I love Nix's obsession with redoing everything if even the slightest thing changes, but it does get annoying sometimes, but then I look at its merits and I don't mind it anymore

I mean I usually either play car games using the controller (BeamNG mostly), or I play 2d stuff (Terraria, Stardew Valley), and rarely FPS games (CS2)

My bad, didn't explain it well in my initial comment

I broke my A and S keys when cleaning: because the WASD keys on these keyboards are transparent, I could see all the hairs or dirt under them and once every 4 months let's say, I was pulling them off

And one day they didn't wanna reliably clip back in place anymore

So now I have Right Ctrl on A and Right FN on S to replace the keycaps

So, they're basically newer keys in there, and also they are not transparent like A and S were

As dope as human scars are I guess

4 years and 3 months still going strong. I use the touchpad a ton too and that coating on it has come off too, but it's perfectly usable. It also surprisingly lasted two pretty bad falls with just 1-2 minor cracks that I had to open the laptop up so that i can super glue the cracks just to ensure the cracks won't spread from future vibrations.

Visual condition is pretty unappealing, even a bit bad: the erased keycaps, the lifted coat off the touchpad and one visible crack, but it runs just as it did the day I got it

I don't know what I do to keyboards when I use them for a really long time, but I have the exact same laptop frame and keyboard and most modifier keys are unrecognizable and half of the WASD keys are rarely used keys because I fucked up the keycaps while cleaning and I got other keys off the keyboard in place of them. So anyways, my Windows key is abused beyond recognition and you can't tell it was a Windows key.

ah yes the vimusic - > rimusic - > kreate pipeline

i started using metrolist when rimusic went unmaintained but i still keep kreate around. for now it's the vimusic fork that's being maintained

 

Normally, if no plugin is touching my devices, I can just change their brightness using openrgb --brightness 50. But, if I enable any plugin (like Hardware Sync, or, what I have enabled right now, Effects), I can only change my brightness using the brightness slider inside of the plugin, and the CLI command does not work anymore.

Why do I need to change brightness with commands? Well, I'm using OpenRGB to control the lights on my laptop's keyboard and my mouse. That means my DE cannot stop the lights on my keyboard anymore when the screen dims and eventually turns off after a timer as well.

EDIT: I also cannot assign keybinds to decrease my keyboard's brightness anymore since OpenRGB seems to dominate over any other system brightness control when a plugin is in use

Am I missing something, or is this not implemented yet?

It's gonna be a hard decision to make. I know that because I read about Btrfs for about a whole week before deciding to switch to it. But, I'm a happy Btrfs user now for about 8 months, and I'll be honest with you, in my opinion, if your application does not mainly involve small random writes that'll make Btrfs inevitably fragment a ton, it is most likely good for any situation. I don't know much about the other modern/advanced filesystems like ZFS or XFS to tell you anything about them though
