I haven't, but I'll keep this in mind for the future -- thanks.

I believe I was when I tried it before, but it's possible I may have misconfigured things

I'll give it a shot later today, thanks

edit: Tried out mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.ggufvia the LM Studio app. it runs smoother than I expected -- I get about 7-8 tokens/sec. I'll definitely be playing around with this some more later.

That's good to know. I do have 8GB VRAM, so maybe I'll look into it eventually.

I'm looking forward to the day where these tools will be more accessible, too. I've tried playing with some of these models in the past, but my setup can't handle them yet.

Yeah I wanted to use it for work until I read that. Instead I'm just using Vimwiki since I really only need markdown and linking.

I agree with you. Though, I'd also be curious to hear arguments why this shouldn't be implemented.

edit: Thank you for the replies everyone, it's helpful to hear from other peoples' perspectives.

Grouping subscriptions of instances that share the same name/topic in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Good question. In the past, there have been some federation issues. However, things have seemed fine for awhile now. I will admit that it's entirely possible that there are issues that I may not be aware of. I don't do any extensive testing as I'm just a regular user, and /kbin is a younger platform which tries to do something different from lemmy and mastodon. If the Collections feature interests you, I might suggest just making a kbin account to give it a test run. You can essentially have the same feed you do now thanks to federation, but with the added benefit of feeds more suited to your interests. Public Collections are also very useful for discovering similar communities across the fediverse.

Now that some time has passed, what do you like and dislike about kbin? (kbin.social)

I like that kbin is smaller compared to some lemmy instances. I also prefer the UI. Bigger communities tend to feel a bit overwhelming for me. I also appreciate how transparent Ernest has been regarding kbin's development. That said, it's been a bit challenging to figure out how to utilize some of the federation features that kbin has to offer--microblogging in particular. From what I've seen, people don't generally seem too interested in this feature, but I think it's nice to have.

Looking to switch distros (kbin.social)

Hi, sorry if this isn't the right place for this question. I've been using Linux Mint Cinnamon for about 9 months now and have also been experimenting with an Ubuntu GNOME Wayland session for the past month or so. I don't really like distro-hopping, but using X11 isn't cutting it for me. After giving GNOME an honest shot, I don't think it's for me. However, Wayland has been stellar. I would prefer to keep using LM Cinnamon, but I have a dual monitor setup that use different refresh rates which has been causing issues.

I'm interested in Arch, but I'm slightly concerned about the frequent comments regarding things breaking during updates. Also, is maintaining an Arch install heavy on time consumption? I'm not opposed to reading the wiki and spending time here and there to keep things working. However, I'm a bit hesitant if I were to run into an issue that may be more complicated than I may be prepared for. That said, generally I do like the higher skill ceiling options, if that makes sense in this context.

Tumbleweed seems more beginner friendly from what I've read so far. While I do generally enjoy challenges, having a smoother day-to-day experience does certainly have it's own appeal.

I would primarily be doing some gaming (this would be a mix of more recent AAA titles along with less demanding ones) and programming, along with the usual stuff you'd expect on a desktop setup. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 processor, an AMD 6650 XT GPU, and 16 gb RAM if that information helps. Thanks in advance; if this isn't the right place, I'll delete the post.

Update: I have installed EndeavourOS and things have been smooth so far. The installer was very straightforward, and setup was extremely quick. I have started reinstalling various programs which were part of my original workflow with very minimal issues. The issues primarily came from adjusting to pacman syntax. I also have a series of notes regarding what I have installed and how. Cheers, and thanks for your input, everyone. I will be sticking with Gnome for the time being.
