No mention of xsnow? I’m getting old hehe

I had the same issue and used MenuLibre to hide the entire lsp directory.

I’m afraid I can’t answer that, It’s been quite a while. I think qutebrowser is the one that ships with it?

Puppy Linux is what I shove on old Atom netbooks

1&2 - Can be solved by your DE and disabling notifications altogether with a toggle. XFCE4 panel has a notifications plugin that I have switched to DND when installing the system and haven’t turned it off since. It’s been 3 years :)
3- I can’t comment on as I use #4. When it works, it works. When a bad update is pushed, it really doesn’t work
4 - Garuda

edit: WM -> DE

Also, is there a better ways to swtich tabs rather than press on the icon or Alt+Tab?

I can’t comment specifically on --drop-down as those annoy the heck out of me. If you don’t mind a bit more of a manual approach to window switching without fancy bells and whistles, rofi can do that for you with rofi -show window and typing a few letters gets me there faster than looking for a snapshot of a window or an icon.

I use shift+super or ctrl+super as a modifier for shortcuts. Most of my things ignore when the super is also pressed. I also removed all of the shortcuts from XFCE’s keyboard settings so only mine are there.

EDIT: I also want to say I use a Razer Naga X mouse, and have access to a full numpad with my thumb.

I second this. Learning how to maintain your own PKGBUILD will save you a ton of headache in the long run, especially if you use something that locks you out until you update (like Discord, those bastards)

Deluge has sequential download.

Check 3/4 of them and you can use whatever player you want.

What about Raven Reader? It’s Electron, yet it didn’t feel like an Electron app. I used it before switching to Newsflash. My only reason for switching was that Raven didn’t work well with FreshRSS.
