NTFS is the standard for Windows. Nowadays Linux can handle reading/writing NTFS pretty well, but you should probably use the very established ext4 or maybe btrfs for its partition.

Actually, hexagons are the bestagons

I like 90% about KDE, GNOME and XFCE.

Depending in my changing needs and preferences I switch between them.

If I ever find the perfect DE (or maybe WM), I’ll let everyone know.

Yes, let’s switch from the dumpster fire that is twitter, to the competitor that didn’t launch in the EU, because it has horrible privacy practices.

The internet in 2023

Only the KDE/latte part of my script was relevant to the topic. Xrandr is X11

I use scripts that change my display setup (xrandr), the active latte profile and my audio output.

The command to switch the latte profile

qdbus org.kde.lattedock /Latte org.kde.LatteDock.switchToLayout Monitors

You can just create a profile for every scenario once and switch between them.

How about a used Thinkpad? Like the X280. 12.5". Touch. Depending on your region you can get a pretty good deal if you are OK with some scratches or other faults

I used EndavourOS for a while until I realized I didn’t use any of the distros features after the installation.

archinstall is basically just a text menu with the same option as a GUI installer.

I ended up with a vanilla arch install with my preferred DE. Drivers installed, network configured. Ready to go.

Discovered beets a few weeks ago. Tagging, organizing, converting, … You can specify all of it in a config file and just add a new album and it handles everything for you

This is how you get ants adblockers

Does anyone have experience with non-english searches? Are the results of similar quality?

That’s one aspect I have to use a workaround. Since I mostly watch video on the TV, I seldom need to scale the screen. When I want to use the TV exclusively, I have a small script that shuts off the monitors, changes scaling, panels and audio output.

I have two monitors (2K, 144hz, DP) and a TV (4K, 60hz, HDMI) and it ran fine on Plasma. I used X11, because my 2060 was causing issues with Wayland.

When I was little people said dogs would sniff you to figure out who you are. I thought when a dog smells you they know your name, address, …

And maybe they do?

Some posts mention people giving away billions in their later life. That sounds great.

However, you need to ask yourself how much of their obscene wealth was created by screwing someone else over? Essentially nobody can get so rich without taking money out of the pockets of other people. You can’t just generate money out of thin air.

I need a source for that.

For me FF and Librewolf work on Windows. Don’t work on Arch.

Switched to Chatterino and Streamlink

I have a Windows install for some games and use WingetUI to install Software and keep my programs up to date. It’s a GUI for Winget, Scoop, Chocolatey, …

Will they actually manage to put all options in a single menu this time? Because it’s hilarious that I have to use Options and the a Control Panel in Win11

The most common argument I see is the lack of recommended content. Mastodon only shows you what you want to see and if you don’t actively follow accounts and hashtags, your feed can seem empty. That’s a massive difference to the birdsite. Quitting algorithms cold turkey is too much for some. They probably hope Bluesky is a middle ground.
