I'm struggling to replicate some window behavior I'm used to (from Windows) on a new install. Does anyone have any insight?

My goal is to play a game full screen but still be able to pin windows above it.

If a game is set to Full Screen, "Keep Above Others" doesn't work.

If I run a game Full Screen (Windowed), it keeps the taskbar visible and gives me cropped resolution options.

The only way I've found that works is manually configuring each window property to turn off the title bar, set a fixed position, and a minimum resolution. And also setting the taskbar to Auto Hide.

I don't want to manually configure every game (which often requires restarting it multiple times). I don't want my taskbar to Auto Hide. And I want it to be hidden until I alt+tab or press the start key.

Is this possible?

Background: Jellyfin app on a Roku Ultra, all codecs and episode lengths are affected

Not a significant issue by any means but it happens every time and I don't know why.

Sunday night I watched Episode 9 of a show then went to bed. Last night, I scrolled to Next Up and selected episode 10. Jellyfin then asked me if I wanted to start at the beginning or resume from 12:42. I THINK the time it gives us 50% through a show (I've gotten used to ignoring it)

I have no other players to test but I did confirm it happens on all file types and run times. I did NOT test if it's accurate when I do stop an episode half way, through.

Is this a Roku-exclusive problem? Is there a solution either way?

Inspired by the chocolate fruit post. I like brownies and I like most varieties of nuts and legumes but they're ruined when combined

I don't want some soft rocks in my smooth brownie. The chocolate flavor is so strong, you can't even really taste them. It just adds a bad mouth feel.

I do not understand why this is popular. Get em out of there!!

This won't be interesting for any longtime user but maybe it'll give someone on the fence the courage to switch. This post includes every problem I ran into and how I solved it

I settled on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed but I downloaded a couple more distros and loaded them into a Ventoy USB stick.

Good thing I did because despite partitioning the drive itself, the opensuse installer kept saying it said was out of space and no fix I found worked. So I booted up TempleOS for advice and the good lord whispered through my speakers, "try the Fedora KDE iso..."

The Fedora live environment booted right away. And unlike OpenSUSE, it recognized my 32:9 resolution so it looked good, too. I clicked through the installer and it rebooted. I was up and running in about 5 minutes.

The "app store" had a Steam and Discord flatpak so I could brag about my superior OS to my friends immediately. ~~Do not install Steam this way, though (see below)~~ EDIT: This apparently wasn't a mistake, see viktorz's comment below

The biggest problem I faced was with my audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett 18i8) which was recognized but hardware muted. Had to install alsa-scarlett-gui to unmute them....this was admittedly a huge pain in the ass but it's a niche problem and it was solved.

The best biggest problem was the video drivers. My resolution maxed out at 32:9 1080@119.97hz and the screen would not wake from sleep. I ran two commands to download and install the Nvidia drivers and it worked - 1440&240hz with HDR and it wakes properly

A minor problem I ran into was Steam not creating shortcuts for games. I learned that this was because the flatpak version is siloed. Installing it "normally" solved this problem. I had already downloaded some games but was able to move them from the original folder in /var to the new one in /home. EDIT: In the comments, viktorz said a symlink would have accomplished the same thing. See what he wrote for more info

Another minor "problem" (I was prepared to lose the functionality) was my crappy Corsair mouse/keyboard. I mainly wanted to disable the default RGB rainbow but was thrilled to find CKB-Next which allowed me to change the colors and map the extra keys on my keyboard.

Anyway, I don't know why I wrote all this. I guess I was just surprised to find how easy it was and wanted to share. I'm sure I'll run into some headaches once I try to actually use the computer for stuff but for now, I'm quite happy with the experience.

Seems like I'm just zooming in the thumbnail when I click an image

I have no idea where to put it but I couldn't say no

This happened some time last year, too, and it resolved on its own.

I get the numbers on the bell icon when I get a reply but my inbox brings up a blank page (both Unread and All). Additionally, my profile gets updated with my comments but NOT the scores/replies....so I have to click on each comment individually to see where someone replied.

Website works fine, seems to be an app thing

I've found that I am. I sometimes write a reply, see that it was posted by an RSS bot, and delete the draft. OP doesn't exist so what's the point?

I've been taking my plants to the kitchen to water/drain 1-2 pots at a time but....I may or may not have purchased 10 more plants yesterday and that's a lot of back and forth. They're mostly in my foyer which is a half level down.

I've been thinking about getting something I can keep in the garage (next to the foyer) and quickly set up/disassemble like this:

Anyone have any other suggestions or ideas?

Her arrangement of Pink Pony Club got recommended to me and while it was amazing, too, this is the one I keep coming back to.

Not just a cover, it's an original arrangement and performance of a brass ensemble all played by the same person. Pretty cool.
