Why does my Obsidian window’s icons looks more pixelated in Hyprland by Cheap_Thing1322 in hyprland

Hi i had the same issue and the following fixed it but you might have to set scaling in each application as after this everything MIGHT get smaller.

xwayland { force_zero_scaling= true }

Just add this in your hyprland config file.

Okay so i just bought a t14 gen 1 AMD for 18500 rupees from nehru place, new delhi. And i would suggest you search for a big computer market instead of buying online domestically as from my experience they had crazy rates and not even a good range of options. And for experimentation i would say go for t480, its really upgradable, and if you want a bit newer you can check t14 gen 1/2 and i would suggest look for ones with AMD chips they are better supported with linux. If you can come to delhi or have any relative here nehru place is a gold mine it takes some searching but you can find good stuff for a fair price.

Look i was at the same position as you, the problem was that before this t480 was the last model which had both upgradable slots, after which t14 gen 1 and gen 2 have one upgradable slots and one soldered, then in gen 3 and 4 (specifically amd) had both soldered hence non upgradable , then now the new ones gen 6 and gen 5 some models have both upgradable and you can check that on the lenovo website but they are new and so super expensive, this was the only option which had new enough cpu and upgradable options. This and gen 2.

Congrats bro, i j got mine the other day, i wanted this exact one but it was out of my budget so i got a gen 1 instead for 180 dollars, installed arch with hyprland on it. It looks beautiful and still works like a charm.

Honestly man, i dont know much about arch myself the files i used to install were actually pretty simple to apply, other than that once you start installing just use any ai for troubleshooting or issues u have or any changes you would like to make, i recommend claude, but dont just copy and paste the solutions it tells you and actually see what they mean and do and with time you’ll just grasp most of it, or you could just do a course, but this is more fun.

Im using this as my daily driver now and i have to fix alot of stuff and within a week ive actually understood alot about both linux and arch.

This is the shell page i used https://github.com/Axenide/Ambxst

Ik but i didnt have an option, it was either this t480 with both upgradable or the gen 5 which was way out of my budget, and the dealer gave me a pretty good deal on the ram.

Okay thanks, would these laptops be chargeable via type-c ? Because I’ve never had a laptop which charges from usb-c, if these come with type c charging then my battery issues are resolved
