Yeah, dumbest thing I have seen in Lemmy up to now.

Just because anything is popular or widely used it doesn’t mean it is good or correct. Driving drunk with no seatbelt and with your underage children in the seat upfront was legal. Much like vaccines and seatbealts designs are free (as in open) because they were too good to be sold and would be unethical to do otherwise.

So if you think a computer is a simple machine and want to treat it as a screwdriver go ahead, most users are not smart to use computers anyway. Because of that most people do not even read what they are installing much less the messages they appear and then they ask why they get viruses or why their system does not work.

I do have to say that my waybar modules might behave odd to some people, some module are set to toggle/modify status on left click/scroll some others(like battery) only to expand info on left click. Still most open a graphical manager on right click but mostly no tooltips.

What is nice is that when they are active they have a bottom border and/or color (like volume module being blue when bluetooth is connected) so it should be low cognitive effort to use.

So yeah, active worskspaces are white, focused has bottom border, focused on second monitors have green bottom border, and empty are gray. Which would be consistent with the status of the other modules.

dotfiles

sure, you want all of them or something in specific?

If you want something preinstalled then I would recommend something from system76 or Framework if you are in the US. And unless you are using the full MS Office suite with email heavily you can do all that with Libreoffice or OnlyOffice(On Archlinux there are clients for things like MS teams and stuff, there should be on other distros too).

I have a Lenovo Ideapad3 i3 iIntel processor and 8GB of RAM and play usually light indie games and it works fine with no excessive fan noise.

There is Steam OS which is obviously tailored for gaming so I guess that would be exactly what you need.

this was already posted earlier today

I meant if you had the flatpak vesion. You can start syncthing automatically with systemd btw.

I disabled blur and my computer is happy now.

oh, how did you install it?

oh man, sway config options is something I miss on Hyprland

2 syncthing logos?

I love logseq!!!

Blanket is an app that plays relaxing sounds, not really a “must have” but it works great.

85°C ? What are you compiling a kernel or something?

There is a solution that librewolf (Firefox Fork) provides in their wiki, it is xBrowserSync(add-on). I have not used it but I guess you can try it

Gnome for its looks, simplicity and intuitive ways, but after Plasma 6 release, KDE seems to be up par with Gnome’s UI/UX so at the moment Plasma ia my favourite desktop.

As for WMs I tried i3, Sway, and Hyprland. Overall Hyprland is my favourite because of its special workspace mechanics, customization and options. But if looks had no value to you and you like Sway’s scratchpad mechanic then sway is for you (plus its documentation is mostly clearer, better organized and well written than Hyprland). Btw I am not comparing their tiling because there are use cases for each person and you can acomplish each others tiling mode with plugins.

green ubuntu goes brrrr

Logseq, which is like Obsidian but FOSS.

I used nwg-look and gradience for custom (or curated and official themes), if that is useful to someone it was pretty straight forward.
