That's a really cool feature

I hope you're right

The fonts are nice but I absolutely hate the "copilot voice" text moving around idea, it's absolutely terrible to read.

Since GNOME disabled desktop icons years ago, I liked it so much that I disable them in every OS I use, even on Windows.

They are just ugly and make the whole system feel messy. I do t need that. I can use the search or a favourites thing in a hidden drawer like the start menu or the gnome dock.

That sounds amazing thanks, I've bookmarked the page and will check back again next month 😁 I guess I can use the time to sharpen my skills :😆

Edit: is there a way I can contribute to the prize pool even if I don't take part in the tournament this time?

I'm originally from Brazil but I've been living in Poland for the past decade so I had the Polish app setup with Android covid notifications. The neat thing is that it doesn't matter as they all talk together due to how the protocol works.

I got a few notifications in Poland, and I also did travel to Brazil, and got notifications there too.

The app only works if enough people are in though, so if nobody uses then it won't work. Depends on the area, people, way of thinking.

And for Slack/Discord they'd have Wayland support if they didnt use ancient Electron versions.

When tech debt finally catches up as a bug...

The only thing keeping me on X11 at this point is Slack screen share feature. It doesn't work on Wayland to share the entire screen (specific apps do) and it is entirely Slacks fault here.

X11 also has slightly higher FPS for gaming but not much.

Not sure if arch is too different, but Linux is Linux. I suggest you get any live distro you can such as Ubuntu or fedora on a live usb stick and boot into it, once in it run gparted (or first install it if not available) and simply resize your partitions around as in to allocate some space from your home partition to your root partition. Should be a fairly simple operation especially with an easy and intuitive GUI such as gparted.

Thanks for all your comments, a lot of interesting things here.

I went with BtrFS with Timeshift. Seems to have improved in terms of performance a lot that I barely noticed any difference compared to the previous installation with Ext4, if any at all.

Unfortunately the current Ubuntu 23.10 installer doesn't properly set btrfs subvolumes correctly for @ and @home and instead instead just throws the entire OS at the root of the FS, making it incompatible with Timeshift and causing FS snapshots to live in the Linux directories, which in turn would cause future snapshots to contain snapshots, not great...

Fortunately migrating to a subvolume layout is possible although it was quite painful following this outdated and a bit not well written post https://www.reddit.com/r/btrfs/s/qWi84tGJam

After successfully installing the system and setting up btrfs layouts and Timeshift, I created the first system snapshot and I feel extremely confident about this solid system.

Thanks again for sharing your experience!

Thank you for that, I also recently posted asking for help with this matter a couple days ago. I'm back to Linux after about 5 years break and initially I thought it was only Fedora, but then I changed to openSUSE Tumbleweed and then again to Ubuntu, and all of them presented the same issue, so it really was clear it was a bigger issue than a single distro. Nonetheless turning off 2FA is a workaround only and some accounts like work account won't allow turning it off at all, so definitely this is something the GNOME team should be prioritizing to fix soon.
