It is certainly not where it needs to be yet.

Thanks for qualifying that: Yes, I last used it in 2021 and then most of the faces I really used, I don't recall having paid for. But it does seem it is no longer what it once was. Not so funny that many apps rise in popularity, and then start squeezing their users fort cash.

Fast to open, search, sync compared to? To answer generally, though - no lags or long waiting for anything to happen.

In what way though? If you're self-hosting you just keep your server online. It does not need that central server at all to operate. Even if there are no updates it keeps running.

Shouldn't be necessary, as Google accounts have a setting for notifying addresses you provide after 3 months of no activity - https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3036546?hl=en. The account deletion was for accounts not accessed for two years, and I think it excluded those with YouTube video channels.

Seems there was some progress at https://www.reddit.com/r/nreal/comments/12z772e/nreal_linux_multiple_screens_poc/ but don't see any updates since 8 months back. NREAL was the previous name for XREAL I think.

If multi-monitor is supported via USB-C output, it should work? I'll also need to dig more into Linux reviews on this.

This is lighter in weight, cooler, and cheaper than full VR... It works well with Steamdeck from what I can see in videos. VR to me just not seem mainstream or standardised enough yet to make that investment.

Three fruits are part of my morning breakfast, along with Double Fat Plain Yoghurt, and powdered almonds and some plain cocoa powder.

Yes and no. It is good and I did one restore of some files that worked fine, but in my case it was noticeably affecting my boot up times, and I reverted to ext4 (boot ups were fast again to less than one minute). For some reason, BTRFS was resulting in quick login, but about 18 mins before my actual desktop was responsive after login. I spend many days trying to troubleshoot that. Maybe you won't have this problem. I had my SSD system drive on ext4 with Timeshift backups, and my /home partition on BTRFS.

So I'm back on my ext4 doing a daily automated backup to a second drive with rsync (LuckyBackup app). I think there are further kernel improvements coming to BTRFS later in this year. But I'll probably only retry it again end of 2023 or in2024. So if you decide to move, just benchmark your boot times, so you can judge if it affects them badly or not.

That said, BTRFS has some great features, lost no data for me, and I think has a great future.

Thanks I added it.

OK have added Kubernetes. The first 3 tho are freeware and not open source. It seems lens only has the core open source for extension development, and the overlaying Desktop Lens product is not actually open source?
