no matter ho much you try to hide it, it will always be there, lurking in the corner, waiting for your to forget about it to make itself noticed, give up, embrace it, buy a purple hoodie, get your nails done and paint your house purple, for your own sanity

yep, iirc it started in windows 8 where they would suggest third party apps directly in your app menu back in 2013

wsl technically make windows a distribution of linux, therefore, windows is unixrelated, so your post is relevant.

your rice is pretty mid though get some blur in there and either make everything translucent or nothing translucent, also, black and grey don't mix, and those colored icons in the middle really swear with the outlined one on the right and how many different fonts is that, 4 ? still upvoted because the heart is there.

at some point in my computer life, I realised that with most new window I oppened, I was dragging them to the side to tile them next to the other in order to not lost track of either the content of the other window like a webpage or a running script or to more easily drag stuff between them without having to move the first window, now behind the new one, it wasn't that annoying or time consuming since I'm pretty fast with a mouse, but it did require me to focus on the positioning of the window to get going, tiling completely removed that aspect, no I only interract with the window to resize them or change screen, which is far less often that I use to move them around to un-obstruct them

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

from the dev:

Performance was 10% worse, and frametimings were less even, but it was certainly playable. This was just how Unity 3D works in Vulkan on Linux, so there was no way to solve it.

Certain parts of this game have geometry that is close together, and on Linux these would flicker. This is because Unity 3D does not support a reversed z-buffer on OpenGL or Vulkan (or DirectX9). This problem is not present in DirectX11+, or Metal. And it’s not present when Proton or WINE convert DX11 commands to Vulkan.

Other than that, everything was the same on Linux as it is on Windows or OSX. We’ve had a native Linux build of this game for its entire life up until recently, just as all of Arcen’s titles have had a native Linux build for the last decade.

So this all feels very strange. But Unity 3D’s support for Linux, and in particular their implementation of Vulkan, is notably inferior to what is going on with their support for DirectX11 and Proton/WINE’s ability to bridge across.

the main advantage of snapshots is how fast it happen, in two reboots with little to no wait time you can get your system back

f12 iirc, and it's normal mode

in the bios config menu, you can access it when you start up your computer and spam the appropriate keyboard key, you can find out which key it is by the brand of the computer, or the brand of the motherboard if you assembled the pc yourself, then inside the bios config menu you will find the secure boot option.

for example, on my computer, I need to turn it off completely, then press the power button and quickly press the f2 key repeatidely, then instead of launching my operating system, it launches the bios config menu, and in that menu, under the "boot" section, I find a line called "secure boot" which I can enable and disable, once i've done so, I press f10 to save the configs I made, and boot my system where I want

it shouldn't reset your device, secure boot is only there to prevent someone from doing exactly what you're trying to do, booting another os on the computer, that said, if you're going to mess around with a linux installer without full knowledge of what you are doing you should absolutely back up your entire drive first, the easiest method being phisically removing the hard drive and putting another one in

I always wondered why none of them could agree on which f key does what, especially when they all already agree that ctrl-alt-del restart the computer

alright that's good, that means it's seeing the key as bootable, you need to enter the bios config, same procedure, but it's another f key, then you will find an option that's called secure boot and you can change it from "enabled" to "disabled", on some bios, you first need to erased the stored secure boot key first

turn off your computer, plug in the key, press the power button to turn it on, then immediately and repeatedly press your boot menu key, it's probably of the f keys above the numbers on your keyboard, if you have an hp laptop it's going to be f9 otherwise it's often f12 but that can be any other one, try googling it, then you will have a menu appear which lets your select "usb something whatev" select it and press enter, if that doesn work, you'll have to learn all about configuring your bios to run linux

yo, if you figured out how to make the kvantum background blur follow your rounded corners I'd gladly get in on the trick

Nobody watched the video and the down arrow is there for when you disagree, simple as.

iirc that would be handled by your theme rather than a system config

it's a reddit imported hate-train because they didn't renew certificates twice in twenty years and a bug in pamac cause the aur to be ddosed for a few hours total, to tell you how much of an empty bandwagon it is, few years back, manjaro tried to push a closed source office suite in their base installers and none of the clowns parroting anti-manjaro mantras ever mention it, they didn't think about adding it to the agreed list of accusations in the early days so their copy pasted opinions don't feature it.

if you are willing for forget the minimal aspects, I would recommand garuda linux, it has an horrendous default theme and pretend to be for gamers, but in reality it is a solid arch install with good gui tools for updates and system maintenance, and it also has things pre-configured that would take a while for you to do, like the magical btrfs snapshots, which means if you or an update break something, you can make your system go back in time without losing any personal data all from the grub menu

I tend to see cinnamon as a simpler kde, it feels a lot like the defaults of kde, if you enjoy having thousands of ui options from ordering the icons in your program toolbars to selecting conditional window sizes and placement on opening then kde will meet your needs otherwise it's a little overkill for standard computing

it's called reading around, it's like watching tiktoks but with text, though it requires some form of context guessing which will be a challenge since the conversations you can read online are not always directed at you
