You can use a black theme. Look at gnome-look.org

You can also reverse engineer them to look how they make the theme blank and apply it to adwaita. This is not complicated as themes are mostly CSS.

Edit to add that you can chat with people from open deskttop (gnome look) to ask your question: https://chat.opendesktop.org/#/welcome

Seems like you have a permissions issue. I just tested it on Fedora workstation gnome, run it from regular menu, then it asked me for password. You, you have a permission denied isssue, so you need to figure out how to run it as root.

They get better everyday. You will use them at some point if you cannot find your software via your favorite package manager.

Great to hear it is a good drop-in replacement. I’ve been using KeyDB, but seeing valkey is more actif, I may endup using it too.

I cannot reproduce it, I just tried to copy some files with various methods but they always end up correctly named. The only difference is that I have Btrfs. I never encountered this issue when I was using ext4 though.

Never noticed that? How do you copy them, from terminal? What software do you use? What file system do you use?

They now he is sick of it and wants to switch career completely.

Participants need to find the right balance of information. I noticed it is productive when developers give just enough information for other to understand but not too much to confuse them and loose time. This is not easy to achieve…

Why is your scrum 1 hour long?

There are 2 kinds of distributions. Ones that are on customization side and those on stability side.

For example Debian, Fedora, and arguably Arch are on stability side. They are intended for people that want things to work predictably and software to be packaged and shipped as the developer intended it. Customization or lack of it is up to the user.

Distributions like Manjaro, Zorin OS, Elementary OS, LMDE or even Linux XP are have a given goal to a particular customization. Either a set of tweaks, a particular look or even their own desktop environment or set of software they develop themselves.

This means that the first kind would have the most boring update, as they just ship new and correctly integrated software. While the second kind would provide very nice customisations or patching of their own to their environment.

My logitech mx master 3 works instantly on fedora with all it’s features. I also have various wired and worless keyboards and mouses that work instantly on Fedora.

For same mouse on windows, I need to wait for it to download and install outs drivers.

Maybe you got things confused or are using LinuxFromScratch or something.

Generally, when things work on windows, it is the effort of whomever made the device or software. Microsoft generally does not develop drivers. However, when things work on GNU/Linux it is the effort of GNU, Linux, or the community. The manufacturer probably did nothing. This simply explains why we are generally relaxed or “give Linux too much benefit of the doubt relative to the “things that just work””.

So fairly comparing a Linux distro to raw windows, Linux is better. When you install a distro, things just work, when you install windows, most stuff do not work and you need to complete setup. Unless you use tools provided by the manufacturer, but then again, it is same story.

Not really weired. For example, a keyboard has a firmware. 99% of keyboards have no way of it being updated or changed. It is part of its electronics. So not a big deal. But, if a keyboard has a way to update the firmware or install another one, then it should be FOSS.
