    rare blur setup that both looks good and practical without being super tacky. What is the blur algo?

          blur {
              enabled      = true
              size         = 5   # 3 (def)
              passes       = 3   # 1 (def)
              noise        = 0.2 # 0.1 is good aswell
              popups       = true
          }

    Woah, this is really nice and cool. Was just browsing all on Lemmy and it showed up. I haven’t taken a dive into Linux, but I have dipped my toes in the last two decades, and dang it, I want to try it now.

    The simplistic elegance that a nice theme can offer like this gives me peace and calm, and makes me feel welcome. Linux can be so intimidating, and many themes are harsh, this just makes the whole system seem approachable and friendly.

    Looks fantastic, and saved for my future self!

        So I just built myself a new computer, and I am running Nobara. So far, so good! I was wondering, how do I enable that biscuit theme? It looks like that Hyprland thing does not work for me. Sorry I am terribly a noob at Linux.

          you need to either edit configuration files (these are mostly inside the .config/ directory, which is inside your profile (home) directory) or use graphical applications such as Gnome Tweaks for tweaking GTK themes and stuff

          btw, you should probably ask in one of the Linux-related communities ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected] as examples) and don’t take my word for this!!! i’m very dumb! (if you avoid this warning i will be forced to reply the best i possibly can)

    I don’t like light themes because they can be too bright, even on lower brightness but this… I kinda like it. In fact, it reminds me of this Brodie Robertson video on Light Themes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95dYgp3f-7w (I’m counting on the Piped bot to offer a more private way of playing the video)

    TLDW: Modern Light themes are bad because they’re blinding and too bright. A good light theme will not be just white but something that isn’t as bright while still looking good and not blinding you.
