As someone who’s made my own themes before, you can design both light and dark themes to use the system color scheme if you know CSS. It’s just more work than it was worth for me, but you could modify a theme to do this if you have the time. This KDE doc is where they explain the basics of theming if you’re interested.
If it weren’t for Sardinia being centered on this map, half these regions wouldn’t stand a chance

100% agree. As an Oregonian, that border on the Willamette made me wanna cry. Literally no consideration of nature or people with that boundary, and yet it’s called a “natural border”.
Not necessarily. When Ubuntu 22.04 had an issue where systemd-oomd was killing apps that touched the swap, something like this notification would have cleared up a lot of confusion from end users, myself included.
In my experience, gaming distros primary benefit is being preconfigured with apps and patches you’d install on a normal distro.
For normal distros, this difference isn’t big enough to impact your distro choice in most cases. The reason these get recommended is due to their post-install setup being easier than the distro its based on, hence being friendlier to new Linux users.
However, for immutable distros this is a big factor as it reduces the need for layering. Layering makes updating much slower, so less is always better.
My journey went Ubuntu (2012) -> Kubuntu (2018) -> Manjaro (2020) -> Fedora KDE (2022)
Most computers I had were used and low-end so Linux was always my preferred OS, but I always dualbooted with the version of Windows or MacOS the machine came with when I could.
My current computers have been Linux only for a couple years now, thanks to Windows being a headache and MacOS being inflexible.
It says in the article that triple buffering only activates if your GPU struggles to render the desktop. That means old and weak iGPUs are getting this. For your desktop card nothing should change.
I’ve been using Linux off and on again for the past decade.
The original reason I used Linux was because as a kid I got stuck with whatever old laptop was laying around, so my dad would install Ubuntu to make it usable.
When I built my first computer a couple years ago and started using Windows 10, that’s when Windows stopped working for me. Nothing made me want to switch more than when the major Windows 10 updates broke my software every 6 months.
There was this one from a couple years ago that was about self-driving cars and also sponsored by Waymo. Tom Nicholas made a video which IMO does a good job of covering the problems with that video, and the broader implications of this kind of content on YouTube.
Its almost certainly a VirtualBox issue. I would suggest changing the graphics controller to one of the other options. I have my Linux VMs set to VMSVGA as that has had the fewest bugs.
If it makes you feel any better, VirtualBox 7 has had quite a few regressions specifically with the graphics stack and has caused problems with all of my VMs. My Windows 11 VM only rendered a black screen until 7.0.10 and all my other VMs are still using old versions of Guest Additions because of the instability with the newer versions.
From the research I did a couple years ago, Office 2010 is the newest version that works out-of-the-box on Wine and the later versions have problems related to Windows Update functionality. Codeweaver’s CrossOver seems like it can run Office 2012 and later, but its paid software with their own patches to Wine.
For me, I’ve had a copy of Office 2007 on my system since 2021 and it seems to have all the important features of modern MS Office, so I wouldn’t stress about running the latest version if you have an older version on hand, unless it is older than Office 2007, because those only support the older Office file formats.
The TLDR summary is that AVIF was going to be the next generation standard for image formats but when JPEG-XL released with a near identical feature-set, better quality compression, and backwards compatibility with JPEG, the tech world put its support behind JPEG-XL.
Naturally, Google as one of AVIF’s creators was unhappy that the standard they control looks like it will lose the format war and so they decided to use their web monopoly to kill JPEG-XL in the cradle by killing support for it in Chrome around a few months ago.
While this has slowed JPEG-XL’s momentum by a lot, even the other co-creators of AVIF like Apple, Meta, and Microsoft are still putting their support behind JPEG-XL and it seems like they would rather force JPEG-XL adoption themselves than go back to AVIF.
PPAs and the AUR are very different. Where as PPAs contain prebuilt .deb packages, the AUR hosts PkgBuild scripts that typically pull from a git repo and compile a program for you.
I understand the confusion though, because they accomplish the same goal of installing software that is not in the main repos, but in different ways.
I have an iPhone Air after renewing my cell plan this year. Its alright
I also have a OnePlus 6T running PostmarketOS but I use it more for tinkering than as a daily driver right now
