  • On kde I can have a bottom bar plus a top bar that is only in the middle not the edges, I like the notch look, only way I can get a top bar in gnome is slightly notched it still goes all the way to the edge. Or I can have no bottom bar and then I can have the top bar centered using gnome to panel, but I like having both. Its just annoying to get exactly right unlike kde, but has more extensions I like right now. Idk, im having issues with extensions not working after reboot, like arcmenu, which i need for gnome to be usable, so far now ive swapped back to plasma.









  • I dont understand what the setup issue is, I have everything I need running fine, going back and forth between hyprland (the 2nd most popular preconfiged version) and plasma. Windows is boring and I want better performance for rendering, arch (cahcyos) I seem to get great perfomance so far idling barely uses any resources and most obvious is I can open like 200 tabs without issue while any browser on windows lagged after 10.

    Cachyos does have a gui for setup and its easy to use gparted from the install os or whatever the usb versions called. That was my only issue having to manually partition because auto didnt work, but i just followed the same steps, was pretty intuitve. Arch itself looks maybe annoying to setup, but through cachyos or endeavor it seems to be the move for perfomance and compatibility. Or Bazzite, I do want to be able to run games without tinkering and I ran some steam games off windows on my external ssd eithout issue.






  • Well whats the point of swapping to linux if not to learn random shit, I get good performance on windows I mostly just want a lot of customization over my UI and any performance boost is a bonus, if it breaks I always have my windows partition, don’t think I’ll ever fully commit, I like having the windows option at most ill shrink the windows ssd down to like 256gb-500gb but always have it there just in case I need something that just works (with software meant for it). I want the most custom visuals and app stores for plugins, widgets, themes, etc. whatever desktop environment and distro has the most support for that. It seems like they all pretty much support the same stuff tho.

    I want to tweak visuals but idrc about tweaking internal settings.
