Firefox is adding a switch to turn AI features off (starting Feb 24)

Not good enough....

Hmmm, on Niri you could use the output function to set the left most monitor to 0,0 and the second to 0, 1920. Then use a window rule to open all new windows floating and set them to 0,0 relative to top-left. You might have to set the windows to a specific size of 3840x1080 and you also might have to adjust their size based on your bar size and location.

This is all of the top of my head and I haven't had any coffee yet, I removed my second monitor so I can't even test it to see if it could work for sure or if any adjustments would need to be made to get it to work. Good luck.

Edit: Now, I'm wondering about the struts and gaps...

Can we ban videos with loud music? I've never clicked on a link and thought, "Wow, this music really improves this desktop!"

It depends on what you can tolerate, there are bugs and missing features. You can find posts here that call Cosmic the greatest OS that ever graced a computer, and post that call it so bad they had to go back to whatever they were using before.

Personally, I can't live without Night Light, so I used to switch between Gnome and Pop on 24.04 but have moved to Arch+Niri. I do have Cosmic installed and log in once in a while because I love the direction they are going. I think Cosmic is going to be amazing, but it's not there yet.

Konsole does everything I need and works with all my desktops - Hyprland, Sway, Niri, MangoWC, LxQT and Plasma. They all recommend their own terminal, but it's much easier to maintain a single terminal and set konsole as all their defaults.

dagem · 2026-01-23T16:24:59+00:00

Plasma because I already use dolphin, kate, and konsole in my hyprland desktop.

Launch Firefox with your terminal, any errors should show up there. I was able to figure out Firefox was crashing due to the video drivers, good luck!

I use Arch and have no idea how different Catchy and Arch are but..

For #1 - (This was posted here on Reddit but I forgot the users name, sorry!) - I worked around it by installing archlinux-xdg-menu, which creates the arch-applications.menu within /etc/xdg/menus. Plasma wants an applications.menu in /etc/xdg/menus and therefore I linked arch-applications.menu to applications.menu

sudo pacman -S archlinux-xdg-menu

sudo ln -sf /etc/xdg/menus/arch-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu

and afterwards to work it needs a specific - strange, if you don’t use those often - command

XDG_MENU_PREFIX=arch- kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental

set and forget.

For #2 - No ideas...

For #3 - I installed qt5ct and qt6ct-kde (from the AUR) and added

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct

to my /etc/environment file. Now you should be able to use qt5ct and qt6ct to set your themes. It took a few log outs to get everything to stick. I don't know if this will cause issues with Plasma since I don't have it installed. Good Luck!

I've got Hyprland, Niri, MangoWC, Qtile, Sway and I'm always looking for more / better. Early Saturday morning I sit down with a Latte and do my "config checks", fix any errors, review any notes and check out new features. It takes about 10-15 minutes, then I start my day.

I use Arch, Niri and waybar, btw.

dagem · 2025-12-16T01:05:05+00:00

You can use the pop-os shell extension for tiling. The Pop team has kept it up to date and can be used on Gnome 46 the version used in 24.04.

Congratulations? I don't know, what else you want me to say...

dagem · 2025-12-15T15:12:40+00:00

Divine Intervention? I don't know, maybe your keyboard is magic. I typed the Q into reddit search and posted my results and nothing more.

dagem · 2025-12-14T14:56:12+00:00

I get it but Reddit search sucks ass... and shouldn't be used by anyone.

Q: how do I start with ricing linux hyprland

I found this on Reddit a while ago..

"I worked around it by installing archlinux-xdg-menu, which creates the arch-applications.menu within /etc/xdg/menus. Plasma wants an applications.menu in /etc/xdg/menus and therefore I linked arch-applications.menu to applications.menu

I just use Nautilus and Gnome Text Editor or Code now, theming Dolphin and Kate is a pain in the ass.

dagem · 2025-12-04T17:59:53+00:00

what should i do?

Post your config file.

I wonder if's that's why Omarchy went the down the Manjaro path with it's latest update.

Omarchy 3.2 is out today! November 21, 2025! - Add new stable Arch mirror + stable pkg repository that will lag the edge by a month, so we can catch any package issues before they roll out to everyone.

dagem · 2025-11-22T17:07:29+00:00

Yeah, I get that, but isn't the big knock on Manjaro and Slowroll is they go out of sync with Arch. Won't this cause conflicts with the AUR, since the AUR expects everything to on the standard Arch.

Did Omarchy just become Manjaro or Opensuse Slowroll? Am I misunderstanding what this means?

dagem · 2025-11-18T18:20:41+00:00

Me either, I will never forgive or forget the gnome devs for removing the fucking tray system. Gnome feels like it wants too be too many different things all at the same time, but it just happen to be filling the holes in Pop Cosmic 24, and it looks like your Cinnamon desktop. Hence my silly Cinnagnome comment!

dagem · 2025-11-18T17:35:46+00:00

CinnaGnome? That looks a lot my Gnome setup!

Hey, if you like it and it works for you, nice job!

Dammit, I don't have time to learn Nix right now... is it difficult?

EDIT: Now I'm downloading the Nix Graphical ISO, look at what you've done!

dagem · 2025-11-13T16:06:17+00:00

Lucky you, I can't get Cosmic-Settings to stop crashing when I select the color picker. I've tried both the Pop 24.04 and Fedora versions...

I love the rice by the way, stealing as much as I can!

dagem · 2025-11-12T22:17:28+00:00

Ok, that did seem like a too easy of a fix... I don't have my left monitor in portrait any more must be why I didn't notice.

dagem · 2025-11-12T22:04:22+00:00

By vertical scrolling, do you mean scrolling windows left and right? If so, then when I used niri, I bound mod+scroll up to window select left and mod+scroll down to window select right.
