I rather use the r-base plot functions for everything in R. It is more flexible especially when you need to tweak the visuals.

I even noticed that Win11 is slower on more modern hardware. <_<

This looks a bit like borgbackup. It is also versioned and stores everything deduplicated, supports encryption and can be mounted using fuse.

I have used xss-lock with i3lock in the past with success. It makes sure that systemd-logind notifies over dbus when entering hibernation so that xss-lock starts the configured lockscreen.

Before that I had a script which locks manually and then calls systemctl hibernate.

Currently I am on Gnome, but I want to transition back to a more minimalistic DE like niri. Then I have to look on the options again to reliably lock my screen.

Since my question, Gentoo has changed in a favourable way. Guess what, I did not have the time to switch somewhere else. Enabling the binary repository for my existing Gentoo install was easy.

Once again I have zero complaints and I can stay on Gentoo. Updates don’t take ages anymore. (:
