So I am ricing my first linux desktop, I want to blur the background of alacritty when I am using it Ive managed to make it transparent

Whenever I run any command line tools without sudo, they take the settings as in ~/.config and work fine. But whenever I run the same CLI tools with same parameters but with sudo, it falls back to default setting. How can I make this behavior consistent?

So Ive been using linux for a long time and mostly with gnome. I know about window managers and how using them will reduce the memory usage by system a lot because they are less bloated etc. I want to try a window manager on my nixos machine - this will be my first time trying one, I have good knowledge in programming so technical stuff wont bother me that much. Which window manager do you suggest? Customization is my priority.

You can see VM specs at start, the error loop starts at last 20 seconds of the video...

I used the iso given here https://system76.com/cosmic/ (AMD/Intel) one.

I am booting for the first time

I am seeing a lot of local communities in the search tab which are recently created and have 0 post but 36 subscribers. Same happened with my !thefinals@lemm.ee community. Are these bots?

X is also doing the same thing: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/20/x-is-rolling-out-a-dedicated-vertical-video-feed-for-us-users/
