Just uninstall your proprietary parent and install Linux.

Kde plasma 6

Nix os has a thing like that. Personally I use an arch distrobox. I have a backup of the distrobox image container that I can put on any computer and have all the apps and settings available.

I’ve found Shotcut to be more stable than Kdenlive. Tho I haven’t tried the latest kdenlive yet. Both have glaxnimate support so motion graphics is possible with both.

How much snap you have/need. Or the stability I guess, but in my experience that hasn’t been a problem yet.

The first one but I much prefer the old one over this.

Middle right is epic!

Ctrl+alt+f3 put in your user and password and remove the window manager or install some other one until you fix it.

Neon and Arch in a distrobox container. I’ve found the holy grail of Linux setups. Latest KDE and AUR on a stable ubuntu base.

ADHD, and Pablo Vazquez from Blender.

Didn’t mean no offence. If it works for you, great! But personally I got too into customisations and missed a lot of work which was the whole actual point, " productivity" lol. But damn did my setup look slick that week.

You know I’ve heard a lot of people say that. And i tested it with bspwm, sure I was saving some ram but when you add all the applets, compositor, bar and notification daemons and all the configs it adds up to the same amount of ram being used as sometching like KDE. I didn’t notice a lot of difference other that more time being spent on configuring the wm than using it. It was fun tho.

Oh I love that manual titling thingy. I wish I could save my window setups tho. Also an automatic tile option too.

Don’t fall for the tiling managers, I know they look pretty but they’ll sink all your time and you’ll never be satisfied. Trust me I’ve been there.

Also nondestructive editing

Try running it with wine. The pen pressure might not work tho still. Or maybe with a bit of tweaking it might.

What flippant attitude? The part where they tell the poster to just read the source code? That’s not flippant that’s the exact answer to the question. If you don’t trust it just check out the source, it’s all out in the open. If you don’t like it don’t use it, same as the telemetry alsame as the desktop. FOSS is about choice, you can choose to use Gnome or fork KDE and remove the telemetry yourself. Or maybe just flip a switch and turn it off.

Edit: Also the whole argument about how the “average user can’t read source code” is useless. Remember when audacity put ‘actually questionable’ telemetry in their code? Everyone was up and arms about it, distros still don’t provide the new updated versions of audacity in their repos. Now imagine that with KDE, it’s a much bigger project, any average user would figure it out with 5 seconds of reddit or a simple google search.

The problem I was facing was manually creating partitions. Should I use Gparted to make them first and then use archinstall, or does it not work with manual partitions?

Is there an easier way to install Arch? I know there’s Archinstall but my dumbass messed that up somehow.

KDE Neon, because it runs Linux in the background.
