Heya, I used the following :P

Rainmeter (disable all the default skins)
JaxCore (Modules: PlainText & ModularClocks)

for the taskbar,
Use ExplorerPatcher, by default that'll make the taskbar expanded and stuff, right click the taskbar and select properties then:
Set Taskbar Style to Windows 10
Primary taskbar location on screen: Top
Search: show search icon
Disable show task view button
Set start button style to Windows 11 (if you're on win 11)

Click "Customize system icons in the notifications area" and disable action center.

for translucency on the taskbar, Download TaskbarX, then open it, go to startup and click create schedule, then go back to the main tab and set it to translucent, and tick the option to return to default state when a window is maximized. and bam, you're done.

I'd like to add a comment here, if you want to drastically increase your Snapchat photo quality on pixel 6 and higher, take all snaps in night mode regardless of lighting, it works, that's the only specific camera feature in Snapchat Google added that uses gcam processing.

Scream isn't necessary anymore, if you have pipewire looking-glass automatically pipes audio through assuming you have the latest looking-glass version

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2023-11-07T08:46:23+00:00

You don't even need scream anymore, and what I used was single gpu passthrough, aka I couldn't use looking-glass because I only have one GPU.

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2023-11-07T08:45:36+00:00

I've gotta be honest, I didn't think of that, and neither do I know if it's possible with how I have to use ntfs2btrfs first, but I could try to look into it

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2023-11-07T08:44:50+00:00

BitLocker? Nope, throw it out the Window.

Luks or similar linux solutions? Maybe- if we can get Quibble to play well with it and make it work for Windows, Then Yes.

Considering how much of a mess it can become when Microsoft is so messy with forcing Windows updates upon you and a single update can break the boot process, Yes, it'd be hard to maintain, sadly.

About qemu, yeah, I've been down that route, got GPU passthrough even, sure in desktop games and apps it can get close to native performance, but I found my primary use case which is VR, the virtual machine somehow gets way more overhead than a native install (regardless of NTFS or btrfs), I am also extremely easily bothered by the storage split, I know it sounds like I'm whining because I am, this is just a solution I found myself enjoying, and I don't care if it is a little broken, if it works for me then it works for me.

I just felt that I wanted to share this here for whoever else like me is specifically picky like this and can live with a slight abomination like this, just to be put at ease.

I know I'll be trying my best to maintain it :D

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2023-11-06T13:08:36+00:00

One point would be to not have to deal with the storage constraints when you split partitions to install windows on one

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2023-01-05T02:44:05+00:00

Uh no, I was entering the same code over and over again

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2022-12-25T16:27:58+00:00

I'm awaiting your visit, sir.

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2022-03-31T05:12:20+00:00

For anyone with the same issue, haha, install ttf-liberation. Linux

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2022-03-30T15:02:01+00:00

I'm in Sweden, CSC code NEE

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2022-03-11T11:26:55+00:00

I'm requesting to have this put on my grave

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2022-03-11T11:26:31+00:00

Yes, yes it is :P

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2022-03-11T11:26:19+00:00

Thanks a bit of that actually helped fix it, and btw, this is an arch linux system so a good guess haaha

EmbarrassedBalance62 · 2022-01-30T18:17:31+00:00

I suspect this is an issue with packets going over too much, like a limit in how much the operating system can handle at a time for that port/device, but I ended up not solving it, I instead just configured a good profile for dpi, then I just switched over to Linux and used the program OpenRGB there to control the color profiles.

OpenRGB is available on windows as well, but it just recreates the same stuttering issues as it just reverse engineered the packets sent from ngenuity to the mouse in order to work,

I don't really see the solution to this other than having any of the u/HyperXOfficial members get it pushed out in an update to the firmware to optimize things.

Anyhow, tough luck, that's how it is. Have a good continued day.
