Linux is colorful

Very Interesting and pretty setup, although I never understood why people like to waste precious vertical space by having bars on the bottom and top of the screen 🤔

Also I didn't know KDE has global menu applet, makes me wonder if I can setup it to look like Ubuntu looked back in the old days (does it still have global menus anyway, or just use GNOME control thingies?)

I got a Framework, and the 16:10 aspect ratio allows for the two bars without messing up most applications as they're mostly geared toward 16:9. Full screen games go over both bars. It's nice.
App panel automatically hide itself when a window on top of it, I think kde global menu only work with qt apps (atleast on Wayland for now I think it also work with GTK on X11)
Vertical bars are great but they are terrible for displaying text, either the bar has to be huge or the bar's width readjusts or text and icons get easily misaligned when displaying dynamic stuff. Personally my horizontal bar is now 70% occupied and I have a keybind that toggles its hidden state.
Side bar is the way.
- Yeah, I also prefer having a single side bar on the screen, but I recently found out that on small screens (like on a laptop) the side bar doesn't allow a lot of applications to be visible, so in this scenario I'd rather have it on the bottom.

What is kwin_wayland_wr? Also do you really have 6 GiB RAM installed? If not you may be able to reclaim some of it via UEFI if the RAM is assigned to iGPU.

I have 8gb and I assigned 2gb to igpu because I already have 8gb of zram, I'm not sure what difference it would make tho
- As I found out recently myself, you should almost always set the minimum amount of reserved memory for the iGPU on modern hardware. The reserved memory is just that— reserved. The kernel still dynamically allocates memory for GPU usage as needed on iGPUs.

Neat. What's your bar setup?

Menu bar? It's just normal KDE applications menu bar
- The top bar I mean. That's KDE's built-in bar? Just styled?

Linux is pretty green at least

Well I can argue with that because Linux systems usually consume more energy than identical systems with other operating systems though they are probably less green due to having a lot of cloud and ad related tech built in.

  Is this true?
- That's not ture atleast on my system, I played modded Minecraft for 4 hours on performance mode and I still have 15% to spare, I also watch BCS for an season and it's only drain 60% on power saving mode

An apt post title, lovely use of color!

Thanks you :D
- You're very welcome! ☺️

less, git, etc should default to color mode on.

I'm new to Linux and I don't know any of these, can you explain a bit more?
- Sure. git is a command used for programming, much more likely in the future you will use less, which allows you to view/scroll through/paginate text files.
  
  To be honest, the intro of manual pages are really good at explaining commands: man less

Nice hostname

Haha thanks, took me awhile to come up with that name
