No, the user is doing something very wrong here and this is way worse. Please dont give wrong advice.

True, the device should absolutely be shown on lsusb

Please dont just run whatever command with sudo.

Please read a bit of stuff before trying out crazy stuff.

Do you even need that driver?

Please dont follow windows workflows.

If you run a random script with or without sudo, you can easily get malware or break your system.

A .c file is also not ran I think, I think it is installed on the system i.e. you are doing something completely wrong and followed some strange advice.

Instead,

1. Try if the USB cable is the only issue
2. Drivers are in the kernel, so you cannot just install them
3. Ask Linux Mint people how to do this, or Ubuntu or Debian people (the distros are related)

Every app with home or even host access can modify its own permissions.

This is why apps need to implement portals.

Dude XD

Yeah before you only had the “show cursor” kwin effect with 2 circles around it, needing a key combo. This one is way better

Its a feature. If you shake it, it enlarges.

It seems you shake your mouse a lot?

You can disable it in the settings

Lol

Yes but their RAM management (even though the desktop may use too much by default) seems way better.

I updated this project once. This is a very good start on what packages you need.

There are metapackages different for each distribution, like plasma-meta on Arch or plasma-workspace on Fedora.

This may be too bloated, but leaving out some core components (like infocenter or display) may result in random Systemsettings pages missing.

Also on Fedora, the “Netinstall” “minimal” variant is impossible to include wireless packages (“hardware support” group) so it is easier to start from a normal KDE install and just remove things you dont need.

Some things are also settings like balooctl disable && balooctl purge

This is not about customizing. What app do you use for editing images, or dont you do this at all?

On GNOME either using Gwenview (KDE) or GIMP, Krita, Kolourpaint, Pinta would work. Which are all very big programs.

Try KDE Plasma, you can strip out a ton of it, for example XOrg entirely, baloo, animations, etc.

I think XFCE has way more themes etc. Both are extremely themable though.

No, I understand your points. I may think you need to specify what you mean by “customizable”. A lot of stuff users normally do, like theming, installing random stuff etc, works. You can layer, build your own image etc.

But this is not the point as OP was frustrated about having an OS that even though promising to be reliable still breaks.

And whining about “oh I cant tweak it” is just not at the correct place there.

But of course my answers were kinda harsh, sorry for that. But these issues are really nonissues if your priority is having a working system.

I mean, Github is literally the source of 2 operating systems I run. And most of my apps.

Ah okay but is that useful in many cases? Only when you are home.

Really?? This is crazy.

Afaik headscale is the selfhosted server. You can likely login however you want.

Static IPs are not a thing in most countries. You need an overlay network or dynamic DNS like NoIP.

Headscale is a downstream of tailscale, meaning it has a fraction of the features and is maintained by Tailscale employees.

But great for less trust.
