I remember using Qwen 2.5 Coder for autocomplete with Continue.dev, that experience was a mess both in JetBrains IDEs, as well as Visual Studio Code. People posting stuff like this is really cool because otherwise it kinda feels like nobody

Lovely post, Xfce indeed is what I also reach for, especially when I need something for limited hardware, a small install size or just something quite stable and dependable! It’s probably not the #1 in all of those categories, but does a go
