Mint used to be my go to recommendation, these days I might offer up Pop!_OS, its unfortunate name is the only reason I might not, but when I’ve used it, it was a really nice experience.

I still have a PS2…

Interesting, and weird.

Makes me think of the GTK…

Sorry, I was just making a stupid joke, I’ve always liked Amarok, every time it stalls, it gives me a sad.

Welp, just in time to get to KDE 6…

Whatever key you had before should work just fine.

If you want another key, I don’t have any recommendations, I don’t hate Windows 11 as far as the UI is concerned, and I’m not sure you stay any more private with Windows 10, just pick what you like.

I’m pretty sure I had to enable the screencast use flag to get it to work for me.

Do you have the screencast use flag set?

Your question is kind of confusing, KDE does not do anything specifically with Manjaro, I assume that Manjaro users have to wait for upstream (Arch BTW) to mark it as stable, so if you keep your eyes peeled for Arch releases of Plasma, I’m sure you’ll have an idea of a timeline.

From the US, agree here.

Install fish shell on all the things!

I also found this, which looks specifically able to do exactly what you want.

But there are some hoops to jump through and I haven’t tested it.

(Edit: I just wish Plasma’s key bindings worked, perhaps it’ll work again soon)

Maybe this?

Edit: I haven’t figured it out yet, so still a maybe.

This may sound convoluted, but you could create a custom command in Keyboard->Shortcuts (Add New -> Command or Script) that uses ydotool (uses a service) that is basically ydotool type "|>" and then create a shortcut of Ctrl+$ for it.

Edit: I just tried this, it seems like custom shortcuts aren’t working?

Sorry, may need to submit a bug report.

I’ve written some magic templates that I assume are not easy to read by those who don’t know.

But this is seemingly unmaintainable… terrifying… and kind of neat.

I love how you could literally be trying to give a company money and they still want more…

It’s mostly just package management, you can install as many DEs as you want on just about every distro.

You’re not stuck with whatever default DE any distro uses.

I’ve been using Gentoo since 2004, every now and then I pop a distro DVD ISO into a VM to see what all the hubbub is about, but I doubt I’ll ever switch to another distro unless Gentoo dies.

My point is, sans diatribe, pop a distro ISO into a VM and see if it even seems like something you’d like.

You don’t have to do any more than that, keep using what makes you happy.

My favorite part about GIMP is that after the thousands and thousands of hours people have spent developing it, it still can’t compete with software from the 1990s, that is to say, it’s complete shit, they should start from scratch at this point, perhaps aiming low like competing against 1990s MS Paint.

There’s no way they could compete with MS Paint today >_>
