Lol dw, you won’t get shot here for using your hardware how you intend to use it… Why would anyone get mad about that??

Well if you don’t use your trackpad then obviously Gnome gestures won’t be a big point for you. I never really used to either back when I used tiling Window managers, I solely relied on a purely keyboard driven workflow, until I got a new job and they use MacBook Pros as our work laptops, there I got super into the trackpad gestures. For example, three finger swipe left or right to change workspace, three finger swipe up for an application/workspace overview.

I’ve jumped over the years, Gnome, Cinnamon, KDE, XFCE, Unity, AwesomeWM, QTile, XMonad, Hyprland.

For the last couple of years I’ve completely settled on KDE for my Desktop, and Gnome on my Laptops.

I love the customisability of KDE and being able to turn it into whatever the hell I want lol. But Gnomes gestures on a laptop are unmatched in the Linux space imo, and finally at a point that I firmly believe Gnome gestures are now on par with MacOS gestures.

Have the search results on Brave Search improved? I tried it a few months after they launched it and found the results terrible

I really need to try this out at some point. Just been too lazy to give it a shot

The dictionary bang is 100% something I’ll be using quite often moving forward

I hear you, but sometimes when I’m working I want 2 things when trying to solve a problem quickly; 1. Accurate results, and 2. Speed and performance.

So while I do use SP on occasion, I find that sometimes for me it can take a while to load the results and just generally get a bit laggy. This can really start to annoy me over the course of a day, it’s those moments when I just bite the bullet and go to Google directly if DuckDuckGo isn’t giving me what I need

Its amazing, I work in the IT industry, I love exploring different areas of tech, but the concept of bangs in a search engine has never come up haha. I’ve seen not ever really used them in a terminal when forgetting to run a command as sudo

I’m not sure sorry

Vans, comfortable basic shoes that go with any outfit, and the flat bottom makes it super easy for heel-toe

Yeah there’s an option somewhere there for it. That’s what I’m using for Icons-Only on the top bar. My dock is static (in regards to showing apps)

Haha I did yeah, very heavily. I was very much in the closet about presenting femme, but was quite open about being bi

How are you treating it? And if not you should start. Don’t let it grow now

Sounds like depression to me. Tired and bored all the time are quite classic signs of it. Maybe try and seek some help while you are still young? Before letting it manifest into something bigger

I feel you, I get like this sometimes as well, it’s what we call “getting in a rut”. When I become self-aware of the situation, I just treat myself to something, could be a new keyboard, or PC part, or maybe it’s just going out with friends for a few drinks.

This tends to at least put me on the path to climbing my way back out of it

Thanks for crossposting this! Much appreciated ☺️
