Ah ok that makes sense. I believe plasma does HDR out of the box too, amongst other cool things
What’s wrong with Cinnamon? I use it because we share a computer and it was the closest thing to Windows look-wise for non-linuxy family members. Interested to hear what advantages plasma has though!

Linux@lemmy.ml•How to have external/internal HDD spin down when not in use ?
1·4 months agohttps://github.com/adelolmo/hd-idle
I use hd-idle for my home server. As mentioned elsewhere, you do have to be careful spinning up/down disks frequently. If you’re using a Linux Mint, that tells me this is a desktop, so you probably shouldn’t do it at all. My server is idle for hours at a time though, so it makes sense in this case. I believe hd-idle defaults to spinning down after ten minutes of idle time.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Which distro is closest to 'GUI/UX for everything, absolutely no CLI' approach like Windows or Mac + and just works (ie passes LTT Linux test)
5·6 months agoLinux Mint comes closest ime, but it really depends what you want to do. You should ask yourself this question: am I a power user? If the answer is ‘no’, and you just need to do basic media/productivity stuff, you’re going to have a frictionless experience with most popular Linux distros. If the answer is ‘yes, but I don’t want to learn another operating system’ then you should stick with what you know.

Tbf I feel like we’re reaching a point now where you do have to look at reality and accept it just isn’t happening. Consider the spiralling budgets and schedules of recent nuclear build outs and compare to what’s been happening in the renewables/batteries space.
To be as generous as possible, maybe, with absolutely perfect project management, nuclear could compete. Maybe. But we just don’t have that. This is capitalism, and there is no way to make nuclear viable under this system.
