Best trackpad for Linux?
Is it Apple’s Magic Trackpad? If I dual-boot Windows (for work, I swear!) does it work equally as well across both?
I had a dream about windows and have decided to setup Linux on my laptop. What distro should I use?
I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to...

Any good non-flat Gtk themes?
I’m a sucker for non-flat UI themes. I’ve stuck to Adwaita for a long time cause it seemed to resist the trend of flattening everything, but recently I switched to GNOME 43 and now Adwaita’s fully flat too. Does anyone know of any nice and crisp skeuomorphic themes? (besides the elementaryOS theme)...

KDE Neon / Pipewire issues when gaming
Hi guys! So I seem to have audio issues. Audio will mute for like 5 seconds every 20 seconds or so. It’s very annoying, as it can make you miss whole parts of dialog. It only happens on linux, and only on gaming, so I guess it means the amp/surround system is ok. I use the TV HDMI output for audio, as it gets redirected to the...

I’m using KDE Neon with the latest version of Plasma. Sometimes I get a warning that my SSD has poor health and may die soon. When I check the SMART stats the drive seems fairly healthy. Is this just a Plasma bug?
Create image from SSD with I/O errors
