Possibly? Though I wouldn’t recommend it. I tried that with xfce once, and it technically worked, but tiling window manager and desktop environments tend to have different aims. A desktop environment like plasma will have everything bundled together and playing well as a whole, while a window manager like i3 will be barebones and expect you to pick out the pieces yourself. DE’s are much more beginner friendly, while WM’s are great if you want to get as much customization as possible. Which will better suit you depends on your needs.

Distro isn’t important for tiling, just the window manager. I’d start with i3 personally, it’s been around a long time, which means the documentation is fairly plentiful.

herbstluftwm or something, idk I use Sway

Ohhh!!! There is definitely a setting for that (at least on the xp version, but I’d be surprised if it’s not for the 7 style one)

Don’t quote me on it, but I think they just scale to match the panel height, so I’d you shrink the panel the icons should shrink as well. I’ve used the xp style taskbar instead for a long time tho, so I’m not certain…

Thanks for the tip, aerospace looks to be exactly what I’ve been looking for for a long time #^-#

For anyone trying it out for the first time: If you aren’t sure how to do something, it’s probably hitting the spacebar in normal mode. That will bring up a list of shortcuts, including the debugging, file chooser, and actions (for the lip)

Helix deserves more love. Blazing fast, sensible defaults, good lsp support, vim-ish bindings. It’s really my perfect editor

Last I’d checked, Vivaldi isn’t open source, so do you have any way to verify their privacy claims? Don’t trust black boxes.

Like, if you like it as a browser, that makes sense, it’s ui is well designed and customizable. But every company tries to claim to be privacy respecting, and it’s rarely true.

Hmm… I’m still torn on ai assisted coding. On the one hand, less work is good, on the other hand I trust myself to make my code error free more than I do a glorified chat bot that won’t have to deal with the consequences…

Somehow I’ve become the crotchety person upset about how things are changing, and I’m not even 30 yet…

Helix. It’s fairly vimlike, but with sensible defaults and no plugins so I don’t have to waste any time configuring it. It has good lsp and linting support for the languages I use (js & dart). My config is one line, to set the theme to match my terminal.

What’s with the negative reactions here, people? The post highlights one of the fun aspects of reinventing/discovering yourself, the art style is a common one and doesn’t detract from the message.

lol I’m still trying to figure out my style after living as myself for six years already, though for me I’m torn between cottage dresses vs giant hoodies

Bottom, it’s just easier

On iOS, adblocking comes down to installing two apps:

• For youtube ads: Vinegar, it’s easily worth the two dollars.
• For other sites: Ka-Block, it’s free #^-^#

edit: On Smart TV, it’s a fair bit more difficult. For my Roku, I have an Invidious client called Playlet. It’s not nearly as full featured as the official app, but it’s the best I have right now.
