are you 4chan the hacker?

install lolcat and make bash commands so that update and upgrade come out in rainbow.

That’s neat! Thank you

What is this? What’s an alias for email?

@FemboyNB@lemmy.blahaj.zone fyi, when you run Linux off of a USB drive (aka live USB), it’s likely going to run a lot slower than when installed on an SSD. Just take that into account when you’re testing it if you go that route. I wouldn’t want you to think Linux is slow as frozen molasses and forgo the full experience because of a misunderstanding.

Hi!! 👋☺️

this guy uses Arch, btw

I think it’s fairly obvious that they mean Arch because they are sharing which distro they use without being prompted, which is inline with a common running joke about doing the same thing, btw.

What do you mean flip flopping back and forth between devices? If you’re trying to access the same cloud drive from separate devices, I’m thinking it’s likely that whatever app is maintained by the cloud drive you are using will work on both Windows systems.

On KDE Neon, I go to Online Accounts in the system settings and add my cloud drive. Then, I can access it directly from my file manager as if it were a directory on my computer. On Linux Mint, I think I had to install Gnome Online Accounts or something like that to get a similar setup.

Thank you! 😁

I use KDE Neon, but highly recommend Linux Mint for new users. I’m not in the computer industry, yet I have tried a lot of distros over the past ~15 years. Out of all of them, Linux Mint had the easiest setup by far. The drivers worked without difficulty, the installation was intuitive, the Timeshift app helped me undo any problems I created while tweaking the system, and https://forums.linuxmint.com/ is quite helpful. Compare this with KDE Neon, that had me using a second computer for hours to figure out how to get my specific wifi card drivers working. Now that I have had enough time to learn about Linux and troubleshooting, I prefer KDE Neon for the desktop environment, but Linux Mint really is so easy. Again, I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the write up, OP!

Alternatively, if you want a similar experience but with the latest Plasma version and less bloat, go with KDE Neon.

OMG, get ready to waste a bunch of time personalizing the appearance of your desktop environment. Here’s a site that has lots of personalization options for KDE. You can use it to browse global themes, plasma themes, icons, cursors, and even splash screens (the loading screen when you login in). I have found that finding the theme I want via the linked site, then searching and installing it through the System Settings is the most effective and easiest method for me. As far as personal taste, I use Colorful Dark Icons.

There’s also Kvantium, which you can use to further personalize the appearance, to include transparent windows! It takes a little bit of learning to get it going, but if I could figure it out, it’s probably not too difficult. Basically, install the Kvantium Manager via Discover, download a Kvantium theme from the KDE Store, and then use the Kvantium Manager to install the theme.

Here’s a screenshot of my main screen so you can check out what’s possible. Have fun!

Same for the same reasons! If they say it’s not a distro, then what do they say it is?

Yep, I’m using an NVidia GPU

It’s just slightly confusing because (1) I don’t know what screen the cursor is on, and (2) since they’re out of order, trying to use a specific one is a little confusing.

You’re welcome :)

I’m glad it worked out for you! You’re welcome :)

KDE: When using multiple monitors, being able to configure their relative position on start up. Right now, it just does who knows what, but they’re out of order. Also, I only need 1 logon screen in total, not one in each monitor…that happen to be out of order anyway.
