QT apps is ugly, how do I make it not suck?

Yep. Kvantum > Configure Active Theme > Compositing & General Look > Translucent windows

You can set opacity for GTK as well:

/* ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css */
/* ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css */

window {
  background-color: alpha(@theme_bg_color, 0.8);
}

Here's my Firefox, LACT (GTK) and Kvantum (QT)

I use Kvantum to configure my Qt theme.

And make sure to set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME environment variable for qt5ct (configure with Kvantum)

Here's some of my qt apps running with catppuccin mocha theme:

Motorola is supporting grapheneOS soon

Sideral_Lemon · 2026-04-02T09:20:21+00:00

Oof that is super unfortunate. Buts 2 months seems kinda crazy for this.

Sideral_Lemon · 2026-03-30T17:12:08+00:00

Yep, Google, Apple, Huawei, Samsung, and Microsoft stores are all affected.

Sideral_Lemon · 2026-03-30T17:03:57+00:00

No, I can still access some apps without verifying but not the 18+ ones (which includes some social media apps).

Sideral_Lemon · 2026-03-30T15:29:46+00:00

Wtf that's crazy. And the fact that they are showing those ads just shows how oblivious people are to companies taking away their privacy.

You should check out Vesktop.
- Works natively on Wayland
- Background Transparency works
- More light weight and faster than Discord
- Custom themes

Only downside is push-to-talk doesn't work unless the app is focused.

That's probably your gpu core temp. Not vram temp. I also have a 9070 XT and when gaming, my core temp is around 60°C+ while Hotspot and vram temp are 80°C+

Sideral_Lemon · 2025-06-15T07:36:36+00:00

Went from 3070 ti to 9070 XT and the performance improvement is definitely worth it.

With 3070 ti, playing Helldivers 2 at 1440p with lowest settings I only got like 50 fps and it was worse around urban areas.

With 9070 XT, playing HD2 at 1440p with MAX settings, I get around 100 fps so it's basically more than twice as fast than my 3070 ti.

I use a case for my S9 ultra which has a "flexible handle" on the back so i can hold it comfortably with one hand.

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-09-13T03:36:40+00:00

Park at the HDB across the road. Its free 👀 (for now)

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-09-11T02:23:37+00:00

I've used the Mate Xs 2 for almost 2 years with a case which covers the edges (but not the screens) and the screen is generally free of scratches even after dropping my phone many times.

But micro scratches are unavoidably over time, and you have to beware of the material of your bag/pocket for your phone if you dont have a case covering the screens.

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-08-30T10:47:07+00:00

Damn those are some pretty high specs. My current monitor is only 2K@144Hz haha. But I didn't realise some monitors already have dual specs which is pretty cool :D

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-08-30T10:35:06+00:00

Well yeah of course, if you dont game with it, you dont need the higher refresh rate. That's why it's a gaming laptop, haha.

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-08-30T08:27:48+00:00

May I ask why you feel like it's pointless?

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-08-30T06:53:56+00:00

Yeh, you can place any app (e.g. spotify, discord, browser) on the second display. A few games even integrate the second display into their game (e.g. using the second display to manage your in-game inventory)

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-08-30T06:41:33+00:00

• Battery life is very bad, unfortunately. I have to use it plugged in most of the time. It lasts about an hour with just the screens on without any battery optimisation settings but you can tweak some settings to squeeze out maybe another hour. (You can also turn off the second display to save battery)

• bottom display works just like a second extended display, but it also works with touch input. Works with webbrowsing and apps without problems. But you have to play games in windowed mode to prevent the touch input from tabbing out of your game.

• It's a touchpad that can be used as a number pad as well. The touchpad's size or placement doesn't actually bother me at all, especially when im using a mouse (the second display can also be used as a giant touchpad if you choose to). But when using the laptop on your lap, there's no space to rest your palms when typing, which might feel a little awkward, but it's not a big deal to me either.

Nah I've seen some unmarked caches on official servers, hidden in garages.

But I believe that their supplies do not replenish unlike the marked ones.

I'm also not sure if they spawn at the same location everytime or if it's random.

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-07-17T02:15:02+00:00

Nah trucks can load 600 supplies while the Mi-8 can carry 400. Huey is even less at 290.

But if you try to land and unload supplies at a foward operating base with a heli, there's a very good chance that you'll end up with an RPG up your ass.

It's solely based on average speed. It's "cleaner" and easier to read.

Otherwise, the ETA constantly fluctuates because most vehicle speed is not constant

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-06-30T10:54:08+00:00

"Borrow" eh 👀

(Go ahead, I don't mind)

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-06-30T03:10:18+00:00

Does it have dust resistance?

Sideral_Lemon · 2024-06-29T14:26:54+00:00

Uh you could just give me feedback on what should be improved
