I'm a GNOME user and extensions are pretty easy to install. I use the wiggly extension for the mouse shake to grow thing, but unfortunately it has a maximum size of 256 which is plenty big enough to find it but you can't shake it forever until it grows bigger than the screen. GNOME 0 KDE 1 ๐ฅฒ

You might have been expecting the response you got here, or you might not have. I know I learnt more about nazi/hate speech dogwhistles in my first few weeks as a Lemmy admin than I had learnt in all my life up to that point ๐ .
I also know in those early days there were people worried my instance was a "free speech" instance because I wanted open conversations instead of bans. Mostly I think I didn't appreciate how big of a problem it was, and for sure I had people registered on my instance expecting it was a "free speech" instance. There are people out there looking for a place to spout their hate and many think Lemmy is the place for it because it's advertised as censorship resistant.
Please know that there is a strong belief (among both nazis and anti-nazis) that indicating a place as being able to speak your mind is a dog whistle for allowing hate speech. Over time if you find you aren't attracting the right kind of members, you may need to tweak your wording. But also please know that the idea of supporting people to be better community members instead of flat out banning people does work for many members, because many people just don't realise that what they are saying is harmful. Some people will be operating in bad faith though, and it's typically the same small number of people that keep getting banned. Because you have open registrations, these users are more likely to come to your instance.
It's also important to understand that the Fediverse is full of users that have felt unsafe on mainstream social media. Your rules against hate speech need to be strictly enforced, of you'll find yourself isolated in the Fediverse as no one will want to federate with you.
You'll likely be able to find if on whatever store your distro comes with. There's also the third party launcher Lutris but I have found Heroic to be great. If you're playing games without a linux version, Heroic will help you install WINE versions as well, so you can play almost anything.
It's coming but I've used Heroic with GOG for years, it works great.
If you're using the lemmy website (as opposed to an app), then in the language list, hold Ctrl to select multiple languages. Make sure you select Undefined, most people don't set a language when posting so they may be set as Undefined.
New? Last time I moved house I just swapped the shower head from the old house with the one at the new house, no one is paying that much attention. Wife thought I was crazy but I have no regrets.
I have too (uBlock Origin)! On chrome as I'm not allowed Firefox. But when I flick through the chrome store, almost all extensions are blocked. It's like it was a deliberate decision to let us have it, which is considering the maturity of the organisation in other ways.
There isn't much from memory. It's a great way to support them, but in terms what you get from it I think it's basically just automatic cloud backups, access to cloud speech to text and text to speech, and if you need it, a URL to access your Home Assistant when you're away from home.
It's how the HA work is funded though, so I figure it's worth it for that.
Oh I'm using Home Assistant Cloud as I worked out day 1 there's no chance of it recognising my voice. I would like to switch to local processing when it gets good enough though.
Possibly related:
I also don't understand why every chat app needs 1GB of RAM to itself.
This morning my kid asked the voice assistant to "Turn off the computers in this house".
I heard it, thought well that's a strange request but seems harmless because how is home assistant gonna turn off computers.
Me a little while later, "why is shit broken? What's happening!"
Turns out dumb me had adguard exposed to the voice assistant, it switched off all the adguard settings including the DNS rewriting that is the cornerstone of many of my self-hosted services.
I've since revoked that access.

Yeah I tried KDE for a while, people talked about how customisable it is that you can do anything. But I never found a way to recreate that super key experience.
