Honestly, I am pretty surprised that Baikal requires that much :D It should literally take no more than 100 MB of memory and way less CPU, IMO - or did you mean the size of a VM?

In general, I agree with the sentiment - at the same time, I think the idea behind Nextcloud is to cover more use-cases at once and serve as some kind of a “extensible platform”… and honestly, it does that quite well

+1, Thunderbird’s Calendar is the best OSS calendar application out there.

Pipewire and Wayland are boss brothers

For some time I have been lurking around this topic and for general computer use, including typing, talon seemed like the best option

Good for you :)

I really enjoy how GNOME handles windows currently already.

Between having the ability to move and resize windows with Super + (mouse left|right), switching between windows of the same application with Super + backtick, workspaces and Super + type to search, there is very little to desire.

Unlike tiling VMs, this makes sense out of the box for 99% of the apps out there while providing a really quick way to get where you need quickly.
