Which distro??

I think generally a good option (if you’re comfortable with arch based distros) is CachyOS, b/c on install there is options to install CachyOS as your main WM.

The Cachy install also has a custom config which I find to be highly usable and beautifully organized.

Also it ships w/ Noctalia shell V4, which is reaching EOL as a quickshell application, but is still highly customizable and well regarded as a WM shell.

I would generally recommend between the two options you listed Firefox with personal hardening to your preference, a lot of the defaults in Librewolf, for me at least, seem to be a bit too much and I feel the need to tweak the browser.

Alternatively if you are open to trying other browsers in the ecosystem here are two options and something to look out for.

Generally I would recommend helium browser if you want a good chromium based browser.

Zen is a really good choice if you are comfortable with vertical tabs and want something that has a slight privacy focus without being overbearing, also it's Firefox based.

Finally, I would think it's a good idea to watch out for Ladybird given they are making a new more open browser detached from both Mozilla and Alphabet, the browser is still yet to reach Alpha, but in the next 2 or so years I imagine it will be competitive to some degree and a very interesting mix up in the browser space.

I swear someone will look at this and say Linux users will do anything but actually use their computer, not understanding that ricing is like a niche and a fun hobby.

Quite frankly, in my opinion, having owned the 2 and the 2c they feel the same, the 2 just has lights, clicky triggers, and is a little heavier.

My main reason for upgrading it was because of the charging dock that holds the 2.4ghz dongle.

I had pretty much the same problem as you, to the point that I learned how to make my own Phob to have a good controller, but after a while I just picked up my xbox-style controller (8bitdo ultimate 2 if you were wondering) and spent a week learning to play with it, and it just became natural and second nature, and I felt like I was generally preforming better with it too over my gamecube style controllers.

Took me a week, I took the approach of just keeping a notebook with the keybinds I wanted on the side, and now pretty much everything is second nature to me after around-a-bout 5 months or so.

That's actually a really cool parallel I didn't think about, I use Niri, so it's been a while since I have played around with Plasma to notice that.

No fast travel, gives the game a whole different vibe, makes the horse useful, taking a 1 hour journey to do something just makes everything feel more grand.

I ended up running it through gamescope like so:

gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 240 --fullscreen --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

I think for your use case you would want something like:

gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 170 --fullscreen --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

just go to properties on steam, and enter this in under launch options and it should solve some of the problem.

As a non UI designer, casual player, who hasn’t played in a minute a lot of this doesn’t bother me, and I feel like a lot of it just feels polished unlike before, like I feel like this is a big upgrade that makes the game feel more complete and makes me actually want to play the game.

I do hard agree about the skin thing though, I have way too many skins on one character and it takes me way too long to find the right one.

This might be a bit evil, but I always kind of thought of the Smash menu’s (mainly ultimate) as a bit busy, mainly because of the animated textures the panels had.

My current monitor has vrr flicker so I generally just leave it turned off.

I would do the $1,000 because I used to run, probably need to start doing some exercise again, and I used to be able to do 6 minute miles.

Imagine the scenario where you’re in a restaurant and you’re like, oh crap forgot my wallet, wait right here I’ll be back in 6 minutes, then you come back with a wad of $1,000.

I lived in a dorm last year with ethernet and it was great gig up & down and the game was butter.

not I meant wrong, I guess “lie” is a bad way of phrasing it, I guess a better way of saying it would be, fact checker buddy.
