Linux undoubtedly requires lots of troubleshooting and searching. Lately I’ve been spending hours (and still aren’t done with) setting up a Windows VM with good graphics support on NixOS. I’ve opened >300 tabs as counted with a browser addon, having looked up stuff like "best way to install Windows VM on linux with , “best VM software for linux”, and more specific things like how to setup WinApps, but I’ve been told that it has very poor graphics performance, since it doesn’t include anything to make it better, so now I’m torturing myself trying to get Looking Glass to work. I opened an feature request today to make better support for NixOS but it was closed stating that documentation is for deb-based distros and “a niche distro such as NixOS”, RIP.
Doctor: to avoid risk of your health deterioration, from now on you should use telnet instead of browser. We don’t want that suicidal depression hit your ass, don’t we? No tabs – happy life! One tab a day keeps depression away!
Lol. The panel is already full with 5 tabs. For anything above that, it’s worth using containers or add-ons for tab management. You may also want to create a temporary directory in your bookmarks. The main thing is to keep things tidy and, above all, to prevent background tabs from constantly reloading and updating data.
Who said things need to be tidy? 😅
I mean the background activity and memory usage is a valid concern. I believe there’s some limit to the number of background tabs which get loaded and are allowed to do things, and I’ve lowered that number. But other than that I’m fine without putting in any effort towards organizing my tabs. I’ll just open 600 of them and use Ctrl-Shift-A on Chromium or ‘%’ in the location bar of Firefox to search for the tab I need, and it takes me there instantly. I mean I get why people use the title text in the tab panel at the top and the mouse to navigate. But it’s not really necessary to do it that way.
