Epy reader is command line, so not very discoverable, but I freaking love it
Ohhh!!! There is definitely a setting for that (at least on the xp version, but I’d be surprised if it’s not for the 7 style one)
Don’t quote me on it, but I think they just scale to match the panel height, so I’d you shrink the panel the icons should shrink as well. I’ve used the xp style taskbar instead for a long time tho, so I’m not certain…
Thanks for the tip, aerospace looks to be exactly what I’ve been looking for for a long time #-#
To add to what others have recommended:

Maybe try silverblue to see what the immutability thing is about? If you want to stick with what’s familiar, kinoite will give you KDE. If you’d rather try something different, sericea will give you sway.
If there was only a way to get automatic tiling on cinnamon it’d be my favorite desktop by far. Everything you need, nothing you don’t, sensible by default. It’s the right option for most people I think
Last I’d checked, Vivaldi isn’t open source, so do you have any way to verify their privacy claims? Don’t trust black boxes.
Like, if you like it as a browser, that makes sense, it’s ui is well designed and customizable. But every company tries to claim to be privacy respecting, and it’s rarely true.
If you want a tiling window manager, I’d also take a look at sway. In most regards, it works just like i3, so there’s a good amount of documentation available by proxy, but it uses Wayland instead of x11 (so probably don’t use it if you have an nvidia card)
Edit: ninja’d
Theme: any Nordic dark theme Icons: Papirus, it just can’t be beat Cursor: Do people actually care enough to change it? They’re all kinda same-y
Heh, por que no los dos? I’ve got a MacBook, thinkpad and steam deck. Thinkpad runs pop os, steam deck is used as a small gaming desktop with the described setup (as well as krohnkite since I’m addicted to tiling)
I honestly think the best way to emulate Mac OS is by using KDE. Make a dock at the bottom, add a menu bar up top and add a system tray, choose an appropriate plasma theme and you’re done.
The only class I ever had bring it up was my optional college level philosophy class, and even then I’m pretty sure it was more from the professor than the school. I freaking love that man for it, he changed my life. If you want to learn how animals are treated here, most of the time you gotta do the research yourself. Regrettably, very few people care enough to do so…
It’s a bit more complex on Firefox than the others I mentioned
A couple reasons:
Either way is fine usually. If you really care about 1:1 trackpad gestures like I do, get Wayland. If you have an nvidia card, get x11. Otherwise it’s probably not something most people will even notice.
This is true, has mpv started working with it? The reason I have it in the first place is to stream Lofi /synthwave/jazz audio via mpv rather than specifically for downloading. Back when I’d last looked, mpv needed the old fork specifically, but if they’ve updated I’d be more than happy to switch
