I recommend btops with bspwm for workspace naming.
Plasma 6 is coming out soon. Not sure if it addressed any of your issues though.
It needs an option to turn off the commentary. I can’t stand it.
My hacky way was to make sure group ID on each computer matches and have the directory writable by the group. I also make sure user ID is different so I can identify who created it. It was easy for me because I only have to worry about 2 computers plus my NAS.
I add them to fstab so it shows up in Thunar/Dolphin unmounted. Then I believe I used to just run mount path
in the terminal.
Urxvt seemed to be the fastest of them all. Definitely my favourite.
Honestly, in that case, I can’t recommend Arch to those users. Nothing wrong with Ubuntu for beginners and there’s so much documentation.
It’s really not that hard to follow the wiki to install Arch. I feel like there’s a lot of maintaining to do when using Arch, so you might as well get used to the terminal. It wasn’t really an issue when I was using it daily, but has become a chore now that I boot up my laptop once or twice a month.
Funnily enough, I’m always on my Steam Deck now and that is based on Arch, too.
USB Oval like what it is now.
