If you do not wish to interact with me, Lemmy has a wonderful block button, you don’t have to tell me how you want me to act, that is odd behavior and you wouldn’t do that when interacting with people in real life if you live in a civil society, it is odd to try to control how others interact with people instead of just blocking them when it is so convenient to do.

  • Did you use an alt and comment somewhere you were banned (unknowingly) I did the same. I did manage to make a new reddit account on a new phone different email, just can never log into my old accounts here or itll ban it.

  • Even then all you need is arcmenu (customizable startmenu with many easy to use presets) and dash to panel/dock to get it looking nice, it’s pretty usable by default if you don’t like clutter. I love scrolling through the extension store and seeing what people made for their needs that might fit mine. I have dozens but I don’t need them, it’s all just a nice bonus. Mostly also use tophat to show resource usage, chronomix for a timer for work in the topbar, the one that adds the background app icons, and idr the customization ones to make the top bar be colorful and have seperated buttons instead of a bar.

    All the gnome hate is why I used kde for months before giving gnome a proper look (initially tried it for 5 seconds and didn’t even try to use extensions), I have not wanted to go back for the 6 months I’ve been using gnome.

  • No complaints with cachyos, it just works, has solid defaults, I like it over alternatives since I like using the aur repos, but honestly now that ive adjusted to linux, all of what I need could be grabbed through a flathub appstore like bazaar/software, any disto works, the performance gains are marginal, don’t really need to use the terminal at all on cachyos, but even less so on other distros, unless you constantlly finnick/tweak and want to be on arch for that purpose, any distros fine and should work pretty much the same, most like mint are much easier to use and setup, since you never feel the need to use the terminal on those.

    I think the biggest benefit of cachyos is actually all the des you can install when launching, easy to reinstall and try all the popular ones.

  • On cachyos gnome it wasn’t immediately obvious how to grab extensions and that they even existed, so at first I was like f this and immeidately swapped to kde, only used it out of necessity because the global menu had issues and it was faster/easier to install another de over reinstalling my os and grabbing my apps again. Then after googling I realized the extension store exists and now I love it, but yeah it was initially off putting, I didn’t have a gnome user around to tell me whats possible or a de with extensions already enabled to view.
