Although I am no fun of Cinnamon, this is one of the best DE customizations Live seen. Congratulations

I wanted something over the top and colorful, the icons did the job.

I use gTile. Use with caution though, I think it broke my setup and I logged into a blank purple screen.

Indeed! Had to restore to defaults after I rebooted because gnome logged me in a blank purple screen. :D

Haha, I have never seen garuda before. :D

A combination of these as well as cultural trends. Most of our behavior is dictated by the social norms we encounter daily, it makes sense that the same holds true for the way we sound.

Firefox has been as fast as chrome on most websites for some years now. Chrome was quick a decade ago, not anymore...

Thanks! Will check.

Looks good. I would like to test cosmic whenever I have the time.

Try Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. One of the best books I've ever read and is more or less what you are describing.

I read Solaris recently and was genuinely blown away. Anything from Ursala le Guin is also an excellent choice although I would suggest "the Dispossessed".

The EU is rapidly becoming a neoliberal hellehole resembling the US. I no longer have any hope for existing institutions resisting corporate encroachment. Best that can be done is the support of initiatives like the fediverse and foss in general but if the current trend continues even that is in a precarious position.
