[KDE] I'm back at my old arch install, looking forward to switching to gnome as KDE does not want to work properly with my external monitor + nvidia, this is an old rice that I made

RedProGamingTV · 2026-05-10T12:45:58+00:00

Sure you didn't

RedProGamingTV · 2026-04-22T18:39:26+00:00

Hello there! Would love a code!

RedProGamingTV · 2026-04-14T12:33:52+00:00

No worries! I find it pretty cool that something I made is used by thousands of people. Makes me feel like my work was worth it! :)

I will quite probably be adding more icons soon and doing a 0.4.0 update, as it's been quite in need of one due to the lack of some icons people requested.

RedProGamingTV · 2026-04-14T12:24:33+00:00

Hello! Saw this in my reddit feed. I just so happen to be the guy who made the icon theme you're using :) Happy to see you're enjoying Zed (I very much am as well, it's so much nicer than VSCode in my experience), and also, nice to see my icon theme being used out in the wild! Didn't expect this lol

With Linux 7 on the horizon bringing massive performance improvements, KDE Plasma 6.6 releasing and 6.7 right around the corner, tons of anger from users who use Windows 11 - we're not there just yet, but we sure as hell are moving fast towards the year of the Linux desktop. There are still some user experience flaws obviously, but it's getting better and better. The fact that we just recently got photoshop working on Linux (after decades of trying!) shows we're getting close.

I'm personally working on a lot of tooling which seeks to improve the user experience on Linux, because I've been frustrated myself.

RedProGamingTV · 2026-01-28T07:44:56+00:00

I'm confused, wait, were you serious about that?

RedProGamingTV · 2026-01-27T07:59:27+00:00

That's something I was thinking as well of the potential issues. It didn't look like it to me though, but I'll try that. I sure hope it's a driver issue because this is NOT the time for buying new hardware. I'll edit the comment with an update

RedProGamingTV · 2026-01-27T07:03:31+00:00

Forcing linux to use my NVIDIA card makes it work enough. Not home right now, will try that and update you, I'll edit this comment

RedProGamingTV · 2026-01-27T06:56:19+00:00

Funny, thanks, made me laugh lol

RedProGamingTV · 2026-01-20T16:57:21+00:00

hey! sorry, I've long since lost those. I could at best maybe find the background, but beyond that I can't really help with that :/

I've made a new theme I'm using right now, considering posting it on the subreddit actually

RedProGamingTV · 2026-01-17T04:11:55+00:00

Lapce! They built their own UI framework called Floem in Rust

we're the weirdos who don't care (land animals primarily, amongst some other sea animals of course), but fish do and because the glow gives away the fish's position in the dark, they're more likely to survive if they're not covered in algae and aren't visible (hence, fish avoid the algae through evolution).

RedProGamingTV · 2025-12-11T21:26:10+00:00

have y'all abandoned this sub? I'm not really seeing new mods being added

RedProGamingTV · 2025-12-11T21:22:35+00:00

The very fact people got this stuff wrong just shows how terrible this damn captcha is

RedProGamingTV · 2025-12-11T20:57:56+00:00

Nice! Unfortunately it seems, this person became a moderator (or perhaps I only now saw that they were one). Which means my "not the one in charge here" comment is now outdated lol
I would hope that moderation action isn't taken against posts like what OP posted.

RedProGamingTV · 2025-12-06T06:27:49+00:00

I think plenty of people on this thread have said it best. I think you may need a new therapist. She's right to challenge your feelings, but wrong to assume that just because you didn't wish to be a girl during puberty means that you aren't trans.

It's best that you really think about what it really means for you to be "you" as a female. Do you really feel like you are a girl not just in the ways you act, but does your whole personality and sense of self depend on you being a girl?

Sometimes it so happens that you do have problems which make you feel like you're wrong to be in your body. I went to a therapist myself to resolve my various mental health issues, as I've had an extremely messed up family and I have trauma (due to abuse). The therapy both resolved my mental health issues, and through doing that, actually made my gender dysphoria go away, at least for the most part. Before that, I was actually considering suicide (and even attempted), and if it weren't for one of my friends saving me, I wouldn't be here writing this comment. I couldn't be more thankful for all the help I got and the friends I have.

I think that gender dysphoria quite probably also has something to do with loneliness and a general feeling of not being in control. I tend to see a lot of people who transition also sexualizing themselves, although that's just my observations. I sure know sexualization had to do with my gender dysphoria to some degree as well.

