brent Yes, adding another 4G/8G would be nice. I don't know if my intel nuc can handle 16G... Will make some inquiries... 😄

    Brave. I also like Vivaldi, but it's not fully open source. Firefox is a no go due to their open support of censorship.

    Solus Plasma, fresh restart after updates, only uses 700mb of ram. Only things that are currently running is Steam 350mb and Brave with 3 tabs, (27 Brave related processes) ~ 750mb of ram usage. 1,7gb used out of 32gb.

      Does anyone know if Brave or Vivaldi has an option to enable "full-screen" mode within its application window vs the entire desktop? Here's a screenshot of what I mean in Firefox. Basically, it can let you full-screen a video within the boundaries of the Firefox window so you can have a mini "full-screen" video that can be re-sized and moved around.

        h3o can't answer your question but it thrills me that such a thing exists as a summer chess invitational.

          zmaint 7 GB? That is a lot. I only count 1800Mb total. Something else running? 😀

              h3o if its an invitational I imagine there was regional qualifying etc and a pretty exclusive club of heavy hitters by this stage. rock stars of chess. Sad to see it's zoom-like/remote instead of an auditorium full of intense matches but sign of the times. I love playing but not real good at it. Even gnome-chess stomps on me.🙂

                  brent I don't want to get this thread too off topic but will just say that invitational was more in fun. The two people in the screenshot are chess streamers (one is a GM, the other an IM) and the purpose of the event was just to have their subscribers face-off against each other to see who has the better team/followers lol I only got into chess a few months ago so not that great myself, but still enjoy playing : )

                    I had some time to check out Brave and Vivaldi today and thought they were both nice browsers. Actually was quite enjoying them, but for some reason I can't get hardware acceleration to perform properly on chromium based browsers. When watching the same video on Brave or Vivaldi compared to Firefox my temps were running 10c to 30c higher. If I can get that sorted out, I'd prob lean toward Vivaldi... or Brave. lol

                      looks like its time for a routine cleanup of your machine's internals( and especially the cpu fans) 😁

                        That's an excellent choice. One you'll probably never regret.

                            WetGeek I so love Vivaldi but am even more conflicted about the blink rendering engine supremacy. Is it a lost battle? Surely, something has to come along to push back against blink? I try to use Firefox from time to time and must say, the containers add-on is superlative.

                              Anybody else using Opera? I dunno for me its more visually appealing and laid out than other browsers.
                              Yes I know for some reason its not possible (as far as I know) to change the windows 10ish look to it but for everything else it checks the boxes.

                                seanragout Yes! I love Opera and use it on everything. So much so that I became the package maintainer for it on Solus.
                                FYI, I haven't submitted opera-stable 80 at the moment because I can't get it to work without an additional script to install a different version of libffmoeg.so from an external source. It's buildable, but won't launch with the missing codecs.

                                    I updated to the latest release of opera locally just then. Seemed to work fine.

                                    opera 80 was released on the 5th, ffmpeg-chromium was updated in the Solus repo on the 7th. So perhaps you tested it against the old version? If you try again and have any reproducible issues regarding ffmpeg-chromium I will investigate further.

                                        Firefox with some addons for privacy and add blocking. Makes my free Spotify like premium 😄 Brave cant do that. What I am more curious about is Qutebrowser with some proper add blocking (especially YouTube) but that may remain a dream. So Firefox it is!

                                        LibreWolf... I guess you could count it as Firefox, but it's like... deGoogled Chrome but deMozilla'd Firefox.
