nooooo stop making me want to switch to linus because they have really cool themes D; haha jk, but i just looked around the themes they offer and there are many with such a cool and retrovibe, i love it

@kuroi yeah the themes are cool. it's unfortunate that the retro ones kinda get buried in the results by the flat "modern" ones & sometimes gtk3 themes don't look exactly like the image on xfce. but it's still great that linux has software for such detailed themes by default

i figured out a trick so that images from discord don't save as webp. go to photopea in another tab, copy paste the image link into "open with url", then "export" the file as either a png or a jpg. you're welcome

i actually just change the file format on my own when saving the image; select from the file type dropdown “all file types” and add “.jpg” or “.png” or “.gif” to the end of the file name ☺️

I've found that opening Discord images in a new tab returns them to their native file format. I also have a browser extension that converts WEBPs which I use if that doesn't work.

(I do use Discord for web, though. I'm not sure if either of those would work for the desktop app.)

if you use multiple isos to install different stuff, ventoy is really convenient ! you install it onto a flash drive and then all you need to do is drag and drop isos, then you just select the one to boot into from a menu! (it actually is rly convenient even if you dont use multiple oses bc you can put diagnostic stuff on there like memtest as well)

thanks to you both but @draggian i already used balena. it's just that my iso file got corrupted while downloading

badgraph1csghost 10 months ago

if it got corrupted, try downloading it from a different mirror, then check the SHA-256 hash. if it corrupts again, the hash will corrupt too. (you can check hashes manually with 7-Zip if you don't want to download more software)

letslearntogether 10 months ago

I second the suggestion of checking the hash, especially when using Mint. It is a popular distro, so hacked copies have been passed around before. https://www.zdnet.com/article/hacker-hundreds-were-tricked-into-installing-linux-mint-backdoor/

you can test out kubuntu in a virtual machine with VirtualBox. Can give u a chance to try out the desktop environment without wiping ur PC again :)
