A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Jesus fuckin' Christ.. FWIW Arch is my daily driver and all I had to do to use it was install programs I wanted (I'm familiar with the terminal so I prefer yay commands to a GUI, plus I like to consciously know what changes on my machine, and GUIs often come with recommendation advertising)

And things that I didn't do on Windows but is unique to my use case was:

  • switch DE to one that can better support my specific desire of replicating Wallpaper Engine with Hidamari;
  • Install openrazer-driver for (again) my specific desire of controlling my existing Razer hw with Polychromatic;
  • Fiddle with xone and xpad-noone so my Xbox controllers work via their respective dongles;
  • occasionally write .desktop files for the programs I wanted that only came as an .appimage
  • shop around for my preferred libre Office suite

My experience with Ubuntu and Debian have been exactly the same
