Finally. I refuse to use overwolf.
Ignoring the original post, I wanted to pick up on what you said right at the end.
Something I’ve never understood is, what impact is using iced
going to have on app compatiblity? Are we going to need compatibility layers for GTK and QT, like with Cinnamon displaying QT apps, with the associated jankiness?
Check for a ~/.config/chromium
folder and delete it. dnf
doesn’t seem to have an equivalent to apt purge chromium
which would be the other thing to do (while the package is installed).
I’m getting that with Gmail and 2 google sheets open (just as an example workload), my system says Zen uses 899 MB of memory, while Firefox uses 1261 MB. However, the way they split tasks into different processes (or at least the way my system monitor groups them) seems to be different, so I’m not sure how much of that difference is real.
Looking at the browsers task manager, they report about the same amount of memory by the browser itself, and for tab handling FF seems to grab more memory when opened, then decrease over time, whereas Zen seems to have a more consistent memory consumption. Sheets tabs use equivalent memory in both, and Gmail uses about 20% more memory in Zen. Both use an insignificant amount of CPU, of course.
Zen does feel more responsive, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Good to know the customizations aren’t causing catastrophic resource usage though.
Edit: My only other thing I find wierd is that its kinda hard to close tabs. You have to use the right-click menu – even using the ‘c’ keyboard shortcut only selects it, and hitting it again moves to another option!
Hmmm this feels like Vivaldi built on Firefox. I like the tiling for tabs! Overall pretty good, would like to see the tab tiling separators smaller, but that’s a small gripe. Looking forward to see where this goes!
I just use Zettlr (a markdown editor optimized for writing research papers). I wish it wasn’t an electron app, as it’s paggy as hell sometimes on Linux, but it’s the best balance I’ve found between features, ease of use, and stability.
I’ve used Xournal++ and Write, both worked pretty well. Saber also looks promising.
It’s going to come down to how the program handles smoothing of the pen input, which is going to differ based on how noisy your tablets data is, and on your handwriting.
