VS code is technically not open-source since it has many proprietary blobs on top. VScodium is the fully open-source version.

I don’t know how much can Revanced be considered open-source except for their Revanced manager app since you still use the patched versions of the proprietary Google apps.

Sorry for being pedantic.

I know this is probably not a solution to your problem, but maybe:

Are you sure Linux doesn’t support shared GPU memory? I mean if you had an integrated GPU with no strictly reserved memory which is fairly common on cheaper notebooks the GPU has to share the memory with rest of the system. There’s no other way for it to even function.

Gnome seems to still require you to install a browser extension to use Shell Extensions.

You can download the Extension Manager from Flathub. You don’t have to use a browser to install extensions at all.

KDE widgets are fantastic, I love having system monitors in a hidden panel at the top of my screen so I can really easily check system resource usage. I haven’t found anything similar on Gnome yet.

There are extensions for that in Gnome. I would mention “Vitals” or “Astra Monitor” if you want to go overkill.

Konsole by default switches tabs with ctrl tab but Terminal doesn’t and thats basically my only issue with it.

Default Gnome terminal is bad. Even Fedora which is a distro that ships almost every DE without any changes switched from the default Gnome terminal to Ptyxis. Ptyxis is probably still not enough for power users, but at least it has more settings including the ability edit keyboard shortcuts and looks better.

By default on KDE, if you shake your mouse the cursor gets bigger and there doesn’t seem to be a size limit which is so fun to do lol

There’s also an extension for that in Gnome although it probably does not have this funny “feature”.

I think my issue is related with how Acer’s UEFI handles efi files.

I know that this is not a Linux specific problem either, however I didn’t know where else to ask.

AFAIK on most distros and desktop environments the default file manager can read NTFS partitions without any further setup needed.

I dual boot Fedora with secure boot enabled for half a year already on my notebook with exactly 0 problems. Did few Windows updates already.

I actually found Cinnamon to be more resource intensive than Gnome on most computers.

When excalidraw was mentioned in another comment I think it would also be worth to mention tldraw even though I don’t kniw whether it can be counted as an replacement since I never used draw.io.

I don’t understand why the control panel UI wasn’t modernized instead? Would that really be unfeasible? I think it still might have been less work than to maintain 2 coexistent “settings/control panel” apps and migrate from one to another. Sometimes you have to throw out the old code base and start from scratch. But if you do so shouldn’t you rather distrubute the result when your finished and not in a half-baked compromise-like state?

On Android, from FDroid you can install an app called Seal

I like ytdlnis more.

To anyone with a TV running Android I recommend SmartTubeNext: https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube

LibreTube

I am sorry. I went to a little rant, but I meant it rather funny even though I realize it feels aggressive 🤣. I am just enthusiastic about this topic even though I don’t know that much.

You can with some tinkering. You can uninstall the default launcher with ADB shell and some Android TV show select launcher options when more than 1 is installed.

It’s very fine unless you decide you just must and have to convert that audio to MP3 (the audio loses quality with every lossy compression), because you are an old boomer and other formats scare you even though almost all modern device can play OPUS or at least M4A or you are one of those people who call themselves “Audiophiles” to feel more special, but wouldn’t recognize a shit if I played OPUS 192kbps on their 2000$ home audio setup instead of the 24 bit uncompressed FLAC that has over 30MB in size each. I have most of my library from YT Music which is ~128kbps OPUS and it has been transparent on all audio devices I have played it till now.

That’s how one spends time with his kids!
