Very Interesting and pretty setup, although I never understood why people like to waste precious vertical space by having bars on the bottom and top of the screen 🤔
Also I didn’t know KDE has global menu applet, makes me wonder if I can setup it to look like Ubuntu looked back in the old days (does it still have global menus anyway, or just use GNOME control thingies?)
Vertical bars are great but they are terrible for displaying text, either the bar has to be huge or the bar’s width readjusts or text and icons get easily misaligned when displaying dynamic stuff. Personally my horizontal bar is now 70% occupied and I have a keybind that toggles its hidden state.
An apt post title, lovely use of color!
Thanks you :D
You’re very welcome! ☺️
less
,git
, etc should default to color mode on.I’m new to Linux and I don’t know any of these, can you explain a bit more?
Sure.
git
is a command used for programming, much more likely in the future you will useless
, which allows you to view/scroll through/paginate text files.To be honest, the intro of manual pages are really good at explaining commands:
man less
Nice hostname
Haha thanks, took me awhile to come up with that name
Neat. What’s your bar setup?
Menu bar? It’s just normal KDE applications menu bar
The top bar I mean. That’s KDE’s built-in bar? Just styled?
Yes it’s just KDE’s built-in bar, no style or mod I think it’s called “Application menu panel”
What is kwin_wayland_wr? Also do you really have 6 GiB RAM installed? If not you may be able to reclaim some of it via UEFI if the RAM is assigned to iGPU.
I have 8gb and I assigned 2gb to igpu because I already have 8gb of zram, I’m not sure what difference it would make tho
As I found out recently myself, you should almost always set the minimum amount of reserved memory for the iGPU on modern hardware. The reserved memory is just that— reserved. The kernel still dynamically allocates memory for GPU usage as needed on iGPUs.
Really?, so I should set vram to 256mb and everything should still work fine?
Yes, iGPU can use system RAM
