I know there isn't an objectively correct answer to this question, and I'm not asking for the "party line" - I just want to hear everyone's opinions (and the inevitable arguments had in good fun, of course).
Not to soud rude, but how is your "best DE" thread different from thousands of other "best DE" threads where everyone already gave their opinion? There's plenty of "opinions" on "best DE" online.

I technically have 2 GPUs in my laptop, one integrated into intel CPU and one discrete nvidia (so called "optimus"). Is it possible to pass nvidia while keeping intel for linux DE?
I tried to read some tutorials but tbh they all leave more questions than give answers.
The secondary-selection is used when the cursor is in some focussed Recipient window, in order to grab some text (or whatever) from some Donor window (possibly the same window as the Recipient) and have that text pasted at the Recipient's insertion-point (overwriting any primary-selection in the Recipient).
Maybe using ctrl for that is not the best decision, but I understand this was just a showcase. I wish this actually existed and was used in real desktop environments.

I guess we as a society will never get rid of pedophiles as long as we are so afraid of being stigmatized that we can't even call pedophile a "pedophile".
What's the point of clipping stuff? I keep only personal stuff in my vault (for example, things that happened to me, whatever I know about people that are close to me, places I like, events I want to remember). Because if it's something you found on the internet… it means when you need it again, you can go and find it on the internet again?
Unless you have a constant paranoia that things you liked will disappear from the internet one day, in this case I would download and archive stuff, which I don't consider "clipping" anyway and don't store in my vault. I treat Obsidian vault as my diary, it's for personal things, not to shove thousands of publicly available things into it.
Sorry I don't mean to be rude, I'm genuinely curious about what are you trying to achieve and what problems you are trying to solve and why does it need to involve obsidian?
I'm not the OP, but tbh the only thing that doesn't work for me is the apps that replace your input by the same thing in another layout.
For example, you have 2 keyboard layouts, type something and realize afterwards that you forgot to change the keyboard layout. You press the hotkey to trigger a script that removes your input, translates it into a different keyboard layout and pastes it back.
People who only use 1 keyboard layout don't even think about this issue and usually don't know such software exists.
I miss it a lot. There's 1 script that works in wayland but it's pretty buggy and it's not in arch repos, so I don't trust it too much. X11 had many options.
I get what you are saying and understand the balance between convenience and security, however most end users don't care. Their thing stops working and they complain "Wayland bad, my workflow now broken!", nothing you can do.
The best one I've ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn't be compatible.
Anyone keep diaries in Obsidian? How do you format the filenames/directories and the notes themselves? My current formatting for the filenames is "/Daily Notes/DD-MMMM-YYYY".

I'm probably blind or something, but I don't see a list of supported platforms anywhere on the website and in readme on github, also no "downlaods" page or section. It says it's cross platform, but does it actually have a desktop version (windows/linux) or is it just a browser SPA, and does it have a dedicated android app?
Sorry don't mean to be rude, I really wish it has a linux native app and an android app, hopefully in f-droid, if yes then it's perfect, but for now it's not clear to me.
I did run docker, specifically the portainer interface, not just the docker itself. While it's nice and easy to use, I felt like docker obscures things behind some abstractions, for example my native services store data simply as directories and files somewhere under /srv, while docker containers keep data somewhere in docker's directory as some storage objects with randomly generated names.
I also completely lost control of my firewall, for example if I can just run iptables and see exactly which ports do what, I can easily read and understand line by line each firewall rule, when I use docker containers it's all some gibberish to me, ports get opened and closed and mapped to container ports (I guess) without me ever touching iptables, and I have no idea what is happening with my server anymore.
So yes, I tried portainer and dropped it, if you do native packages and an android app in f-droid, let me know, I really like your project so far. I can even stand the docker thingy, but we need an android app with proper sync and caching, because not everyone has internet connection 24/7. We may want to run an app, sync with backend, then add entries during a flight. Browser won't solve this.
What exactly do you mean by "sustainable", paid/premium features? Ads? Subscription plans for users that ask you to host the server instead of self-hosting themselves?
Yes I understand FOSS is a lot of time and effort, thank you :-)
For static expansions (no placeholders that change) I just use Compose key sequences, it's free and it works out of the box on pretty much any linux variant.
I used to use feeder but stopped reading news for a while. With feeder, I have to know each feed and add it myself. This is good but I don't see new or other stuff. I think I'd like to have both, everything and only my stuff. Or something where I can opt out instead of opt in. ...
I'm not sure RSS readers are supposed to solve your issue. They are readers — they allow you to read stuff you subscribed to.
Discovering stuff you want to subscribe to is an entirely different task. Idk, try searching blogs or sites that interest you or ask others what they follow.
If my RSS app would "suggest" me articles not from my feed I would uninstall it immediately.
Inoreader might have something like that, probably that's why I stopped using it.

In Firefox 144, I can open vertical tabs and use Sidebery, but Firefox sidebar remains open on the side. I can remove it by setting always-show and hide-sidebar in config, but it reappears every time I restart. ...
Yes, tabs in Sidebery are "tree style", you can build them into trees and collapse/expand them, also unload, group, bookmark whole branches and trees.
Vertical tabs are, well, just tabs stacked vertically. They are not nested, do not provide context, can't be collapsed/expanded (or folded/unfolded, whatever you prefer). Sidebery just has many more features than just "woohoo you can see tabs vertically instead of horizontally" Firefox now provides.
what’s the difference between me just bookmarking the sites that I want and then just going there?
I have 98 feeds. Is it easier to open an aggregator that checks 98 sites for me and lets me see what's new, than to open 98 bookmarks and look for what's new myself?
