    To be honest, I switched to Wayland years ago precisely because of the better perceived input/cursor experience.

    Change my mind, but having an average of half a frame input latency is much preferred when in return I gain that the cursor position on the screen actually aligns with all the other content displayed.

    Plus, I’m very sensitive to tearing, so whenever it happens I get the impression that there was a huge rendering error.

    Well and on the note that the cursor might visibly stutter, sure. But it’s a bit misleading. A game pinning the GPU to 100 % and running on 5 FPS doesn’t mean that your cursor will be rendered with 5 FPS. So far I’ve only noticed cursor lag/stutters in OOM situations, but neither under heavy GPU or CPU load.












  • I’m also on p2p 2x3090 with 48GB of VRAM. Honestly it’s a nice experience, but still somewhat limiting…

    I’m currently running deepseek-r1-distill-llama-70b-awq with the aphrodite engine. Though the same applies for llama-3.3-70b. It works great and is way faster than ollama for example. But my max context is around 22k tokens. More VRAM would allow me more context, even more VRAM would allow for speculative decoding, cuda graphs, …

    Maybe I’ll drop down to a 35b model to get more context and a bit of speed. But I don’t really want to justify the possible decrease in answer quality.


  • I’m running such a setup!

    This is my nixos config, though feel free to ignore it, since it’s optmized for me and not others.

    How did I achieve your described setup?

    • nixos + flakes & colmena: Sync system config & updates
    • impermanence through btrfs snapshots: destroy all non-declarative state between reboots to avoid drift between systems
    • syncthing: synchronise ALL user files between systems (at least my server is always online to reduce sync inconsistencies from only having a single device active at the time)
    • rustic: hourly backups from all devices to the same repos, since this is deduplicated and my systems are mostly synchronised, I have a very clear record of my file histories







  • You can already do so incredibly much by hooking up a few extra LSPs and keybinds (calling external scripts/programs)!

    What I’m personally still missing though:

    • Code Folding
    • More refined subprocess handling, i.e. term-buffer switching or floating term (when excuting gitui via keybind for example)
    • Emacs Org-Mode like context aware styling, for i.e. Bold or Italic text hints from LSP
      • Font changes (restricted through terminal)
      • Different Font/Line sizes for i.e. headings (restricted through terminal)
      • Inline images (sixel!)
    • Dedicated optional client, a-la Neovide with cursor animations (helps orientation with jumps etc.), and to alleviate the previous terminal restrictions
