This is like having a roof leak. You see evidence but the way water travels, you don’t know where it starts and how far it’s damaged. Then you can’t stop thinking about what else you don’t see. I hate it.

Touching yourself.

Wayland is the future, and the present. I wouldn’t shy away from it. I’ve been using it for years with multi-monitor and multi-gpu, it beats the hell out of having to dink with X11 about once a week to keep my screens in the right place.

And with X11 pretty much on life support, it’s time. And Mint isn’t the distro to do that on.

Ubuntu doesn’t push flatpaks, they push Snaps. But Ubuntu has a ton of other issues, so YMMV. It might be the one for you, who knows.

Been using Linux almost 30 years, went from Redhat to everything else, and now I’m back on Redhat to stay. Fedora KDE for a nice, boring, up to date, and bulletproof OS.

I’m using vscode/Roocode with Gosucoder shortprompt, with Requesty providing models. Generally I’ll use R1 to outline a project and Claude to implement. The shortprompt seems to reduce the context quite a bit and hence the cost. I’ve heard about Cursor but haven’t tried it yet.

When you’re using local models, which ones are you using? The ones I mention don’t seem to give me much I can use, but I’m also probably asking more of them because I see what Claude can do. It might also be a problem with how Roocode uses them, though when I just jump into a chat and ask it to spit out code, I don’t get much better.

That’s doing a lot of heavy lifting

Until we got agriculture.

Yah, I read it afterwards and realized I’d verbed a noun. I’m not proud of it.

Well, see, your mistake is brushing your teeth and living past 30. If your back molars were properly rotten enough to gracefully pop out when the wisdoms grew in, and then you died before that one rotted and you couldn’t chew anymore, you wouldn’t have any problems.

Literally.

OK, fair enough, I changed the title.

I’d rather have ass-cancer.

Me neither, I nuke the default freedesktop folders on an install because they clutter up my home folder. But I’d imagine we’re the exception.

Many of the projects are backend dev tools, like the Atlas provider linked in the thread.

Check the returns policy, but if you could buy a large external drive at something like BestBuy, do your copy then return it, that might be a lot safer than what you’re talking about. Just a thought.

That koboldcpp is pretty interesting. Looks like I can load a draft model for spec decode as well as a pile of other things.

What local models have you been using for coding? I’ve been disappointed with things like deepseek-coder and the qwen-coder, it’s not even a patch on Claude, but that damn cost for anthropic has been killing me.

Fair enough, but it’s damn handy and simple to use. And I don’t know how to do speculative decoding with ollama, which massively speeds up the models for me.

Windows Docker is so bad, I don’t even know why it’s a thing.

Some good planning might make the migration less painful. I would recommend a ZFS or other COW storage solution under the docker host so you can do snapshot backups and not have to worry about quiesing databases, etc.
