![[Niri] Just wanted to share my first completed setup (>‿♥)](https://preview.redd.it/m32lf60ci92h1.png?auto=webp&s=f2e490956484c99421c0afa1c18ecaa74216a0a2)
For context, I am mostly leaning towards a minimalist setup using niri + noctalia but I figured in the niri docs that its easier to wire up stuff with the gnome desktop portal and so I was planning to lean more towards gnome apps for easier integration but I also see a lot of people saying that kde is good especially with dolphin and plm, idk I’m kind of conflicted right now and was hoping some of you would convince me why gnome hehaha
Like Breach for example, the first 4 songs are in the second "Breach" and the rest of the songs 5-13 are in the first album. Can anyone explain how this happened in Picard, and do I just have to resolve them manually in Picard? I know how to, but I'm just asking why this happens in the first place.
I've just noticed this since I don't apply blur to all my windows like if I was using libre office, for example, with opacity 1.0 and then I opened a terminal beside it with opacity 0.8 I know the blur is a nice feature but having to lower opacity to have it also lowers the content's clarity and I was just wondering if there is a way to boost it back up?
I’m trying to copy my files from my internal storage onto an external hard drive as backup but I noticed that the transfer speed is notably slow as the average speed is just around 12 MiB/s and sometimes it drops to <1 MiB/s. I am doing so via Dolphin but I also tried the terminal which just had the same performance. From time to time Dolphin also stops responding and freezes. Is this a common occurrence with the difference in the file systems or am I missing something else?
I know this might sound crazy but I just moved from Win11 to Fedora four days ago, and although I did try to customize KDE Plasma a bit, as I got myself accustomed to linux and terminal commands, I eventually just nuked it, so now I’ve got a Niri, Noctalia, tuigreet setup going. Honestly, I’m just really proud that I got wallpaper engine to work too.
I still have a lot of ricing planned but idk yet how to do it like make my windows kinda like frosted glass or blurred and I know little about dotfiles either aside from .config and .local, are those dotfiles right?
But I also wanted to ask what are your preferences for file managers? (And an image viewer too because apparently I’m missing one)
Hear me out on this one first before the "just don't dual boot" comments roll in.
As my circumstances have it, I only have one storage slot on my laptop so I don't really have much of a choice. But my plan is to shrink the Windows partition, install Fedora, and use Linux as my daily driver for basically everything I can. I only intend to keep Windows as a fallback for apps like safe exam browsers or specific work related software that has absolutely zero workarounds on Linux.
I've already read up on the common issues like fast startup and secure boot, and the occasional Windows updates breaking the Linux bootloader. But the main question is: given that setup, how bad is the risk really? Is there anything I'm missing that I should sort out before committing?
