Brother distributes its own drivers, but there are some alternatives like brlaser. Both mentioned drivers work great on linux in my experience.

Nice, I tried enlightenment in the past. Really cool, but not exaclty my cup of tea.

Also check which Wi-Fi driver is used. ArchWiki delais this nicely. Sometimes you may end up with wrong one enabled (I did with some distros in the past).

It is not your mistake. It just could be a very specific issue, misconfiguration perhaps. Even the default installer may mess up. On my machine the Wi-Fi did not work because the distro installer set up wrong driver. To be fair it probably works on most newer machines but mine works with the one that is already in the kernel (which it of course disabled). Also no audio, because driver is still in development and last time I tried it didn’t work. No hybernation because some random wake up bugs. And many tiny incoveniences, but my machine is a jackpot in that regard. Also by default Arch did not detect some USB devices plugged in after startup. Some time later I learned it was the default USB config and changed it.

My point was that just because it is the default done by the installer it may not be the default that works for all machines.

Sounds like you speedrunned distro hopping and used anything but the stuff people actually end up using. I recommend not to look at distros but the base OS. Distro is just a bunch of things on a base. Also I’ve never used Gnome, but friends who have used it eventually switched to literally anything else.

Also, never expect things to be 100% plug and play and then complain about them with no research. There is always a limit with every software. And there are always resources and guides.

I currently can’t get it working at all and had to disable it, because my machine won’t come back up. So i changed my workflow to take that into account. If I need it closed for a few minutes to move I leave it running and if the time window is greater I turn it off completely. There is always a way, my case is just very specific and I don’t necessarily need it. Anyway, good luck getting it to work the way you like.

Just one note. Unfortunate names do exist. If a band has name that is also commonly used to refer to other things, it is really tricky to find them unless they are popular enough. I remember trying to find some music from a band called “6 cylinder”. You can imagine the struggle.

To be completely honest, I don’t consider any name to be bad.

You may say AxCx is terrible name, but once you give them a listen it exactly fits the name. Same goes for Hijokaidan, who are actually named based on one of fan’s suggestion claiming that “escape staircase” suits their sound more. Party Cannon is absolutely hillarious imo, when you look at the logo and the sound. Brojob also has a name that fits their lyrical themes.

In some cases the name may come out a bit lame, but bad names? Nah. I don’t consider any name bad, most of them sound either fucking epic and/or hillarious when you look at the full picture.

Come on, let musicians have some fun.

Just to put it out here. Termux has proot-distro that allows you to run qite a few distros as containers. Technically not a VM afaik. I find it useful, because it is sometimes simpler to wipe that instead of reinstalling Termux.

pacman + yay + appman (in cases where appimage is more convenient)

If you need something from AUR, Chaotic AUR builds some of them.

Technically I also use managers for certain languages and environments, so sometimes cargo, pip, luarocks, … whatever.

I did try to use flatpak in the past, but I just found it annoying. If you do not explicitly need it’s capabilities for a certain app it is mostly makes accessing app’s config and data a major annoyance imo.

Try brightnessctl. If it does not recognize it, go with some tape I guess.

I mean, trying to implement stuff yourself is great for learning. Only once you are confident enough it is worth contributing.

I do like it, but I have sadly fallen down the tiling wm rabbit hole. It’s too late now.

It has been mostly i3 for me. Not for everyone, but I like the control.

As someone already pointed out, try to increase font size first.

I personally use a Vector layer and put text there (not sure if it even works in paint layer). For making it bigger you can then just grab the corner with Select Shapes Tool and resize it. If it doesn’t work, enable Scale Styles in the Tool Options docker.

I am used to using middle mouse button to move canvas in both Krita and Inkscape. I know that it would be a silly default to just use it for movement, but countless missclicks in LibreOffice are reason good enough to be at least ocassionally frustrated over the default.

Same here.

Also, in all honesty, not having bios access or well documented UEFI settings is bigger pain. Searching how to disable autoboot on lid opening was fun.

I was lucky enough to have a chip that’s compayible with brcfmac one. So on vanilla Arch it works out of the box. On some distros, they load a different module, that does not work with my chip, so I had to fix that way back when using Enedavour OS.

Neprekvapilo by ma, keby software čo používajú bol písaný v Jave. Ideálne 8 alebo dákej podobne starej verzii.
