  • I got into a discussion on Lemmy a while back about cadmium and lead in chocolate and someone linked a study stating that some of the lead contamination can come from leaded gasoline fumes during transportation. May be a contributing factor in this case as well.

  • Kind of... The problem with full DEs like GNOME and KDE is that they pull in a lot of dependencies and make a lot of changes. So it can break visuals or change icons in each others environments or install apps with duplicate functions. Something like i3 has a lot less clutter because it expects the user to build their own environment.

    The best way to try out KDE would be to install it under a new user on your system so it doesn't conflict with your original home directory. Or you could boot up a live image of Kubuntu or some other KDE flavored Linux distro and mess around with it a bit to see if you want to commit to it.

    While you can install KDE on mint without issues (apt install kde-plasma-desktop) I would recommend installing a KDE focused distro because sometimes they have better default configs.

    But Plasma should be able to do win + arrow keys out of the box and current versions of Plasma should have basic tiling functions by dragging a window around and holding shift. If there's anything you don't like it's a very configurable platform.

  • This is an aside, but I also want to give Proton points for their calendar app. I used to use Gsuite and Google calendar and no matter what I did it always opened in agenda mode. The Proton calendar has all the features of Google calendar (as far as I can tell) but their app has an option for default display mode. That brought me incredible joy.

  • Yeah this isn't really much of an issue with EFI now. You can change boot order in the BIOS and things are way less likely to get overwritten or broken. You can even have 2 EFI partitions if it's something your concerned about.

  • I'm no expert but have you taken the board out and checked it out? Might be some corrosion or bridging going on that's interfering with the connection. Might be worth trying to clean it up with some isopropyl alcohol if you're planning on swapping it out anyway.
