like GNOME. Doesn’t work the way I want it to. No hate, it works for some, it doesn’t work for others.

Nothing to get upset over.

Objectively, with the question asked as it was; there isn’t one.

However, for my use case and preference, I’m gonna roll with KDE. KDE offers everything I need. It has an weasy to use task bar, a menu, tray icons for lingering apps and controls, its dark mode out of the box is good, it support hi refresh rate, even HDR if you want it it can be as simple or as complex as you want. I can stick with how it comes stock basically and rock and roll. The discover store is fine when needed but I use CLI to install and update most things.

I have tried GNOME,XFCE, Cinnamon, Hyprland, Cosmic, Mate, and more but none of them fit my workflow exactly how I see fit.

Your mileage may vary.

Any plugins you’d recommend specifically?

You’re one of the first people I have ever heard who loves GIMP. Usually people in that world are brainwashed into Adobes products.

I appreciate GIMP and other FOSS offerings.

I started my Linux journey out or curiosity as a preteen, didn’t stick with it. Dabbled in college wi5h Linux. Ultimately I started down a privacy rabbit hole, started hating Microsoft the more I learned. Switched to Linux. Sure, I started using Linux for my machines out of hatred for Microsoft and Apple (and google…) But ultimately, now I just love Linux.

I have freedom to do what I want, how I want. I love supporting open source initiatives.

I didn’t say it didn’t matter.

I have seen people already say similar, but felt like chiming in.

The underlying djstro chosen matters less than the desktop environment or lack thereof. Well, sure you want to pick a district that aligns with your ideals and philosophies. However, as a lot of windows users delve into using Linux they see the distro as what decides the look (and feel) of their new OS.

While many learn about different DEs through different distros, I do think that the DE matters more for workflow for average users.

That being said, I jumped from windows to Arch. I didn’t want to be behind on updates. I also am a tinkerer by nature. And I am in the IT industry, have been for more than a decade. So Arch felt right ti me. So I have tried many DE and always go back to KDE. I want war over any being “better.” That’s a personal choice sincerely.

Hyprland was fun to tinker with, and it can be pretty. But I dont care about ricing as much as many of the stereotypical Arch users.

While I love the idea or NixOS, I haven’t pulled the trigger myself. And that being said it doesn’t seem “noon friendly.” Mainly because it seems to to against the standard paradigms.

Its a choice on Linux.

I am not sure why you dislike Kate, but that’s why we have choices. I personally am a Kate user. I used Notepad and Notepad++ when I was on windows. I looked around for a notepad++ alternative and tried Notepadqq butt stuck with Kate ultimately because it was standard on an KDE machine.

I am a FOSS enthusiast, and use FOSS whenever possible. However, my DAW of choice is Reaper. It may not be FOSS, but I love this application. It works well, on windows, on Linux. It’s powerful.

Different sync tools manage files differently. And it likely depends on the file type.

I personally opted for a self hosted instance of Vaultwarden myself.

It should work for you! Especially if you are connected to the internet. But of course, wanted to bring up the one flaw I could think of up in case it would be an issue for you.

The downside is that if a device you aren’t online with modifies it, and doesn’t reconnect to the internet or even LAN that the other client is on, other clients will be out of date and potentially cause file syncing/overwriting issues.

But SyncThing is a good tool for this.

All but my one box for proprietary hardware, and my work computer otherwise all Linux. Servers running fedora, or raspberry pi os, and laptoo and desktop running arch.

Well, I got a switch 2 and the controllers didn’t work with it until I did. And bug fixed with some of the extra features.
