He’s kinda grown up with his audience. I dropped out of watching as I hit adulthood, then tuned back in for his “meme review” phase, where the inside joke was that everyone watching was a nine-year-old, when in reality he already had an aging audience.

He eventually grew bored with the format (and at that point already he made it clear he was doing it for fun, not because he needed to). The view counts steadily trended downwards as he switched to making videos he wanted to make, instead of ones that made money, as he was set by then.

At some point he ran a book-club style format, because he wanted to get into reading more. At least some portion of the fanbase was into that, but at that point he lost a lot of viewership.

Nowadays he seems to post very infrequently, and it seems to mostly be vlog-style content about family life and living in Japan.

The integrated GPU in your processor is not an additional bit of computing power your computer is not using, but special software that can use your processor to put out graphics if a dedicated GPU is missing. It is extremely inferior at processing graphics compared to the real dedicated GPU, and if you were running firefox to watch (Not decode) youtube, you would very likely see things like screen tearing as the processor struggled to keep up.

This is straight up wrong. You are confusing GPUs with display adapters.

iGPUs are an actual on-die GPU, consiting of their own hardware, present on the die in addition to the CPU.

They can game. They can hardware decode and encode media, etc. They are full GPUs. Some are even quite powerful, though usually you’ll find them to be designed for everyday use and only light gaming.

The GPU in every recent game console is technically an iGPU, same goes for phones, and the Steamdeck.

They do not “translate” GPU instructions into running on the CPU cores.

That’s software rendering, and is what CPUs do when there isn’t an iGPU at all. (Though they’ll still need a display adapter, which a GPU can act as. But a display adapter doesn’t need to be a full on GPU. And iGPUs aren’t just display adapters.)

If the issue is KDE specific, the bugtracker is over at bugs.kde.org. Make sure to try and find out whether someone has already made a report.

Hey now! You gotta at least set your timezone and keyboard layout, too.

There is.

You can add a taskbar icon for KDE night color. Clicking it opens a panel with a toggle, and quick acess to the full settings page. It should be in the config for the taskbar icon applet.

KDE also lets you set it to specific times if you want, maybe it didn’t use to?

KDE has similar functionality built-in. (Called night color, you can find it in display settings, and add a control icon in the taskbar).

HDR? Pretty much yeah.

I found qView even before I switched to linux. Windows gallery is such a piece of shit.

Yup. And it’ll be a huge improvement overall to simply have both performance and accuracy in one, and not have to pick one or the other, regardless of what application is being run.

fsync isn’t part of wine, which is what they are referring to.

Fsync and Esync are both inaccurate representations, and while they help performance in many places (particularly games), they break other things. Hence, while useful, they never got mainlined.

NTsync is an accurate reimplementation, hence why this functionality will finally become part of wine proper.

then what’s the advantage of using that over the native capabilities of btrfs?

btrfs multi device file systems have some limitations. Adding a drive is instant, but if you want to stripe the data using raid0, that requires a lengthy balancing operation. The alternative is “single” mode, which does not concern itself with striping, and just pools the storage available. The disadvantage, is that in single mode you get the risk of raid0, with no performance benefit. btrfs does not actually make sure that the different blocks that constitute a single file end up on the same drive, which means that if one fails, you still likely lose everything.

MergerFS does not mess with any of the filesystems being combined. It can be configured to work in different ways, but each drive will remain its own, consistent, functioning file system. Drives can be browsed individually, removed, added etc. Instantly. To “empty” a drive, you just move the files on it to the rest by using the non merged folders. By default, “writing” a new file will always go to the drive with the most free space, and individual files cannot be stored “across” several drives even though the contents of a folder can be. This way, whatever is on each drive, can never be damaged by the failure of another drive.

So the benefits are isolation, and convenience. The downside is a definite performance hit, which may not be significant depending on your system or what you’re storing in the merged filesystem.

So I could do that for the root folder as well I imagine?

No. And you wouldn’t want to. First for the performance hit. Second, because mergerfs merges folders (drives have to be mounted, first), and uses a third as a mountpoint. As an example, to “expand” your home folder, you’d move your homefolder somewhere else, then merge that moved folder with the new drive (which you still have to mount somewhere), and then you’d mount the resulting file system where your old home folder was before.

You could even have two folders on the second drive. Use one to merge somewhere you want to pool all your storage, and the other to put stuff on the second drive in a way where losing the first won’t make half the files go missing. You might use that to store a copy of the OS install from the first drive, for example.

If you want to just extend storage space, maybe mergerfs?

/media is now for the system to mount stuff automatically. Using /mnt for something you’re configuring personally is fine.

You could mergerfs the new drive with some folder you’re already storing a bunch of stuff, and it will pool the storage capacity of the drives for that folder.

I don’t remember what program it was but I once went to configure something, and the command to “open settings” essentially just opened a text file in vim.

Being a nano scrub that took me a second to get out of.

Yes. I do this. You’ll want to look up X forwarding.

Once set up, you should be able to execute GUI applications installed to machines you connect to via ssh, and have their GUI show up on the machine you are connecting from.

I would absolutely use it. In fact creating and editing services would be the primary selling point IMO. It doesn’t need to be much “easier” than doing it in the terminal or file explorer, to me the primary benefit would just be the ease of use of creating, loading, and starting a new service all in one place.

I think a generic template would be great.

You could turn the whole thing into a giant GUI settings screen, allowing navigation to an exectuable, after which you could provide some of the most typical options as sliders, number fields, switches, or whatever is suitable. But that would be a large amount of work, and I’m not sure it would simplify things much.

The starting point should just be a text field, but with a link to the service file docs for help/reference.

Oooh this will be perfect for a bunch of stuff I do.

Can you create new services or do you still need to create the .service file manually?

What about .timer files?

I don’t think that will do what OP wants. This is how to change some of the colors by configuring the shell you are using. Yes?

But Konsole can also apply a color scheme, and it can change whatever you like. Check my other comment.

Like the other guy said, the appearance of the actual terminal is determined by the profile, and the applied color scheme.

The color scheme of Konsole is part of the profile. To create a new one: Right click anywhere>Menu>Settings>Configure Konsole

Click profiles, in the top right click “New”.

Click Appearance. From here you can add, change, and edit the available color schemes. Once you’re happy, click Apply. Close the dialogue.

Select the new profile and make it the default. Done.

In my experience firefox also seems to remember where I last saved something from each website, and by default opens the download location dialogue there so I can often just hit “save”.

If I’m saving something from pixiv, it goes to where I last saved something from pixiv. Same for imgur, catbox… Etc.
