Yeah I feel the same way. I just can't get any matrix client to give me the same experience I get with discord. I know they're two different programs, and that if I started with matrix, discord would be weird, but still. It's annoying

Huh. TIL.

Oh true, I didn't think of that. Edge cases, I mean. I'm just always so nervous about these autonomous things that I just kinda marked it down as generally a bad thing, but now that I'm reading what others have commented, it does seem like there are more pros that I haven't seen or thought about. So thanks for that.

(Also I noticed that you tried to ping me by mentioning me but I didn't get a ping, is that a kbin thing?)

Oh. Well I have to wait at this point cause my dad is my recovery email so he'll get notified when I sign in. I already got him spammed with emails when I switched to librewolf and had to sign in again on like 3-4 devices so I could've tried to do it in the midst of that but I didn't. I'll wait until we get new phones and then I'll sign in then. I'll see. Maybe I'll do it today, I thought I had done it before so idk why I have to re-sign in to microg

I used it years ago with an alt. Downloaded it again the other day and it's like a time capsule lol. I don't want to get my main account banned so I haven't signed in with it, but since all my subscriptions are on my main, I'm alternating between newpipe, stock app, and revanced when I want to chromecast smth (which I haven't done in a while)

Oh ok, that's interesting that there would be a performance impact! But that's cool that it does work. I'm honestly more worried now about getting Nvidia to work since that's what my pc has since I'm using sway, but I guess I'll worry about that when the time comes. Thanks!

Oh nice, that's always irritated me so much. I'm gonna work on disabling that then, thanks!

Pacman?

Does disabling fast boot make it so when you tell the computer to shutdown it actually shuts down? I found out that shutdown doesn't really shutdown after checking Task Manager and seeing the uptime

I'm gonna have to try this when I switch then, thanks!

Oh ok, cool!

I'm not the OP, but drat, I didn't know that bit about the NTFS drive not working nice... that was gonna be my plan for my games so I wouldn't have to re-download hundreds of gigabytes of games (Battlefield 1, Borderlands, TF2, Genshin, etc...)

Thanks.

It's ok, you don't have to do that for me lol. He did do a bit of Linux in the past, made a bunch of websites, coded and stuff like that. He just doesn't want me to get distracted I guess. Plus I've got Linux on one laptop already so I can deal. (And i just figured out how to get Arch in Crostini for my formerly un-Linux-able Chromebook so I'm gonna spend some time setting that up) His heart is in the right place i think. I mean I won't object to you finding sources if you really want to, it's just also some family stuff happened recently today which makes it not a good time to talk to him about it, especially since i talked to him about it recently in regards to swapping out my chromebook for one of the old laptops from my grandma. I apologize if this is kinda incoherent, I have to go to sleep soon so I'm rushing to type this lol

I want to but my dad said "no more Linux projects" Idk I told him I wanted to do it with a different drive so I would still have a windows install but he wants me to wait ig

I've always used Windows as my main OS, but I have experience with Macs as school computers, and now I'm exploring Linux. I gotta say Linux is probably my favorite. It's so configurable and my workflow is so smooth now that when I try and use my Windows laptop instead I find myself trying to use keybinds from my WM lol. I miss my terminal! WSL is just not the same. I have to have Windows on my school laptop, and I still have it on my PC. My hope is that I can switch my PC to Linux when Win10 loses support. Hopefully Nvidia will play nice. But I do prefer Windows over Mac simply cause I've used it longer. I've only ever used Macs on a surface level, never had my own or was able to tweak settings and such. So idk I might feel differently if I had one. But I'm definitely liking Linux a lot more cause of the customization and no update badgering lol

Alright, I guess I'll have to Google how to do that

Oh wow, it's really clean!

What should I change it to?

What launcher is that?
