Hello Linux Questions folksChris has installed linux onto my computer and I do not like how it looks..I need it to look like my windows 7 I had before as this new setup is too confusing and unfamiliar....I liked the windows menu as I found it very convenient helpful and familiar. I miss the look the computer used to have with the bright colors and nice sounds ,as this one is too dark and depresses my mood.I am also having troible finding my programs...I liked the programs I used and cannot figuee out how to get them back. I cannot ask Chris since he is too busy to come visit . Thank you to any kind folks who know how to help!James.
>>107846726should've paid him, he would've installed mint
>>107846747Thank you my apologies for a late response ... I found " System Info" and here is what it says... Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon the version is 6.0.4 .. I have also found themes i can change this to white and it is better but I still miss the colors and the look of my windows 7.Do you know how to get it back?
You have to learn from the pros James and no one is ever too old to learn! Take estrogen and hang out with the magical girls in the desktop threads.https://boards.4chan.org/g/catalog#s=desktop%20threadBut seriously look for Aero themes for Cinnamon on https://www.gnome-look.org/
>>107846726Hello, James.Perhaps after taking hrt, dilating and scheduling your penis removal operation, linux will make more sense to you. We shall welcome you here on this community as a fellow linux user and I'd like to personally thank Chris for his bold move into giving you digital freedom. Looking forward to hearing more about your linux adventure, Jasmine.- Emmanuelle

>>107847559>I needed to do as easily instead of >I needed to doand >felt like it functioned as it should.instead of >it functioned as it shouldthese qualifiers man, it SOUNDS LIKE other software can do what you want it to, but instead of optimizing those work flows, learning those shortcuts, trying software after it updates and may have a better experience than you recall, you've just gave up on them. Affinity and Davinci Resolve both aren't open source, they are both free to use.
>>107847618My RAW files in Darktable start off completely wrong, when they start off neutral Lightroom as I would expect them to. I did give up on Darktable and RAWTherapee because the problems I had with them were solved with Lightroom, while putting in the same amount of effort. There's no value nor accomplishment in spending extra time to get to a baseline. I used all that language because I'm not ruling out what's possible, which highlights the fact that it shouldn't take the time that it does to get there.That said, I'll try out Affinity.
Can I use WD-40 contact cleaner(the one with the green letters) to clean the insides of my PS4 while not removing anything but the top covers(via idk putting it vertically and spraying through the orifices downwards).
>>107847966No. Don't spray anything in high speed digital signal path without a plan to clean it off.
retarded questionbeen noticing some of my games, mainly any sim related games, the gameplay lags and stutters to an almost standstill. the world just behaves in slow motion, despite my pc still being pretty decent.i check my task manager in real time to compare the usage and the CPU and ram doesn't even peak.thoughts>?
What is the deal with programmers coping that they won't be replaced by AIs
>>107845478Bros... my first reaction was to ask chatgpt this question but then I realized it wouldn't work. It's so over for me.Is it because Bob was thinking of 3, 2, 23? The question didn't say they have to be sorted numerically in ascending order. I can't think of another solution after 5 minutes of bruteforcing this question in my head. Basically what >>107846724 said.

My boss gave me an IBM 01EJ598 (1.92TB enterprise SAS 12Gb/s read-intensive SSD in the full Storwize V5000 hot-swap tray) for free because they were decommissioning old storage gear. Can I get some use out of it for shit like hosting movies / seeding or it's basically a fancy paperweight?t. only have a have a normal consumer desktop. I don't have a server, SAS controller, etc, etc... that is apparently required to run this.
Find a cheap SAS HBA second hand. It's a card that goes in your PC. Your boss might have an old one one stashed somewhere, they're pretty common.
>>107847598>USB "enclosure" for it for 100 bucksfor $100, may as well score one with expansion room
>>107847577>>107847598yeah those sas to sata adapters are super rare too.

>Steven Bartlett, the founder and host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, took a chance on an applicant with a virtually blank CV for that very reason.>“I hired someone who’s CV was two lines. Their experience was zero,” Bartlett explained in a recent LinkedIn post. “Much of the reason why I gave her the job was because: She thanked the security guard by name on the way into the building.”>“When she didn’t know something, in the interview she said ‘I don’t know that yet, but here’s how I’d figure it out,’” Bartlett explained. “After the interview she went and self-taught herself the answer she didn’t know, and emailed it to me within hours.”>The founder took a chance on the experience-less candidate, and it didn’t take long to pay off; Bartlett said that six months later, she has proved herself as one of the best hires he’s ever made. “Fifteen years of hiring has taught me that culture fit and character is MUCH harder to hire than experience, skills or education.” https://fortune.com/2026/01/08/diary-of-a-ceo-founder-steven-bartlett-hired-someone-zero-work-experience-thanked-security-guard-before-interview/

IPS or OLED?
>>107836107>Windows has no native way to control monitor brightnessI guess it depends on what you call "native" here. You can control brightness via standard DDC/CI commands just fine, I have literally never had a modern monitor which didn't support brightness control. So your problem is what, that Windows doesn't come bundled with a control program for DDC/CI and you have to download one separately?
>>107847948G-Sync Pulsar is coming to OLEDs too anyways though.
>>107847993I haven't had any issues playing around with it. It's just a shader and you're not dropping frames.
>>107838186>black smearing on low brightnessThis one in particular is constantly noticeable to me on my OLED phone when I scroll in some app that uses a black background and has dark grey text. Very, very easy to spot and I'm shocked how nobody talks about this shit.>the blacks felt like a gimmick, given all the downsidesThe lack of IPS glow is very nice though. IPS glow sucks ass.
>>107848024Because it's just a problem on shitty phones.

>>107847945Hyprland.
>>107847970I think you can use something like slurp to select the region on the screen and screenshot and take a screenshot of it to a temporary file then decode it with zbarimg.I don't use Hyprland so can't test that myself but it shouldn't be too hard for you to write something that does that yourself if you know Bash.
Went digging through Debian's repos some more for weird stuff and found thishttps://a.hollywood.computer/It's a screensaver like cmatrix but way more involved. Makes your computer look like it's shitting itself. If you know someone with Linux please run this when they're not looking and then act really concerned and say, "I'm sorry I touched something and I don't know what happened".

>>107831857A lot of those respondents won't be thinking about the prior conditions or second order consequences of those age verification checks. If you asked 'do you support age verification checks for ... if that involves companies and the government collecting data on everyone who accesses that content?' then a much lower percentage would support that.
>>107846339You just described the problem with democracy
>>107831645You see in 1984 and others where the protagonist is literally a janitor who loves the evil gov and strong leaders because democracy has weak leaders.
I'm a broke Brazilian university student. I need money for absolutely everything, and the economy is terrible. I had the brilliant idea of taking out a loan in my mother's name. The name remains active for this and I would be able to get the loan if it weren't for the easy verification. What to do?
