Some beautiful screenshots from various OS (mostly Window Managers) (source: DiscMaster)

I spent some time making my desktop look nice. A lot of it is still the default hyprland theme, but I've enjoyed messing around with the hypr ecosystem!

My gaming laptop is like 7-8 years old, and while it has done great so far, there's still one weird-ass problem nobody can quite pinpoint. For the past 4 years, after some (but not all!) Windows updates, he comes back... not quite right? Sometimes, the secondary hard drive only used for documents, pictures and whatever is running at almost full capacity... while I ask nothing of it? And it does barely noticeable freezes (a letter missing while typing, the mouse teleporting slightly, an imperfect, not smooth scroll down,...) Unless I turn it off (turn it off, not restart) but most time the problem stays anyway. Some other times, the window manager keeps increasing its use of the memory until the computer crash — unless I restart it (restart, not turn off) and this one at least "fixes" the problem. Until I turn it off and then on again.

Usually, after a while, the fucker kind of rights itself randomly. For months, it keeps acting normal, like a perfectly fine computer. I dread every windows update, wondering if the next one will create chaos again. And by now, it feels like I'm some crazy person being like "no no it's fine, if I put the computer facing north during the full moon and hit the touch pad two time while speaking german, and then wait 2 to 10 business days, the problems all go away"

I know I'm gonna disappoint a lot of Arch users by saying this, but I just can't use a tiling window manager. Most applications just aren't designed to be tiled, the tiling system works best with terminals and CLI software (which I am, admittedly, not the best with), and it's just kind of uncomfortable and difficult for day-to-day usage in my opinion.

I've only really used i3 because the other ones either didn't work or required too much configuration. If you think I could have a better experience with a different one, then be sure to let me know.
