Privacy friendly Calender that I can use Offline and integrated with waybar

I already have Proton and Tuta account and I currently use Proton Calender. But, it's quite frustrating that I cannot even add things offline on my Android app.

I was looking to integrate my Calender into my Window Manager environment using waybar and I realized it's not possible with Proton Calender or with Tuta.

ProtonBridge still doesn't support Proton Calender, so I am looking for alternatives. Preferably, end-to-end encrypted but I am willing to compromise on that as long as it's FOSS.

Wayland Minimal Image viewer with crop and rotate

I am on Debian 13 with Niri window manager + noctalia-shell and I am looking for a minimal Wayland native image viewer with good performance and simple features like crop and rotate.

Currently using gwenview and would like something minimal, preferably with keybindings for rotate and crop.

Moved from alacritty to kitty but I miss alacritty's fast startup

Have been using alacritty and I loved it's fast startup (keyboard to window latency was super low). I now have moved to kitty for it's image rendering capabilities and the latency is quite noticeable.

Any way I can speed it up? I already tried using this guide but it's still quite slow (400 ms is my guess).

EDIT: System Specs:
Ryzen 5600X
AMD Radeon 7900XT
16gb of DDR4 memory
Debian 13 with Niri + Noctalia-shell

UPDATE: tried both Foot and ghostty, settled on ghostty since it worked out of the box with yazi without config and launches with similar latency as alacritty. It has both image rendering (like foot) and ligatures (unlike foot).

UPDATE 2: Thank you for all your input. I have settled on using ghostty on my desktop (which is as quick as alacritty) and foot on my 9 year old laptop.

Build/weapon suggestions ERConvergence

I am currently playing Convergence with co-op with several of my friends and its a lot of fun. I am playing as the Joker with Flame of Frenzy and i just got the Blade of Distant light, its a fun weapon but it's hard to use it unless the enemy is not focusing you. It was fun for 10-15 levels after I got it but now it's not.

I am looking for Convergence specific weapon suggestions that are more useful with a learning curve (doesn't have to be flashy). For example, i really liked the Bloodhounds Fang in the base game​.

What build/weapon or spells should I try?

I am currently using Fedora Sway edition for gaming via Steam it seems to be okay, although there are some issues (like Steam's in-built browser being a bit slow to respond, swayidle locking screen when using a gamepad) I have found tweaks to still continue to use it.

I was wondering how the gaming experience is in Cosmic Desktop compared to Sway. I know it won't be as polished as KDE or GNOME but is it atleast as polished as gaming on Sway?

I just installed Fedora 43 Sway edition on my Gaming Desktop (from KDE on Endeavor) and I have configured it and I am liking it. However, when I play games with a controller (Nightreign), after every 15 minutes or so due to swayidle, my screen locks. I have to unlock it to resume playing. This sucks in a game like Nightreign.

What is the proper way to fix this? I know I could disable swayidle altogether, but I guess there is more elegant solution for this.

UPDATE: Disabled swayidle and installed and enabled hypridle instead from the solopasha/hyprland copr repo. Now screen doesn't lock for games anymore.
