I'll just link another user's response to a similar question, as I don't think I could ever say it better myself: https://corndog.social/comment/3216441

It's hard. If you want to play Java edition, there's a few. If you want to go Bedrock, you're essentially stuck on older versions, unless you want to cough up £7 for Minecraft to Google Play. Let me explain:
There are Java launchers and they work. Typically, you'll want ones that are distributed as a jar file. SKLauncher was pretty good last I tried it. Link: https://skmedix.pl
For Bedrock, you have 3 options: The Bedrock Launcher, which requires you to own the game on Google Play, the Other Bedrock Launcher which also works with Google Play BUT also allows you to use an x86 apk for Minecraft (the xbox versions and most of the ones you find online simply will not work, unless you want to play 1.15, which IIRC is the latest you can find an apk for (and finding any x86 apk that works is nearly impossible in itself)). And your third option is an emulator like Waydroid but in my experience they all suck, so....
The TLDR is: For Java they exist and are good. Find ones in a jar file, like SKLauncher, which I'd recommend as it worked when I used it a few months back
For Bedrock, just succumb and buy it from Google Play, then log into that google account in the launcher and enjoy.
The other options for Bedrock (using Waydroid, or finding an old x86 apk and using it with the other Bedrock Launcher) both just suck.
Good to hear that they're better at power efficiency. What's potentially concerning however, is whether that would lead to manufacturers just using smaller batteries. I want my 80 or 99 Wh battery for the longest battery life! I'll heed your advice and wait to see where things go.
How slow, because I neved noticed
Trust me, it's noticeable. Or at least it was for me. Numbers wise, it doesn't sound like much, but the difference between 0.05s and 0.5s (which are roughly the times I was experiencing) is very noticeable, at least for me. One is done before you've even fully lifted the finger off the key, while with the other you're preparing to press (or maybe you're already pressing pressing) the next key, by the time you see a reaction.
Your mileage may vary.
Well, I certainly agree that Markdown is a lot more popular. I just wanted to hear your opinion on it.
Why not just use org mode if you're doing literate programming? Have you considered it?
omz is bloat and slows fown your shell a lot. Just do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21_WkzBErQk
And I'd recommend starship for a custom prompt, it's really good: https://starship.rs

I think you can run paru without sudo and it should still do privilege escalation no problem
It's been abandoned btw. People recommend to switch to alternatives. Fastfetch and hyfetch seem to be the best ones rn.
Though I can't confirm as I wrote my own minimal fetch
Isn't that what Explicit Sync was trying to solve? Check your Nvidia driver version, as well as your KDE Plasma version and see if they both support Explicit Sync.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Snap slowdowns have been supposedly fixed, but the only snap that updated their packaging to apply the fix was Mozilla's Firefox (from what I've heard).
And there is a way to create a custom store other than Canonical's (but it's obscure and hidden, so I bet nobody would bother).
And snaps have better support for cli programs.
If snaps were as good as flatpaks (which I don't think they are yet), and they were not made by Canonical (got them some extra bad rep), they could have been the dominant packaging platform. The issue is that their reputation precedes them. I don't think Canonical can ever fix that.
TLDR: Snaps are not as bad as people make them out to be (anymore). It's just that their reputation precedes them, and some of the solutions are there but are not in use.
Good idea, but I couldn't find it
