  • In the end I’m learning how everything works “behind the scenes” with a shock therapy (disclaimer: while I didn’t use Linux as my personal desktop, I have a decade of experience with Linux servers, otherwise this migration would have been impossible to understand for me)

    I was expecting for example an easy toggle for dark mode instead needs to set several constants on the terminal (for GTK, for qt, and so on)

    Everything needs one hour of searching but I’m documenting everything for future reference in a markdown file

    And I had to set home as a git repository because otherwise a literal comma in a wrong spot would crash everything and I wouldn’t be able to revert it

    For example I wanted to show the WiFi status on the taskbar (default doesn’t show) and I forgot a comma in the JSON configuration file. The taskbar (waybar) didn’t even start next time and I was presented with a completely empty wallpaper lol














  • From some YouTube videos I’m intrigued in cachyos + hyprland, do you think it’s a good idea to wipe my laptop and switch to that?

    Edit: I wiped my laptop and now I have no idea how to connect to wifi and all the settings because I assumed it had a gui for that like kde instead is all from terminal lol
