i've been having problems with windows for the last few weeks, should i use this as an excuse to switch back to linux?

hi there, i am currently running windows as my main (and only) pc atm, however i've been having some driver issues that just cant seem to be fixed, and they seem to be a windows problem.
i used manjaro linux daily for a good few months a couple years back and loved the experience, and over the last year i've really wanted to try out cachyos.
my main concerns about switching over to linux is a lack of photoshop and premiere pro, as well as possibly saying goodbye to some games i play, not entirely sure if i will actually have to tho.
would really appreciate if someone gave me their two cents, i only have one ssd and i dont feel comfortable dual booting off of it as it was a pain last time so itd be a full swiitch, i feel meloncholy about leaving behind my riced up windows cos i've spent a lot of time on it but i think linux might be the way to go for good now...
thanku in advance lovely penguins <3

how do you save money privately?

hi there, i was curious on how to go about saving money privately, avoiding traditional bank accounts etc. I hadn't seen anyone else talk about this so far so i wanted to ask for opinions?
i was thinking buying a lockbox and saving my money all as cash, but that feels unsafe for some reason.

Turning off RGB when computer screen goes off

Is there a way I can set the RGB on my computer to turn off when my monitor goes black? Similar to the setting on SteelSeries GG which allows you to do this with a flick of a switch. There was a post about this that I found from about 5 years ago and I know a lot could have changed since then, if there is a way to do this could someone help / let me know?

how tf do you cable manage....

hii, i've been working on some repairs for my pc and had to take everything apart, this has been a 5 day project including multiple amazon orders and im just about to give up lol

everything is plugged in now but the idea of cable managing sounds terrifying and ridiculously hard and i don't know where to start, especially with this rgb hub that i had to buy to get some new fans working

would anyone be able to help walk me through it, thank you in advance

edit: thank you all for the help, i've unplugged everything and now just trying to figure out where the argb hub will go so i can get to replugging and cabletieing everything, any suggestions would be really helpful

does anyone know how to make dialogue submods follow the alphabetical order set by the base game.

hi guys, i've installed a bunch of submods recently, and i've had a really random problem with this specific submod.

i've since spoken to other people about it and found out a lot of people have this problem, where the submods custom dialogue appears at the top of the dialogue screen, rather then following the alphabetical order set out by the game

all of the other submods i currently have installed do follow this system. I don't mind editing the files myself or letting the creator know aobut how to fix this, so if anyone knows how to i would really appreicate it <3

game load and start times are super long, suggestions?

(reposting because for some reason reddit filters took the post down)

hi everyone,
i've been messing around with submods recently, and after instally a few i've gone from a few seconds to launch the game to like 1-2 minutes.
my speculation is the autosave submod, however i also installed log screen at the same time that i feel might also be the problem??
i installed about 10-15 submods in total right now which i feel like isn't a lot but the game starts super slow
does anyone have any experience with this or any tips?
(just an fyi, my computer is relatively powerful, its not insane or anything but it shouldn't be struggling with this that's for sure)

edit: i did move the autosave submod to see if that helped and it actually didn't so i'm genuinely stumped

edit 2: *SOLVED*, in case anyone else had this problem, it was the log screen mod, uninstalling it put my game back to normal, i've reached out to the creator to see if it gets a fix <3
