  • My thoughts too, what makes this alloy so amazing? It seems to me that sapphire is harder, and otherwise similar use cases

    No mention/comparison to Sapphire in the article that I could see, disappointing.

    Maybe it is the sintering process that makes it interesting, could be easier to shape maybe 🤔



  • I would recommend using one of the distros backed by a big company or have very long track records. They are less likely to break on updates, and have a higher chance of supporting any uncommon hardware you may have.

    • Fedora
    • Ubuntu
    • Mint
    • Pop OS

    If you have new hardware (e.g. GPU newer than 6 months) you will probably have issues. Follow the recommendations from the hardware supplier, or use something arch based. I used Manjaro a while when I got new hardware.

    Besides those tips, you should decide which desktop environment you like best. I prefer gnome, as I enjoy to spend time in apps and not on in settings. Others prefer customization. Have a look at https://youtu.be/09cYQJBgKEs?si=KX8FZeMRcMlPTzG2



  • I use Debian + Gnome without custom extensions and like it.

    I don’t use too many programs, so in the overview I have Firefox in position 1, signal in position 2 and steam in 3. Then I use Win+1,2,3 to launch them.

    For other programs, I hit Win and then start typing the name and hit enter.

    For switching between windows, i use alt-tab or alt-(key above tab). If I have many windows or playing game in full screen, I hit Win-key once and choose the window i want.

    I don’t use workspaces, never found a good flow. And I rarely miss a taskbar.
