Part of why I switched to Linux was this: https://youtu.be/JI-ye1oa4N8

Not that it's particularly pretty or usable, but like, the fact you can was just amazing. You can really do whatever you want with Linux.

Compiz won over so many new users back then. Wobbly windows and desktop cubes may not have been super practical, but they sure looked impressive.

The amount of times I've tabbed in and out of WoW in front of my friends just to flex that not only it doesn't crash, but it's fancy too. Or just give the game a little shake and wobble to mess around while it's loading.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

2/10 rice, no tiled WM or anime waifu wallpaper

This is only a 5 minutes setup and I can't use tiled wm because I need my sanity, for the wallpaper I still haven't found one XD

What has your sanity ever done for you?!

Switched to Linux a year ago. Haven't looked back since. I didn't even know Windows was getting those creepy ass advertisements all over the operating system if it weren't for the news here. Now I don't want to go back more.

I want to marry KDE Join the polycule 😘

Doesn't look that dissimilar to Windows to me, am I missing something?!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Have you seen what Microsoft has been up to with Win11? KDE is basically windows if it chose not to shove ads directly into the user's eyeballs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

The difference is this can be customized exactly as they want. It may be similar, but the little differences are stuff that you can't change in Windows.

Yes, my EOS/KDE brother/sister/enby

Switched from Windows about a year ago, and have felt zero need to even try another distro or desktop environment.

How did you make the panel completely transparent?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I searched trans in KDE widget store (should show transparent panel), after installed add it to the panel and click on it while in editor mode (it's sometimes reset to default panel after restart)

Decided to throw OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on an old laptop the other day. Haven't fooled with it enough to run up against any limitations yet, but I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Tumbleweed is great. I just started using it after getting bored of PopOS (and it breaking on me after system freeze during updates). Really like the automatic snapper backup feature.

The whole thing if it being semi-bleeding edge is sensible, at least there is some automatic testing before updates are released.

welcome to the linux side :3

I'm on gnome on my daily desktop, and I hate it ! Thinking to switch to KDE but when I read that it took them 10 years to implement a good fuse "alternative" to make samba share work properly... I'm really hesitant to switch...

Gnome is great, but I hate the MacOS feeling... Everything seems soo... Proprietary :/ Maybe something more lightweight like XFCE will fit into my workflow.
