Frodo has been working out it seems

Took me like a minute to find it

After that its Titus’s Linux from Stratch

hyprland or something idk I use plasma

It work none the less, I’m at a stage in my life I rather have stability rather then bleeding edge, I used to enjoy fixing things, till issues started happening when I really needed to work, instead of spending hours fixing wifi drivers.

Only reason I had oibaf drivers was because I was once trying to get game scope to fix a bug with mouse controls on war thunder for Linux. Was dependency issue hell, so after 2 hours I ended uninstalling it and not trying the game.

Never used redshift only to see what the heck it was.

I will be honest I didn’t know much about kde as only had experience with gnome and cinnamon, when plasma 6 dropped I decided to look into it, and ended up liking it a lot more than cinnamon… Didn’t feel like setting up/downloading things again when distro hopping so I back ported kde from kubuntu.

Turned everything cursed white, instead of beautiful blue like it should be.

Didn’t try different user (since i don’t have any other), it was on boot menu and both x11 cinnamon and kde plasma, wasn’t on the experimental cinnamon on Wayland tho.

Every movie ever when in the desert

No option on plasma 5 that I could find, I learned that it was a graphics driver that updated and caused all this, thankfully I had automatic backups setup.

Your message actually helped me find a post of mint forums who had the same problem the day before it happened to me, was a graphics driver from oibaf ppa.

Was yellow with x11 plasma and cinnamon except cinnamon on Wayland was normal, I tried switching to lightdm and it was giving me errors.

I found someone had same issue a day before on mint forums. Apparently it was a graphics driver from oibaf ppa.

I forgot I had timeshift setup monthly (changed it to weekly), so I restored it and everything looks fine. I didn’t lose anything because I was so busy that I only had energy to played Factorio after work which are steam cloud synced.

Old image but this is how it uses to look like, not sure how it’s based off of background

My background isn’t yellow, it’s mountains with a blue sky.

I believe this might be an issue with an app called redshift that automatically comes with mint, it uses geoclue2 which relies on Mozilla Location Service which got shut down like 2 weeks ago. Maybe it malfunctioned that even uninstalling it doesn’t help

Time to boot up the old windows 98 machine from the closet and start making my own modern app alternative.

If they stare at you emotionlessly, they are a Gentoo user who is still compiling their response.

Man, I love BIG servers, I hate the power bill that comes with it.

Fine, my broke ass only has the budget for a few tiny computers anyway. I pick up too many hobbies with the excuse that it’s a great skill for future sustainablity like self hosting, programming, 3d printing, and micro soldering.
