Many electron apps will break because they install some executables into ~/. config

So double win!

Depends on the use case. Definitely for my laptop though. In fact the decryption keys only exist in two places:

  1. Inside my TPM
  2. In a safe deposit box at a bank.

I have yet to find a distro that doesn't run my favourite game

You can run 5g on unlicensed spectrum too, and there are fully open source 5g stacks. The primary issue there is that most phones don't have the hardware to connect to those networks. But the same is true right now of wifi on 900 MHz.

"Because I can" is a perfectly viable reason. Messing around and doing ridiculous things is one of the best ways to learn.

Fewer steps than yours, but I'll claim this as a win in the "purity" field where you have to stop at the first layer where you can run a Windows app.

Linux on a RISC-V device -> container -> qemu-user + binfmt -> x86 VM software -> FreeBSD -> Linux binary compatibility -> Wine -> Windows app

Some people use plasma because they like how configurable it is. I do like that, but I'm also drawn to it because of its great defaults.

The main ways I change it are setting my background (on my work activity I have it selecting from various company related backgrounds while on my personal activity it uses a selection of my favourites of my own photos) and adjusting the bottom panel.

  • I have bash scripts light and dark that make dbus calls to set my global theme to light or dark mode. I switch between them regularly, and opening system settings and pressing a button is too inconvenient.

Your first one sounds similar to me though - I use activity-aware Firefox to separate my personal and work accounts on my personal and work plasma activities.

Honestly, if it can generate subtitle files it'll be a huge benefit to people creating subtitles. It's way easier to start with bad subs and fix them than it is to write from scratch.

Nvidia and overheating. Name a more iconic duo.
