Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is... Y'know. A thing....
You know what I just realised? These "universal formats" were created to make it easier for developers to package software for Linux, and there just so happens to be this thing called the Open Build Service by OpenSUSE, which allows you to package for Debian and Ubuntu (deb), Fedora and RHEL (rpm) and SUSE and OpenSUSE (also...

Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I've been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I'm considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it's more compressed than .mkv. So;...

Keep it with smartphones like you would with every other computer: reinstall the preinstalled OS. Meaning in Android: a model that supports custom rom.
Btw, Samsung has probably the most, hum, custom vendor rom on their phones.

I tried different font settings in the font settings and it didn't improve much (font hinting, anti aliasing, custom DPI settings, different font size)...
I admit i stopped reading after i got alienated by the bullet points. And Gnomes points after are nice and all, but only caring about their own vision is not the solution either, especially if you create one of the two main GUI frameworks. A tool is not an art piece but something that has to adapt to the user.
gsettings didn't work in my case. Which is why i guess it's libadwaita. Btw, i'm on XFCE.
edit: though, toggling light/dark via gsettings might work.
editedit: it didn't. But GTK_THEME=<theme> did. Which is kinda troublesome still, since you can't switch session variable content for the current session. Needs a wrapper script now.
Thought about "merging" because ssu works without asking for password, but it has weak argument parsing (need 'ssu -- stuff') and works only on cli stuff. "Merging" meaning taking some inspirations from rdo to fix ssu. But ssu is great if used in yay (aur helper) or for nano, mv & co.