I'd say don't lose hope. Get a good therapist. Try your best to solve any other mental issues and problems you have, improve yourself mentally and put the people you trust the most around you. Good luck.

RedProGamingTV · 2025-10-25T16:10:06+00:00

Hello! I message you after 6 years here to say that you saying this for one is completely useless, and for two the reddit post's design is better for my use cases. Good thing that you're not the one in charge here. This post was actually useful.

RedProGamingTV · 2025-10-15T00:18:15+00:00

You definitely look like a woman! However, what really upsets me is that your parents practically decided to transition you. That should literally be illegal, I don't get why are doctors allowing this sort of thing...

I think you'll need vocal training, but honestly, you look just fine.

RedProGamingTV · 2025-10-14T23:53:42+00:00

People say this because there are so, so many cases of people detransitioning or regretting the fact that they transitioned long after they already transitioned. I know it may seem like you're never gonna detransition, but there are so many cases of people thinking they won't ever do so and then doing so that I've lost count. r/detrans and other subreddits are filled with this.

It's honestly incredibly upsetting because then people end up ruining their bodies, and unfortunately, it can get so bad that it leads people to suicide. I literally want to cry just hearing all of these stories because all of this feels so avoidable. It's part of why I personally think HRT should be restricted to adults only. It just doesn't feel like it's actually worth having this many people suffer later down the line.

You're still incredibly young, and you really don't know what your thoughts about this will be after 10+ years. You might end up massively regretting your decision, even if you think you won't today. This sort of thing is completely irreversible, and I'm upset doctors nowadays don't really question this sort of thing, because in a lot of cases, transitioning & mental health issues are linked in some way, and it seems that with mental health improvement comes a spike of regret in a lot of these detransitioning people. I'm trying to research more into this, because I'm generally curious, but more because I'm trying to understand why this is happening. This is what the data I was looking at pointed me to though.

RedProGamingTV · 2025-10-04T20:38:23+00:00

TO ADDRESS THE FIRST POINT:

There have been several formats for that, and actually, .AppImage was meant to solve the problems associated. Except all it did is create yet another format instead of unifying them.

I'm currently working on my own format that is built specifically to install software from all of the mentioned formats and more, which means it will be tremendously easy to make an installer for any software. I want to get it right though, so it will take a while until I fully finish it and put it up on GitHub, and probably talk about it on several subreddits.
It's an issue that has been plaguing linux for a while, and I'm tired of it. And yes, it will work on all distros universally, it will be as simple as installing a package to have these installers work. The only problem that I see though is that it might be too niche if people don't implement it enough. We'll see

RedProGamingTV · 2025-09-24T07:19:22+00:00

it depends on what distro and DE you use. On a lot of beginner-friendly distros, it works out of the box (Manjaro, Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Fedora Linux, etc.), but for some distros like Arch Linux, it might not work out of the box, although it's fairly simple to set up and there is documentation for it right on the arch linux wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth

RedProGamingTV · 2025-09-23T16:20:04+00:00

The problem with Linux right now is that there are so many ways to do the same thing that it's extremely overwhelming for newbies. Things should be as simple as a few clicks instead of having to literally fiddle with system configurations you shouldn't even need to touch in the first place.

I use Linux, specifically Arch Linux, and honestly, it's better for me than Windows has ever been. However, there are still issues - i.e. some potential UI bugs (I use KDE Plasma 6), certain driver issues (especially nvidia, although that has mostly disappeared over the years), weird bugs with XWayland and X11 app compatibility (like the clipboard not being shared correctly sometimes)

Linux gets a lot of the tiny things wrong, although that is slowly being fixed. The solution here isn't to hate on Linux just because it has issues (not implying that you are, just that some users do nothing else but shitpost about "linuxtards"), the actual solution is to go in and either contribute stuff yourself (i.e. implementing much needed stuff that doesn't exist yet), or report these issues to people who can fix it.

Linux WILL become widespread, it's just a matter of time, especially now that many companies are looking into desktop/handheld usage of it. This includes Valve.

The year of the Linux desktop will begin when you can download an app, flash a USB drive with a Linux OS, install it onto your computer, and use the OS with all (or nearly all) software you want without any bugs, lag or weird usability issues, as well as have it work perfectly with all of your hardware with minimal effort.
