True shame they are doing it only for a Docker install. I for one avoid Docker like the plague.
At the risk of opening a Pandoraās box, may I ask why?
Why am I going to use a container if I donāt have to.
Well, I guess it depends on your use-case, but I can think of MANY reasons why Iād want to spin up a container. For one, when Iām done with it, removal is as easy as just deleting the container, image, volume, etc - and the base system isnāt touched at all.

In some peopleās minds lately itās been āWhy would I put it on bare metal if I donāt have to.ā 
I mean, some things I want on ābare metalā but some things I want to isolate from the rest of my system. A good example, I recently wanted to play around with whisperX to process some audio I have into a diarized speech-to-text transcript. Implementing it locally with Python libraries, etc, even in a venv was a BIG PAIN IN THE BUTT. However, there are a few container images that have everything already configured, and you basically just run it like a locally installed application, but instead, it runs completely within the container, and just saves the txt file in a mapped path thatās outside the container.

JPEG-XL image support is back in the very latest Google Chrome/Chromium codebase. Back in December they merged jxl-rs as a pure Rust-based JPEG-XL image decoder from the official libjxl organization. At the end of December they did more JPEG-XL plumbing with the enums and build flags for the support.
Now as of yesterday they wired up the JXL decoder!
A new report from browser security platform LayerX indicates that the campaign is still ongoing despite being exposed, and the following 17 extensions are part of itā¦

Although I like the approach itself, Iāve never really warmed up to tiling window managers. But this Kwin script for Plasma 6 is a really good alternative.

I can relate. Every once in a while I use Garuda with Cosmic instead of Gnome, and since a couple of weeks (perhaps since the 1.0 release) its tiling implementation seems to be more predictable (thus more convenient). So much so, that I currently prefer to use Cosmic over Gnome. Every once in a while Iām still surprised about the tiling behavior, but itās getting there.

Iām just a mouse pusher, as we call it in German. I installed the Kwin script, tried it out for a few hours, and then turned it off again. You have your habits, your workflow, and even with lots of open windows, I can cope just fine.

Have you tried the PaperWM extension? I find it great because I appreciate the concept of tiling but not the coding aspect of tiling WMs. Call it laziness, but I would much rather have the graphical settings. Maybe because I remember every single thing I change when I do it that way. When I code I remember nothing
