It is not your mistake. It just could be a very specific issue, misconfiguration perhaps. Even the default installer may mess up. On my machine the Wi-Fi did not work because the distro installer set up wrong driver. To be fair it probably works on most newer machines but mine works with the one that is already in the kernel (which it of course disabled). Also no audio, because driver is still in development and last time I tried it didn’t work. No hybernation because some random wake up bugs. And many tiny incoveniences, but my machine is a jackpot in that regard. Also by default Arch did not detect some USB devices plugged in after startup. Some time later I learned it was the default USB config and changed it.

My point was that just because it is the default done by the installer it may not be the default that works for all machines.

Sounds like you speedrunned distro hopping and used anything but the stuff people actually end up using. I recommend not to look at distros but the base OS. Distro is just a bunch of things on a base. Also I’ve never used Gnome, but friends who have used it eventually switched to literally anything else.

Also, never expect things to be 100% plug and play and then complain about them with no research. There is always a limit with every software. And there are always resources and guides.

I currently can’t get it working at all and had to disable it, because my machine won’t come back up. So i changed my workflow to take that into account. If I need it closed for a few minutes to move I leave it running and if the time window is greater I turn it off completely. There is always a way, my case is just very specific and I don’t necessarily need it. Anyway, good luck getting it to work the way you like.

Replace screwdrivers with hammers and you get a description of Jeremy Clarkson.

Just one note. Unfortunate names do exist. If a band has name that is also commonly used to refer to other things, it is really tricky to find them unless they are popular enough. I remember trying to find some music from a band called “6 cylinder”. You can imagine the struggle.

To be completely honest, I don’t consider any name to be bad.

You may say AxCx is terrible name, but once you give them a listen it exactly fits the name. Same goes for Hijokaidan, who are actually named based on one of fan’s suggestion claiming that “escape staircase” suits their sound more. Party Cannon is absolutely hillarious imo, when you look at the logo and the sound. Brojob also has a name that fits their lyrical themes.

In some cases the name may come out a bit lame, but bad names? Nah. I don’t consider any name bad, most of them sound either fucking epic and/or hillarious when you look at the full picture.

Come on, let musicians have some fun.

Just to put it out here. Termux has proot-distro that allows you to run qite a few distros as containers. Technically not a VM afaik. I find it useful, because it is sometimes simpler to wipe that instead of reinstalling Termux.

pacman + yay + appman (in cases where appimage is more convenient)

If you need something from AUR, Chaotic AUR builds some of them.

Technically I also use managers for certain languages and environments, so sometimes cargo, pip, luarocks, … whatever.

I did try to use flatpak in the past, but I just found it annoying. If you do not explicitly need it’s capabilities for a certain app it is mostly makes accessing app’s config and data a major annoyance imo.

Yeah, the grey looks great. Just the right ammount, imo.

Try it out with Daggerfall Unity. I heard a lot good about it. There is a way to have Steam still track your playtime with custom launch command.

In my case Tectonic (XeLaTeX with a few quirks, but error messages are actually readable) and Typst are both goto options when I want to write a document.

LaTeX is older and has currently more features. I would generally recommend it for writing serious articles and documents that need hyperref highlights for instance.

Typst still has a lot to catch up when you compare it to LaTeX, but I really like the overall document structure (except the table syntax, but I’ve seen worse) and design choices. In my opiniton, Typst has frendlier tools that just work (Neovim integration is amazing once you figure out the LSP and Tinymist).

Syntactically Typst allows faster typing, so you may use it to write notes directly during lectures.

Math parsing is a bit different, but also tends to be easier to write.

I also like that Typst works with different “elements” than LaTeX. It kinda fells more like HTML and CSS merged into one in terms of control and workflow.

Try brightnessctl. If it does not recognize it, go with some tape I guess.

I mean, trying to implement stuff yourself is great for learning. Only once you are confident enough it is worth contributing.

I am still interested and even found some new things. I completely agree with reading the source code to be the best way to learn.

Here are some other resources I’d consider worth mentioning over here also for anyone reading this in the future:

• a book by Adam Tornhill on C patterns leanpub
• Github repo with pattern implementation Github
• Tsoding Daily Youtube
• Magicalbat Youtube
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4112796/are-there-any-design-patterns-in-c
• Eskill Steenberg Youtube

edit: fixed the links

I do like it, but I have sadly fallen down the tiling wm rabbit hole. It’s too late now.

It has been mostly i3 for me. Not for everyone, but I like the control.

As someone already pointed out, try to increase font size first.

I personally use a Vector layer and put text there (not sure if it even works in paint layer). For making it bigger you can then just grab the corner with Select Shapes Tool and resize it. If it doesn’t work, enable Scale Styles in the Tool Options docker.

I agree that LibreTorrent may be buggy at times but is by far the best tool for torrents on the platform. Also Aria is great, but not as a torrent client, but as a download manager it easily beats most other tools that I’ve used as a replacement of the default mechanism (especially the speed is incomparable, when you can increase number of connections).

I recently tried Yabridge. It still needs a lot of work, but many plugins seem to work well there (if we ignore often broken UI and temporary fixes that aren’t for everyone). Still pretty much WIP, but probably the best way to run plugins.

I am used to using middle mouse button to move canvas in both Krita and Inkscape. I know that it would be a silly default to just use it for movement, but countless missclicks in LibreOffice are reason good enough to be at least ocassionally frustrated over the default.

I have no idea what they’re up to, but I hope they don’t ruin one of the few good free photo editing apps on the PlayStore. I do use Image Toolbox for most of the stuff nowadays, since it’s foss, but the performance on my lower end device just wasn’t great. Good time to try it on there again I guess.
