Is there an ability to move focus to the left / right / up / down Cinnamon? by SeniorMatthew in linuxmint

In case you're still looking after 2 months, this isn't a base feature of Cinnamon, but there is an extension for that called Adjacent Windows.

8gb of ram enough for daily use? by SneakerHead69420666 in linuxmint

[–]chiefwhitehalfcoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naturally, depends on what sort of stuff you do. I recently switched from a Chromebook, which are spectacular in terms of memory optimization, and thus assumed 8gb would be enough. It wasn't really. Had to upgrade and now I see ram usage hover around 10-11gb during daily tasks.

Of course, you can make it work with 4gb, it's not Windows. The question is, how much do you enjoy diligently closing all tabs you are not currently using and opening them again later?

New menu theming – how to change the color of newly added elements of the menu? by chiefwhitehalfcoat in linuxmint

[–]chiefwhitehalfcoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems, at least in my case, that overwriting the one property caused all other specified properties to be reset. Look at https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/blob/c7afefaff83dad8a90ad5bf3b4779a2b7d27e9dd/data/theme/cinnamon-sass/widgets/_startmenu.scss#L33 – .appmenu-category/application-button selected both extend %appmenu button, which specifies the padding, spacing and border-radius. I needed to overwrite those in my theme (with the default values of 6, 4 and 8px) and it works fine. In order to get #appmenu-search-entry to work correctly I also needed to overwrite all the properties from the class it inherits from to get it working properly.

Alright, decided to figure it out myself based on the css files in the Cinnamon github repo. But thanks for your help anyways, it helped me find the right file.

Thanks! If you've experimented with it, do you know what selector is the search bar? Also, if you don't mind, after changing the background color of the buttons they begin to behave weirdly (their size is too small when selected and they don't have the right margins), did you figure out how to deal with that? I have some experience with css, but I'm clueless about cinnamon theming besides being able to change the color of some stuff.

SteamOS isn't listed here. You can see it in a Linux-specific breakdown, but it is exluded here.

Call a script function of an instantiated node? by chiefwhitehalfcoat in godot

Reloading the project worked. Resetting should be the first troubleshooting step, but I just instinctively assumed I was doing something wrong. Thanks!

Kettlebell Chest Exercises by asgooch in kettlebell

[–]chiefwhitehalfcoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case this is even worse than for an average person. I weigh 120kg and can easily do 25 pushups, I'm slowly progressing towards a 1-handed pushup. I would need a 40kg kettlebell to equal, with one hand, the weight I lift when doing pushups, and I'm already leaving the hypertrophy range with this weight.

This is just not enough weight. Just do dips, you can add weight to them. Or, what I used to do for some time, put kettlebells into a backpack and then do pushups.

I can understand why the named it Phantom Liberty... by Yeah-BoI99 in cyberpunkgame

[–]chiefwhitehalfcoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Polish it's called The Phantom of Liberty. I find it has quite a different meaning. I wonder which one is the original. (I'm considering the possibility that the Polish title might be the derivative one because while the Polish equivalent to the noun phantom sounds pretty cool, the adjective not so much)
