RLFontan
I personally haven't noticed any difference, but thank you for pointing out a potential downfall of doing this.

      Some great things here! As a note, the black input boxes in Firefox while using a dark theme doesn't just apply to KDE, it's whatever your GTK theme is in any desktop environment, long as it's dark.

      This is what the forum will eventually need more of. Good information is currency--it frees a person. Lots of stuff I wish I'd saved from phbb in your dispatch. Thanks for the hard work on this. Valuable stuff here for vet, newbie, or basic knucklehead like me.

        Yeah, i have seem recently this video:

        And the guy actually like composition pipeline for gaming... maybe it depends on how you use it. But my guess is that this resource on GNOME based is bad for gaming.

            RLFontan Anything except i3 without a compositor is bad for gaming /s

                I have been using zsh with oh my zsh for a while now and I must say that I do like all the visual stuff along with git integration, but I find it incredibly slow when compared to Bash. I went back to Bash a couple days ago becuase I couldn't bother waiting half a second for the command prompt to pop up 🙁

                  Jacalz Yeah I can't stand waiting for zsh to load, bash works just as well with the right aliases.

                    If you want something similar to what oh-my-zsh provides but for bash, check out bash-it.

                    https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it

                    Bash-it is a collection of community Bash commands and scripts for Bash 3.2+. (And a shameless ripoff of oh-my-zsh 😃)

                    Includes autocompletion, themes, aliases, custom functions, a few stolen pieces from Steve Losh, and more.

                    Bash-it provides a solid framework for using, developing and maintaining shell scripts and custom commands for your daily work. If you're using the Bourne Again Shell (Bash) on a regular basis and have been looking for an easy way on how to keep all of these nice little scripts and aliases under control, then Bash-it is for you! Stop polluting your /bin directory and your .bashrc file, fork/clone Bash-it and start hacking away.

                    Can't say I have noticed any waiting for zsh to load. It's instantaneous for me shrugs

                    Junglist The resampling is already set to a better algorithm than the pulseaudio default (which apparently distros like Ubuntu still ship with). But if you like to tinker even more, then create a file /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and add the lines you like:

                    Best resample-methods:
                    resample-method = soxr-vhq or resample-method = speex-float-10

                    Avoid resampling altogether when possible
                    avoid-resampling = yes

                    24-bit audio ..
                    default-sample-format = float32le

                    .. or 32-bit audio
                    default-sample-format = s24le

                    Increase alternate sample rate to 96khz (if eg. you've got an audio interface that supports it). The system should choose the best suitable rate, so afaik you can leave default-sample-rate intact.
                    alternate-sample-rate = 96000

                    If you want to return to default setting, just wipe the line from the file, or remove the file altogether and it falls back to /usr/share/pulseaudio/daemon.conf

                        Harvey In KDE is a dark theme causing forms on websites using firefox to be dark?:
                        Create a new string pref in about:config (right click menu) named widget.content.gtk-theme-override and set the value to a installed light theme (e.g. Breeze), then restart Firefox.

                        Im having this problem on GNOME 🙁 i don't know how to do this you said.

                          25 days later

                          I just did a quick "Ctrl+F" to see if this had been added so sorry if I missed it.

                          I was having issues with screen tearing in a few apps and was looking for a solution to my problem and stumbled across this .

                          https://github.com/solus-project/linux-driver-management/issues/12

                          I run Solus Budgie on an older Dell XPS 14 laptop with Intel graphics so I used what was described by Liberodark on the bottom of the page with one addition. And it solved the issue for me. Maybe you can add it to your screen tearing section if you think it could be applicable to others.

                          sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

                          Put in file "20-intel.conf" :

                          Section "Device"
                          Identifier "Intel Graphics"
                          Driver "intel"
                          Option "DRI" "3" # DRI3 is now default
                          Option "AccelMethod" "sna" # default
                          Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" # fallback
                          EndSection

                            Junglist

                            I used this guide.

                            If you it out; I rarely ever use headphones so if there no difference i'm sorry however, I feel there is one. Also if I remember correctly in Solus this...

                            $ vim /etc/asound.conf

                            Is not the correct location for that file. Search for it in you file manager on the system drive to get the correct location.

                                SirOaken It does pretty much what I described there [deleted]

                                Also if I remember correctly in Solus this /etc/asound.conf is not the correct location for that file.

                                It might be, it's just not there by default since Solus is stateless. Not entirely sure about that, though.

                                      [deleted] Oh, there's actually a typo. 24-bit is s24le and 32-bit is float32le
