On iOS atleast, Live Activities are separate from Notifications. So I can still monitor food or grocery delivery even though I have turned off their notifications.

Now a few apps have started sending notifications through WhatsApp because they have my phone number. e.g. Amazon

You know `/etc/passwd` doesn't really have passwords in it.

Maybe you didn't read the draft. It's either a delayed April's Fool joke or AI slop. Even if you take it seriously, it will require updating every v4 device in existence.

Motorola Mobility vs Motorola Solutions. Different companies. Different owners. Different nationalities.

The elected president of Iran is more like a Chief of Staff to the actual leader.

Gboard for iOS has been discontinued though. On top of that, 3rd party keyboards are a bit limited on iOS (which might be a good thing for some people).

The previous iteration was actually running on top of webview2.

Bangladesh has one of the most fertile lands on earth producing rice (which can feed 5x people wheat does), no desert and a little bit of mountains (hills actually). Gangetic Plains are also in Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. These places are not comparable to anywhere in the world sans East China.

I have been using niri for almost an year now. First with waybar, now with Quickshell (which DankMaterialShell is baed upon).

There are many other implementations of this paradigm if niri doesn't feel/work right to you.

- PaperWM (for Gnome; the original)

- mangowc (dwm rewrite but has a scrolling mode)

- scroll (fork of sway)

- papersway (based on sway)

- hyperscrolling (hyprland plugin)

- karousel (for KDE)

- PaperWM.spoon (for macOS)

- komorebi (for Windows)

That's still using Cachy's kernel. Cachy uses a different scheduler and compiles for x86_64_v3 instruction set. It won't get you a world-shattering boost but ~5% is what comes up in benchmarks.

It's the Arch way. A beginner shouldn't be using Arch, Gentoo, NixOS or FreeBSD etc.

That's why there are myriad of distros.

niri is based on smithay which is also used by COSMIC.

You are conflating Window Manager with Task Switcher programs.
