I found Linux Mint Cinnamon edition to be an incredibly easy transition. Just make sure you disable secure boot and use the drive format that the installer recommends.

I know it’s a bit more niche here, so I try to chime in when I see airplane stuff. An account I had on a now-defunct instance had a bunch of airplane memes and comments.
Absolutely on the delamination. Paint on metal can go for a minute and be okay as long as there’s primer still protecting the metal; but on composite the flaking will just lead to more flaking. Plus, the water intrusion damage and wicking you can get with carbon fiber. Gotta check that stuff often.
Hi, aircraft mechanic here. I don’t have a lot of experience with the 787, but here’s what I know based on composites, working PAX service, and general airplane BS.
787’s are new-ish, but not THAT new. An airplane even a year old can start to show wear and tear depending on the carrier.
787’s have composite wings, which flex a LOT. Great for performance, no so great for rigid bits like paint.
Aircraft paint is typically a two-part mixture with an epoxy resin base. It’s pretty tough stuff designed to handle temperature changes, UV, abrasion, etc. That being said, paint mixed later in service for repairs might not quite match in color and texture. If the airline buys cheap paint to cut costs, well, it’s going to flake off quicker.
Typically, your brushed-on paint done during overnight maintenance isn’t going to last as long as the paint sprayed on in a clean, well prepared environment with even application. It’s likely you will have to repaint that area.
When I worked PAX, we took extra care to keep the top of the wing painted in good condition and avoid using speed tape to temporarily cover missing paint patches unless absolutely necessary. It’s well known this is a high visibility area for customers. From what I recall, the airline would respray entire areas of the aircraft as needed during heavy checks to keep the paint in good condition. Cargo service? Who cares! As long as it meets airworthiness requirements per the manufacturer, send it! Most of the time, the paint is such a poor match it sticks out like a sore thumb. I recall seeing a 747 freighter at one point that looked like it had a green, receding hairline from all the exposed primer it had running down the hump.
So, all things considered, yes, that paint job looks terrible. However, it’s not going to affect the performance of the aircraft. Any exposed composite is going to get covered or painted as soon as it’s spotted to help protect it and prevent further paint erosion. If anything, all those paint patches might cost the airline a few extra drops (and I do mean drops) of fuel by the end of the flight from parasitic drag.
I agree. The transition has been fairly smooth, and cinnamon edition looks great.
That was my first thought when I saw OPs screenshot. I still hear “check 6” in my head every time I get zoom and boomed in War Thunder
Can you provide more details? What you’ve described so far sums up most RTS games. Was it real time? Turn based? Were the units modern day? Historical? Sci-fi?
It really helps that there’s a quest book to guide you through some of the mods. Otherwise, you’re just searching for recipes in your inventory and hoping for the best.
I highly recommend playing with a mod pack on a return playthrough. You can still do all of the vanilla stuff, but the experience is also expanded upon with things like steam quarries, programmable mining bots, digitized wireless storage, blood magic, dimensional travel, and cozy kitchens with in-depth cooking.
I used to dive pretty hard into Feed The Beast, but All The Mods seems to have taken over it. The big thing with these packs is making all the mods play nice with each other, so they can share resources and be cross compatible.
I recall one pack where the world was a wasteland. All the ores were depleted, and the oceans were toxic. You had to figure out how to try to grow crops, make survival gear to explore, and eventually make mystical crops that could produce tiny bits of ores that you could harvest.
Somehow, our gaming habits keep overlapping. I just started playing Minecraft again a few days ago. However, I’m playing “All The Mods 10”. I’ve been focusing on creating an aesthetically pleasing factory this time. So far, I have a cozy house with a workshop. My mineshaft is behind the house, and it’s my starter shack converted into a garden shed.
Unfortunately, it looks like gamescope just isn’t going to work for my system.
It didn’t seem to have an effect, unfortunately.
I’ll take a look into that. This laptop is using one of those hybrid Nvidia GPUs, so it took me a bit to work out the performance issues at first.
I’ll give that a shot tonight and let you know
It does not seem to work for me. After inputting
wmctrl -a helldivers -b toggle,fullscreen
I just get a quick black flicker and it goes back to minimized. I also tried changing the win argument to :SELECT: from the documentation you linked, but it still doesn’t pull up the window and keep it there.
The command does work for other windows, for clarification.
An extra detail: I’m using 2 monitors. When playing with borderless window and moving the mouse rapidly, I’ve had my mouse escape the focused window a few times and start clicking stuff on my desktop.
From what I’ve looked up, it does. However, at some point the ability to change border settings in Themes was removed.
I just gave that a shot. When I come back and re-fullscreen, the game minimizes and goes back to the problem state.
It depends on what daemons you have installed.
