The classic #x11 window manager and desktop site xwinman.org came up in an unrelated #inxi issue on #codeberg. I had used that site to create the original list of window managers inxi supported, but then I didn't think about it.
One thing led to another and I found most of the site, except the /archive/ section, which is at archive.org.
Since this is roughly my skill, I grabbed the site, upgraded it to modern responsive html/css standards: https://smxi.org/wm/
Try it on your phone!

@smxi @eht16 Before using #kate I was using #geany and was happy with it; but I didn't used it from years now, from my memory the functions that made me switch to Kate was the ability to get multiple documents opened in different panes (I most of time have 2 to 3 panes to be able to get what I need under my eyes) and session manager
One thing I need to take care about is also, Geany was written in GTK if remember and with GTK4, there's no "classic" menu anymore, but a thing with some buttons and a hamburger menu on the right side. I stopped to use #meld and many other gtk based softwares because without classic menu I'm just lost.
So did Geany have (or will have) the same problem? Because I don't want to switch on a GTK software if in few months I'll have to search a new one again :ablobcatcoffee:

@smxi I didn't used #xfce for years now, may be I can take a look on it but it will probably switch to #wayland one day too :ablobcatwave:
From #kde I'm only using #kate, #konsole and #krusader
#kate and #konsole I can easily find an alternative I think
For #krusader all other file manager I've tried didn't provided me any satisfaction except #midnightcommander that I use most of time (more often than krusader in fact...)Or I can choose X11 from SDDM login but it's probably just a matter of time before being stuck and forced to use wayland...
Years ago I was greedy to test and experiment distro & desktop environments, switching from one to another one was not a problem.
The thing is now, I just want to use my computer, I don't have the time anymore for that, neither the patience :ablobcatknitsweats: -

New #inxi 3.3.37 goes out the door. Includes last minute workaround for 32 bit intel gen2 gpu eglinfo hang #mrmazda found. Probably a regression in i915 driver. And the big monitor scaling feature.
Full changelog here:
https://codeberg.org/smxi/inxi/src/branch/master/inxi.changelogThis is the longest between releases in quite a while so nice to get some nifty enhancements and fixes in.
This also introduces the improved option syntax for -b -e, which gets rid of a peeve of -F being impossible to explain.

@arstechnica it's funny to see this story get published so routinely as news.
Fun fact: developer of screenfetch used to hang out in #smxi #IRC and grab code for screen fetch from bash #inxi. No reason for 2 people to waste their time figuring out desktop ID I thought. Neofetch was new screenfetch but repeated core error: complex logic in bash. Many errors due to this. But clever. Demise predictable. Fastfetch massive codebase. Too hard to keep up with os/hw changes in C so future predictable.

https://codeberg.org/smxi/pinxi/src/branch/master/pinxi.changelog
The changelog for #pinxi aka next #inxi is getting massive. Already 3-4x longer than average.But still finding and fixing old and new issues almost daily. The refactors and debugger improvements are being done anywhere I find pain points almost automatically now since one core goal for 3.3.32 is to upgrade code and features I've never had time for in past.
Last known challenge is better handling of complex window manager scenarios for -S Desktop line.

@drcalambre or was it #smxi that is useful. That's almost in maintenance mode now but me and another guy keep the #nvidia drivers and kernel version support tests reasonably current. #sgfxi however isn't fully functional anymore. But I can't test because I stopped using non free nvidia cards. Switched to #AMD and free kernel drivers (radeon/amdgpu). I got tired of dumping perfectly fine nvidia gfx cards as drivers hit EOL. And nouveau didn't work for me so gave up.

@smxi I recently added GPU temperature sensors to conky. Very grateful for this great utility that smxi is of great help to us to configure our graphics cards. Thank you! 🤗

Starting slowmotion shutdown of #github #smxi repos, first step made last commit to active development branch inxi-perl, where #pinxi lives. The old file will remain for a while, so you can update using -U and get that, then you have to update -U again to be current. I'd been commiting to gh to keep pinxi current, no more.
Unraveling a code repo is a pain, but as now #googlecode and gh have taught, relying on proprietary code repos is just a bad idea, thanks @Codeberg for making this possible.

Migration of #smxi repos from #github to #codeberg.org are now completed. The #inxi migration was hard for their migration tool because the git data is very large and complicated, but after numerous tries, it finally got migrated.
I've now updated all the urls used, the self updaters, so that both github and codeberg versions will give users files that have the right data.
I'll probably stop mirroring at end of 2023, the github tokens last 90 days, which should be enough.

Migration of all the #smxi projects from #github to #codeberg is almost completed, #inxi is last, running the migration now. This is a tedious process, I opted to mirror via token for up to 90 days, then I'll just start removing the code from github where it makes sense, but I can't remove it all because of the updater tools that will in most cases be pointing at github, so they need to get at least the correct path version once, so will leave up the main code for a while.

@smxi @ChristosArgyrop Of course, there’s a #PerlCritic policy to slap you on the wrist if you’re tempted to do such a rude thing as automatically export into a caller’s namespace: https://metacpan.org/pod/Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitAutomaticExportation

@RL_Dane @mjgardner @benjaminhollon
I like #Perl #Devel::NYTProf for big picture view, I've found many big bottlenecks with that. Fewer now though. Most low hanging fruit handled. "use Benchmark qw(:all);" is very nice too, I used that a lot to decide which general methods to use, since many loops may run thousands ot times, small differences build up. I also test on a 1998 laptop running #Debian #Lenny, though cpu has no cache.
These were my early tests pre-trans:

@Di4na @smxi Good points, and true for most companies.
But then you also have companies who desperately want to pay someone but don't know who and how. Maybe not enough of them.
#tidelift obviously is trying to cater to those companies, and it's not unsuccessful, but also not the smashing success that I'd want it to be.
And what I'm talking not is not exactly Tidelift, which takes more of a facilitator approach rather than a vendor approach.
Maybe not everything can be covered by Tidelift-but-vendor, but I'd like to think there is a missed opportunity with some core projects for which this would work better than Tidelift or foundations financing grants.

So, anyone who wants a Debian supplier can just jump on this and that's exactly what they get.
"Any contribution gives you the right to submit a list of packages that you rely on, and that should be prioritized in terms of security support."
"If your funding level is at least Bronze 1, Freexian will subscribe the person listed as technical contact to a private mailing list that all contributing companies can use to discuss their needs and share their experience."
"If your funding level is at least Silver 1, you can submit your queries and requests about Debian LTS in general and/or any security update in particular to us."
"If your funding level is Platinum, you can submit to us functional tests covering the set of packages that you care about, and we will run those tests on updated packages to detect undesired regressions"
