No doubt. It’s not much of a complaint, but rather an advisory. I still main duckduckgo of for no other reason than to avoid the mounting ads on Google

I hopped on board the duck duckgo train a short while ago ( 6 months ). I’ve had no real issues with it except for one thing. If some event occurs and gains popularity very quickly ( within the span of a couple days ), it doesn’t really show up at the forefront of the search results.

A decent example is when I was looking up the Willy’s Chocolate Factory event fiasco. I was specifically looking for images from the event to forward to my brother bc that entire event was hilarious. I had trouble with ducksuckgo. I fell back to Google image search for more ease of use.

I’m away from my computer right now, so Im not 100% sure, but I think you can set display profiles. You should be able to set a display profile that will auto load on login and should set your display options that you want. Maybe this can work despite the colord issues?

I’ll verify if kde display profiles are a thing and if they can help your use case tomorrow.

Sorry for late reply. I just now noticed this.

The difference would be that a browser would likely have multiple web pages fighting for resources whereas the dedicated client would not have to fight over so many resources.

The OS has a dedicated task scheduler that alots cpu time to each process. Some processes get preferential treatment, but most processes started on user space ( i.e.double click UI icon) are just “normal” priority.

When a task scheduler hits on a process, that process can start executing whatever it needs to do. The problem with running discord in a browser is that the application is splitting its attention across multiple pages ( and probably other stuff ) instead of a single page.

Basically, it’s faster to focus on painting a single canvas than it is to painting 3 at the same time.

I’m not going to discuss shared memory and separate processes or forking. You can goggle search if you want to know more about that.

I have a framework laptop and endeavour os with gnome de. I’ve had no problems with it. I mainly use it for dev work and web browsing. I enabled gnome muli-gesture (basically the same gestures on a Mac trackpad). I’ve had no problems with that either.

I’d recommend it.

I’m assuming this is a “dedicated app” (i.e. apt install discord). I was capable of streaming the video, but sound was a different beast. Audio streaming on discord was a no go. I was finally able to do it with pipewire and using discord-screenaudio
