  • I’m back on Windows 11 for the first length of time in a while, after a hardware switch.

    It’s aggravating as hell with all the popups and embedded ads. My last update just straight up failed and had to revert.

    I also don’t get what Windows users are talking about when they say Linux is harder. Every time I have to change a minor setting in Windows, it feels like I’m picking through 20 years of legacy dialogs, and I never know which layer of legacy it’ll be buried in.

    Gnome. Mostly vanilla except for some extended tiling for when I need it. Also sped up animations.

    I bind Activities to an extra mouse button. But I’m also comfortable without that.

    I’ve used a lot of stuff over the years. Started with the kde 3 series. I just don’t really want to do a lot of fiddling anymore, and find the default Gnome workflow to be a really good fit for me.






  • Holy moly, I have a very similar chair but in red. I just got it so I could have a robust chair at bar-height.

    My problem is that removing the footrest portion leaves mounting brackets poking out at whichever point you remove it. So I’m particularly interested in your process for chewing through any metal bits around there.

    I don’t have trek-thematic advice, but I can tell you that little chrome armrest bit is the perfect size to rest a normal-sized trackball.
