Theme: any Nordic dark theme Icons: Papirus, it just can’t be beat Cursor: Do people actually care enough to change it? They’re all kinda same-y

KDE with Tela icons, Breeze cursor and Nordic theming. I experimented with a few different themes with the Nord colorscheme, but it seems like Nordic is still the best looking and most consistent.

Cwilliams ,

Does nord ever feel too low-contrast for you? I recently switched from nord to one dark for that extra bit of contrast. It makes it easier to read on those long coding hauls

theshatterstone54 ,

Literally the only reason I don’t use Nord. I love it in theory but I find it quite hard to read.

I can’t remember my icon pack rn, but I use and love the cursor pack from Mint as I am not a huge fan of the mouse stem. (The one from Peepin is also really great)

The theme I use for my apps is just gtk4 (with gtk4 for gtk3) and Grandiance on wich I put the same color palette than the material you apps on my phone so the feel is consistent between devices

dillydogg , in Projects that are experimental or daringly innovating the terminal and command line world?

It might not be what you are looking for, but I think nnn is a interesting reimagining of terminal file navigation/management.

Xfce with desert teal blue. Icons is Moka Icon theme.

WeAreAllOne , in NewsFlash 3.0 Released with Slick New Look

Looked nice, but it won’t load on my system. OpenSuse Tumbleweed KDE

eddanja , in Microsoft Edge, anyone?

I used to because they gave out free coupons for various things (like Amazon). The issue I had with it is that the right-click menu for Edge on Linux overrides the OS and that of a browser. It was annoying enough to go back to Firefox.

JC1 , in What can you do on Linux that you can't do on Windows?

I’ve been an on and off Linux user for a long time, but my main OS used to be Windows. I recently switched to Linux (Arch btw) and I love it.

For my use cases, here is what I like about windows:

  • Office 365
  • Gaming
  • Onedrive
  • Just works
  • touch screen and touch pad
  • Hardware support
  • Autohotkey (can live without)
  • Software compatibility
  • VR
  • Parsec

Here is what I like about Linux

  • Dynamic tiling window managers.
  • Customization, I can have my notifications on the top right, the way I like them.
  • Smooth as fuck: very fast!
  • Very clever solutions (looking into NixOS currently for example)
  • Terminal: fun to use and it’s fast!
  • Much more control over my system.

The things I dislike about windows are mainly that it’s stupid slow compared to Linux and the growing presence of telemetry and ads (though I wasn’t that affected). Also, I can’t replace windows default shortcuts or some functionalities.

What I dislike about Linux is that there is always something that doesn’t work properly. I currently have issues with DPMS. My laptop has trouble with the behavior if the touchpad, sometimes the gestures work, sometimes they don’t, it depends on its mood I guess. I tried Wayland, but with a nvidia card it has a lot of issues, I had to go back to X which sucks since I really prefer the way wayland works. I’m quite technical, but sometimes the solutions don’t really work.

I read a few things in this thread that I disagree with though, namely:

  • You can launch apps from PowerShell (terminal)
  • You can have package managers, I used scoop, choco and winget. Every app that I use can be installed and updated with those, from PowerShell.
  • Pretty sure you can update your system from PowerShell, then you probably can make a script to update everything.
  • You can disable auto-updates and auto-reboot in Windows. I never had my computer reboot on me and it stays open 24/7. What I liked is auto-update, but no auto-reboot. I chose when to reboot, only had a notification which was disabled when I was playing a game.
  • There are options for launchers, the windows menu or powertoy run.
  • You can create shortcuts (similar to .desktop) and you can also make a bat script instead of a bash script.

A lot of comments are about a knowledge deficit, not a capability deficit from Windows.

captainlezbian , in Deciding for ourselves: 98% of people want a browser choice screen, Mozilla study finds

I changed mine. I love that librewolf is a thing but I wanted some of the convenience that Firefox has over it

Chewy7324 OP ,

As someone who considered switching to LibreWolf, what are some examples of conveniences found on Firefox that are not available on LibreWolf? I’m mainly sticking to Firefox since I want to sync my bookmarks between devices.

captainlezbian ,

Firefox is my password manager. Also syncing bookmarks and passwords between devices.

Miyabi ,
@Miyabi@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Librewolf is able to do that by turning sync on in the librewolf settings.

Chewy7324 OP ,

Oh thank, you maybe I’ll finally use it for a while.
