No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Four the overviews of all the Latest ndows, what I like to do is use the cornor hotspot feature, so I just fling the mouse to the bottom corner to open the overview of all the windows (it's in the settings, you can customise what each of the corners do!)
Nice that you got the numberpad thing working! I might need to try that soon
I really had to go digging for that Howdy fork, once I get back to my laptop I will let you know the link for reference
Hopefully you will eventually join the penguin side!
edit: I found the Howdy fork link! It's by user "starfish" and bundles the dlib dependency with it https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/starfish/howdy-beta/
Then if you want to use Howdy for login, sudo, etc., you just have to change the corresponding pam files
Thank you so very much for sharing this specific Howdy fork that worked for you! When I do eventually make the Linux switch I am going to try and get this going, and I'll share if I figure out anything specific to running Linux on our laptop. Until then I am playing around with Linux on an older device which I don't really mind having break to see what works for me. I guess the orange indicator light for the microphone kill switch for you worked for you and not for me because perhaps there was some update not reflected on the Fedora download I used to boot from the USB. That gives hope that perhaps the camera kill switch might work in the future too with some kernel update. Anyway, amazing and lucky that our laptop model works so well with Linux as is! I think your use of the corner hotspot feature to get to the hotspot feature is better than the four-finger gesture for KDE. I still find a three-finger gesture is preferable for trackpad navigation (trackpad usability being the original subject or discussion). I found two Gnome extensions called "Copyous" and "Tiling Assistent" which solved the two headaches where KDE seemed better to me. I think that Gnome's gesture swiping into an overview of everything is even better than Windows because it lets you raise the windows up just a little bit to take a peek at what's going on. I also really like having the time top and center all the time too.
While I was using GNOME (with Fedora Workstation), the three finger gesture worked for me out of the box and was quite nice indeed. I switched to KDE for better customisability, but if you prefer the padded libadwaita aesthetic of GNOME, it's also a great choice! They're both much better than Windows 11 in my opinion...
