I tried reducing the font size to no avail. Seems it's the fonts fault.

The KDE system settings have no such option :-/ All my google results for line spacing are regarding the terminal, non for my case. I guess there is some config file somewhere that I can edit, but sine I am still nee to Linux, I jave no idea where to start.

 

Hello everyone.

After I changed the default font in KDE Plasma 6.1.4 on Bazzite to Atkinson Hyperlegible, all desktop icons have weird line spacing in the name. Notice how .png is hanging behind tge icon for TextFile sh. Changing the font size does nothing. Only if I switch back to the defaults does it fix itself. Any idea how I can keep Atkinson as a font and fix this issue?

Edit: In edit mode (right click on desktop) I can set the Text lines to 1 which makes things bearable. Still no way to manage the weird spacing issue. Seems that not all icon are affected. Couldn't find a pattern.

As long as he doesn't touch my blinker fluid, all is well.

There are a few video on YT from reputable creators highlighting malpratices Apple does on a yearly basis to rip you off in every way imaginable. Louis Rossmann and Hugh Jeffreys have done some "compilation" videos on that topic. To point you to a quick one, search for "Astonishing Anti Repair Pratcices by Apple in the last 15 years" by Hugh. If you value yourself, don't buy Apple products.

As a newbie in this space, I had interactions with a few distros over the years and lately switched (hopefully) permanently.

My first experience was with Mint 10 years ago. Installing it would cause some GPU driver defect (AMD card) and would turn the whole login screen into an epileptic checkerboard pattern with no way of doing anything. It took me a few reinstalls and a ungodly amount of googling to find a solution which involved opening the terminal at boot process. You can only imagine how frustating that can be for a newcomer.

Later in time I had Ubuntu on my laptop which had a bug that wouldn't spin up the CPU fan and it would simply overheat and shutdown. I had to take it to a technician to find out what was causing the random shutdowns.

A year ago I decided to try Debian on my desktop PC as many have praized it for it's rock-wolid stability. It didn't want to work on my PC. No internet connection and some weird bugs. Took me two-three days to get ti to work and I still don't know what exactly fixed it as I have applied every possible solition I came across.

Much later, aka now, I decided to go with Bazzite on my desktop as many have claimed excelent support. I wanted to install the mimalloc because I play Factorio a lot and a few reddit posts claimed 20% UPS improvement over the stock scheduler. After downloading the source code and following the 4 very easy steps, cmake would throw some random eerors at me claiming some critical files were missing, although they were right there in the usr directory. Turns us Bazzite some some issue and Fedora 40 compiled the code in seconds without any issues.

Conclusion: Linux users, which are very tech savvy or work in that space, know what to do when things don't work out, while the rest of us keeps googling and crying over error messages for things that seem trivial. You never seem to know if it's you, the system or your hardware.

Sound like something an ad would say

My aproach was to use two drives. I had Windows on the first, then disconected it and installed Linux on the second. That way I dont have grub and use F11 to open the bios bootloader to select the system I want.

Counter question: Who wouldn't benefit?

Keeping someone locked up for decades doesn't solve a problem. It hides it. Some things can not be corrected and we need to come to terms with it.

If someone is causing such a massive problem, there ought to be a solution which isn't letting people in the future deal with it after he is out of prison.

Let me rephrase that: this is aging like fine wine

Some stupid meme about a girl who told in a street interview that men like to get sloppy blowjobs

Google says:

"Fujoshi is a Japanese term for female fans of manga, anime and novels that feature romantic relationships between men."

 

Does anyone know any additional sites for downloading ebooks in German besides anna's and libgen? I am mostly interested in sci-fi/fantasy novels.

 
 

Any idea where to find one? I know Germany is very strict with its copyright laws.
