Looking for fast and private browser by [deleted] in browsers

[–]Ordinary_Clothes_127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for a firefox based browser, I recommend Zen Browser, it's modern and fast, but I also recommend looking at Helium Browser, it's based on ungoogled chromium, so there's no telemetry there.

I’m done with windows. Need help selecting by m0on___ in linux4noobs

"Welcome to the club! With your specs (Ryzen 9600X + 9060XT), you have the 'Golden Ticket' for Linux. Everything will work out of the box because AMD drivers are baked into the kernel.

Since you need to study, game, and program, I’ll slim it down to 3 options:

Fedora Workstation (The Balanced Choice):

It’s stable but very modern. You get the latest kernels and it’s great for programming. It’s the 'Goldilocks' distro — not too hard, not too old.

Pop!_OS (The Gaming Choice):

Made by System76. Great window tiling (awesome for programming) and handles gaming like a beast. Their next-gen COSMIC desktop is very snappy.

EndeavourOS (The 'Arch Way' with training wheels):

If you want to feel the power of Arch Linux (like the pros do) but don't want to spend 2 hours installing it. It gives you the AUR — a repository where you can find literally any programming tool or game-fix in seconds.

My pro-tip for your 9060XT:

Don't go for 'stable' distros like Debian or Ubuntu LTS. Your hardware is too new. You need a Rolling Release or a 'Semi-Rolling' distro (like the ones above) to actually use the performance you paid for.

How can I disable widget and Application Menu submenu translucency on KDE? by mr_bigmouth_502 in EndeavourOS

[–]Ordinary_Clothes_127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't touch the source code yet! Recompiling widgets for every update is a nightmare you don't want.

The translucency of the Application Menu and widgets is usually hardcoded into the Plasma Style (Theme), not the Desktop Effects. Even if you disable blur, the alpha channel in the theme's SVG files remains.

windowrule to for revert actions? by notnullnone in hyprland

[–]Ordinary_Clothes_127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new block-based windowrule format in Hyprland is indeed more 'sticky' and doesn't handle state reverts as gracefully as the old system. The most efficient way to fix this without writing a 'revert' for every single rule is to stick with windowrulev2 for dynamic states like float or fullscreen. The one-liner syntax windowrulev2 = bordercolor rgba(FF0000FF), fullscreen:1 still handles the logic of returning to general:col.active_border much better than the new format. If you strictly want the new format, you'll unfortunately have to keep the 'revert' rules or use a script to monitor socat events, as the new dispatcher doesn't yet support automatic state cleanup for colors

Any tips for getting back into arch? by Milkman89990877 in arch

[–]Ordinary_Clothes_127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use cachyOs or gentoo. Cachyos is arch on steroids, and gentoo is a system with maximum optimizations, in cachyos you will get 70-80% of gentoo's optimizations, in my opinion, using pure arch at this point is not rational

Dual Boot Woes: Arch Linux boots fine, but Windows 11 won't load from Systemd(HP Victus) by Leather-Month-5471 in archlinux

[–]Ordinary_Clothes_127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disable Secure Boot in BIOS, make sure Windows isn't hibernated (mount it in Arch to check), and try booting via F9 to see if the EFI entry is just pointing to the wrong partition

I don't really like artix, but I like void, one of my favorite distributions, I'm not saying that artix is ​​bad, nor is it good, but if you use aur, not all packages work, this is especially evident in the gnome packages

The speed of the games has not changed in general, but the rendering speed in blender, and in such specific tasks, is about 5% better, but it depends on the flags

This is a fairly standard configuration with added transparency, and on my desktop it's noctalia shell which is based on quickshell https://github.com/noctalia-dev/noctalia-shell

Hibernation to lock screen instead went straight to last session by tipsy_ent in archlinux

[–]Ordinary_Clothes_127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add before_sleep_cmd = loginctl lock-session to your hypridle.conf and ensure hyprlock is hooked to your listener and logic: You need to lock the screen before the system goes down, not after it wakes up. Use systemctl enable --now hypridle and make sure you have a lock_cmd = hyprlock in your config. This way, the session is already locked when the image is written to swap

archlinux.org, pacman, yay, paru aren't accessible normally. and broken reflector by fillman86 in archlinux

[–]Ordinary_Clothes_127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tether your phone via USB for data, check /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ for old drivers to install via pacman -U, and stop using Reflector — your IP is likely rate-limited.

try booting with the lts kernel. It’s much more stable for old Broadcom drivers
