Does anyone have asome gtk themes that have a kvantum version?
I can find a few like Adapta Orchis Ambiance (orange) Qogir Arc etc. but I can't find any gtk equivalents easily for the other kvantum defaults and in general most gtk themes just don't have one.
I want to have matching themes for both GTK and Qt but some of my Qt applications don't work properly with the gtk3 and gtk2 theme engines for Qt.
I especially want to find some that are more skeuomorphic in their design architecture, most of the ones I find are based on material design.
Ambiance is a good one but I can't find a kvantum equivalent for the blue one

Trying to get GTK and Qt to look consistent is a fool's errand, friend.

In which directory am I supposed to download git repos?
The git manual uses /srv/git/ on servers and I did the same but this directory forces me to use sudo to do anything.

nrd for "I fucking love nixOS!"

Here's a cool tip:
use `nix.settings.trusted-substituters` in your nixos config, instead of `nix.settings.substituters`, so that not every flake will try the substituters for everything. Then, in flake.nix, do
nixConfig = {
extra-substituters = [...must match one in your trusted-substituters...];
};

Also someone mentioned there's now proxy sites for 4chan so I don't have to wait for the captcha countdowns. Is this legitimate info? Idc if I get datamined.

I've got a slightly tough question (at least i think its tough). I've built my own customized fedora kinoite image using ublue's template from here https://github.com/ublue-os/image-template but with the fedora bootc image instead of theirs. I'm stuck at trying to preinstall the proprietary nvidia driver. Can anyone point me in the right direction to achieve this? I've tried looking at ublue's akmods-nvidia repo but they have so much going on in there, it's hard to parse what is specific to nvidia from what's not.

Today i’m installing Linux Mint, because one of my programs (Start11) stopped working. This had made Windows 11 pretty much intolerable for me. I primarily use my computer for games (old and new) so any pro tips are welcome. I haven’t touched a non-Windows OS in over 20 years, but can use Windows blindfolded. Here are my relevant specs :

>CPU i5 12600K
>GPU RX 7900 XT
>RAM 32 GB DDR4 3200 mhz

Thanks

Some of your games might not work

>>106971647
Good job making the switch! It can be a bit difficult getting used to the change. There are so many ways to go about this but if most of your games are on Steam, then it's just a simple install from the Linux Mint app store and then you're off to the races. If you play competitive games, you may have a hard time since a lot of them use Windows specific Anti Cheat software that doesn't work as well on Linux. If you use other game stores for your purchased games, you can try using Heroic Launcher.

I can see the argument for it being overall "messy" in certain ways but it looks perfectly fine in most ways out of the box to most people as far as I can tell. But fine I'll read this textwall
