try setting the PAGER env variable to cat. if it works maybe make a wrapper script/function to set it just during apt execution

hyprland is okayish. it has no window titles you can use to control it one handed with a pointing device, which is very backwards. a top feature is a layer that goes in front of everything. the customization options aren’t that many. it tries to be minimalistic but with effects.

Gnome themes and extensions have more customization options, but it’s a huge mess. it offers tiling with an extension called Forge. This would also be an alternative.

Wayfire is also cool, but hard to set up. For some users, after installing, it’s just an empty desktop without even a pointer. It needs utility apps and proper config.

HDR is not for the type, but for tge resolution: Transitioning from one color to another over 3000 pixels will often result in very visible steps where each region of one color ends and the next begins. HDR can reduce these steps significantly. You need HDR less, if you have only 1080p, regarless if OLED, LCD or whatever. But if you have 4K and the display fills a lot of your field of view (meaning it’s big or you’re close) it can become super annoying without HDR. Of course, some people don’t mind either way. Maybe check it by visiting a store and getting close to the displays. Ask them to switch HDR off and on.

Java really needs to support it. The font rendering through the xwayland compatibily layer is horrible.

Gonna pop Wagners Ride of the Valkyries in real quick 😆

Maybe check out the Gnome extension Forge, if you want tiling, but not all in

If it comes with Windows pre installed, that’s a big red flag for me. Also there will be the cost of a license for it included in the cost that MS will pocket giving nothing in return.

A big mistake many ppl make is assuming Linux should run on any hardware, unlike all other OSes. You get Win11 compatible PCs, OSX compatible PCs, etc. and somehow that’s normal, but when ppl run the exclusively Windows certified wifi dongle on Linux and it doesn’t work, somehow that’s Linux’ fault. I disagree. One should check if it’s compatible before buying stuff.

OpenTyrian is fullscreen, but easy to play with mouse. The player steers a tiny spaceship and it shoots when you hold down the mouse button. You can pause any time with Esc and it has even game speed settings and easter eggs.

If you’re a programmer it is possible. The easiest way would be with a gnome extension IMO. It will still be a lot of work.

Maybe check CPU frequency before and after.

I think it would be best to just delete the files, so you can get used to losing them. Maybe set a cronjob to delete them regularly.

and proper trashing is actually really helpful, so you can trash files on encrypted volumes without leaking them to a unencrypted trash dir.

trashing saves time and has a more continous workflow, as you don’t have to confirm each file to prevent accidents, because you can restore if you deleted too much

Title is misleading. Article starts with a gigantic useless text about “In the 1950s”.
