OK, currently on Arch, thinking about trying tumbleweed.

Is it a big headache to install it without BTRFS and all other that comes with it. (I have some doubts with BTRFS regarding filesystem maturity and impact on NVME drive, if it is wrong assumption please explain why?

I have AMD card so i don't expect much problems regarding drivers, but i see some concerns about codecs. Can you explain what codecs are we talking about here. I use MPV which installs its own codecs and i have yet to encounter something it can not play. Is it like a codec for web browser or what exactly.

Is KDE the best flavor currently, i see Gnome 51 still has not landed?

Is it safe and possible to remove YAST if it is abandoned?

Thank You

Is there a way to set steam icon pinned to dash to show installed games on right click, something like tray icon does in kde. I would like to avoid installing appindicator extension...

What is the current situation? Is it possible to block adds on youtube and, if possible, how?

I use Arch for a long time and always avoided AUR.

Now i want to test Brave origin which is on AUR as official Brave packages.

What i am not sure about is wheather official AUR packages are safe or they could also be infected in these latest events?

So i know there are lists, but i am just asking as i am not aware exactly how AUR works. Are those packages locked or anyone can mess with them.

I usually use just default Breeze theme. So, when i updated to plasma 6.7 i went through theming options and when in colors tab you select Accent color from wallpaper and switch to oxygen colors the whole breeze theme sort of follows wallpaper colors.

Also, for some reason, it makes Dolphin details view much more readable and it was always a problem for me in Plasma!

This is a very small step for mankind but big for me 😂

How would you rate default install of hyprland using archinstall?

What would you change comparing to default?

Guys, how do You handle scaling on 4k monitors?

If You set global scale to 2 in config how do You set Steam and steam games to scale properly and resolution to go above 1080p?

Or the better way is to keep global scale to 1 and than set each app to its own scale?

Problem:

I decided to switch to gnome from KDE for no particular reason. Everything work as it should but i encounter a problem with fragmens. When i click on magnet link i get message Unable to add torrent, but if i copy magnet link fragments pick it up and offer to start downloading and finish download.

Question:

I use only one plugin and that is appindicator and kstatus notifier item support. I could not find any way to make fragments go into systray. I read before about gnome philosophy that does not include systray and i did not understand why but just to confirm: Gnome creators think that I should just minimize fragments or leave it on other desktop and it is stupid to have icon in systray where i can easily check the status just by hovering over it...or i missed something.

This is not hating i just want to know if i am missing some functionality. Nevertheless i will still use gnome.

What is your preference. Is it possible to build better experience with mods.

I have 1640 hours in Vanilla and vanilla alone, never played DLC or any mod.

First time since 2016 I have a sort of need to expand the experience, and would like to hear your opinion.

Of the DLCs at least on paper I am mostly drawn to Odyssey and Biotech, maybe anomaly.

Considering this is there any mod or mods that can build similar or better experience, are there any mods that are considered essential by community

So as the title says...what is your experience after long time use. Do You see any scratches or other traces from the pen?
