I have been a Open Source purist for many years. Working with Emacs and NeoVim. But hey....productivity is a big deal. I decided not to go for VSCode, but just buy the All Products Pack at Jetbrains. No, it's not all Open Source, but the VSCode distributed by MS isn't either. So now I'm no longer a purist, but still a Open Source enthousiast.
Maybe worth checking out for you too. The Jetbrains software is truly amazing.

Little experiment with Spring Cloud Functions on Scaleway Function Containers. Project supports two docker builds. JVM JAR based and GraalVM Native based. On a very cheap container the spin up of the JVM Docker took 42!! seconds and the GraalVM only took 396 ms with half of the memory consumption. Great success.

See https://codeberg.org/pbrunier/SpringFunctionHelloWorld if you want to experiment.

SpringFunctionHelloWorld

A little Spring Boot / Spring Cloud Function Kotlin project using Maven and Docker. Build targets (JAR and GraalVM Native) are runnable localy, on Scaleway Function Containers and probably any other Docker compatible container service.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

I'm on Linux now for 30 years. At the beginning parttime. Linux + Mac mostly. Since ~2009 I managed to do all my workflows on Linux. Both personal, freelance Dev work and fun stuff.
I also have a day job and that's where I interact with Windows. I find it an horrific experience which I never would want to mimic in Linux. ;)

I understand. Cinnamon was and probably still is the vehicle to convert Windows users to Linux users. Another option is XFCE but then you have to loose the Wayland requirement. I'm no expert in those desktops. In the past I used XFCE because I could create a clean workflow, but nowadays I stick with GNOME, because it's simple the best ;)

You might want to try Cinnamon. But I think the experience will be better to use Plasma and tweak it to your needs.

Today I was at #JSpring 2026, as always organized by #NLJUG.
The talks I loved the most are the hilarious talk of @Felienne with a more serious note on modern computer science, the insightful talk of @elenavanengelen on clean and portable serverless architecture and a small but wonderful project by Guus de Wit about creating the well known snake game in 10 lines of code. And let's not forget @maritvandijk with her wonderful IntelliJ demo uncovering all kinds of hidden gems. Great success.
