@toothpastesandwich On my phone I have several Wii sound effects for different notifications. Messages & emails have the Wii Message Board "new mail" sound, important notifications have the "update complete" & "copy data complete" sounds, bad notifications have the "failed to read disk" sound, & other notifications have the Wii menu click sound. The UI still has no sounds at all though because Android launchers never have sounds :(
@toothpastesandwich Right now I just have the KDE Oxygen sounds because I haven't set up any custom sounds since I'm not sure how to yet. I really liked the Wii & Wii U sound design though; they did alot of the work making the console fun even outside of playing games, even things like changing system settings & hearing the clicks & scrolling sounds. I would love to have a computer with similarly complex & fun sound design.
@harbard Keep backups of your entire home folder. That way if it happens again you can quickly restore. You could use a systemd timer or cronjob to run rsync at a set interval & have it copy everything to a flash drive you leave plugged in, or maybe better to copy, then compress, then delete the copy once you have an archive. That way you can keep multiple backups as .tar.xz files or something, & if your SSD suddenly fails in the middle of a backup you'll at least have part of a functioning copy, allowing you to restore the backup just before it & then update from the partial copy.
I wonder what will cause your entire operating system to disappear, could it have actually been a corruption? I had that once & it caused my operating system to be unbootable because the filesystem was damaged & the computer could no longer find everything required to boot. I was able to repair my ext4 partition by using fsck in a live session off of a USB flash drive, then I was able to boot again & I didn't lose anything.
@Sunsofold Oh ok! I'm pretty sure that's another widget, but I forgot what it's called. The menu bar can be hidden by setting a window rule, then you can add the widget to the desktop or a panel.
@victorz@Gemini24601 Do you mean the app icons on the bottom bar being separated from the launcher icon on the left? The task manager (which displays the app icons) & the launcher (which gives you a categorized list of all installed apps when couches) are different widgets in modern Plasma. You can put other widgets between them, such as a panel spacer like what's shown here. A panel spacer is an invisible widget that takes up a certain amount of space on a panel or can be made "flexible", which will cause it to take up all available space but allow other widgets to take that space back whenever they push against it. Two panel spacers are holding the task manager in the middle of the panel.
@checksout I missed this!
I got the split panel & side bar by just making two more panels. Plasma lets you add extra panels & put them on whichever side of the screen you want. For the two bottom panels I had to manually adjust their sizes so they would only fill the left half or the right half of the bottom. You can probably do this with other desktops that have panels or if you only have a window manager & a bar there's probably a way to duplicate that bar. I think I've seen similar things done with Waybar but I don't know if it's really two bars or if it's just visual. I'm only familiar with Plasma so I have no idea how to do this with anything else.
@unixporn@lemmy.world@unixporn@lemmy.ml@unixporn@lemmy.sdf.org@unixporn@programming.dev This is still a work in progressš
I keep making very small changes. Panon now only goes through each color once & my terminal now has no window borders or a menu bar, it's just a sheet of glass. I wish I could make my terminal have rounded corners, but that seems like an every window or no window thing. I have also discovered Panel Colorizer & I might need to mess with it & see if I can make something cool out of it.
@krimson It's usually at around 1% unless I do anything, then it might go to 4%. If I record a video with Spectacle it goes up to 11%, but with OBS it only goes to 6%. It only goes up to 75% when doing something very intensive like transcoding a video. I've never managed to get it to 100% & I think it thermal throttles before it can. It's a Ryzen 7700.
@Deebster There are two pictures too. I know this is just one of those small differences between ActivityPub servers, but I thought there was some workaround I could do, I just forgot what it was.
