Use gsettings:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita-dark' 

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'

Windows 2000 looked amazing.

What kind of problems did you have?

I hope that when my current laptop dies, a somewhat libre and linux-friendly alternative with an ARM chipset will be on the market.

I’ve only played the first few minutes of the first Half Life (I know, it’s on my list™). I had to turn off texture filtering immediately; the game looks terrible otherwise. Question: Why did games of this era (Morrowind also comes to mind) look this way, i.e. blurry?

You might not even have to log out: Just change the user in the terminal: su - user2

It’s cool to see Godot used for a serious project. The original was made using Java, if I recall correctly.

What’s my favourite terminal? The one that fits my desktop environment. When I used XFCE I used its terminal, when I used i3 I used kitty, and now I use blackbox on Gnome.

Ad 1: Try Krita instead of Gimp. I find its behaviour saner.

So, I’ve tried using Toolbox on my Debian machine. It works and it’s nice to have access to newer versions of the programming languages I use. But much like OP, I encountered a problem with VS Code in that the IDE cannot work with the compilers from my toolboxes. For example, Debian has Go 1.19 and Fedora (in a toolbox) has Go 1.21. In-between the versions a small change of the go.mod configuration file has happened, so VS Code which uses Go 1.19 cannot parse it.

Is there a way to solve this? OP’s way of solving this, i.e. installing the IDE in the container seems like a hack. I don’t want to manage 20 different instances of VS Code.

I just installed Konsole to try it out. CTRL + Arrows to jump between words works, but this also works in Blackbox and Gnome Terminal. :D

CTRL + SHIFT + Arrows for selecting words, SHIFT + Arrows for selecting characters, nor deleting selected text doesn’t work in Konsole, Blackbox, nor Gnome Terminal.

I generally agree with you.

The input works more like a normal text editor (including mouse support) and has in-built completions, syntax highlighting, and support for multiple-cursors.

If you actually want those features, that’s your shell’s job. Not your terminal emulator. And presumably if you need these fancy features you’ll just use a normal text editor to make a shell script.

I, personally, would like to see a terminal / shell / whatever with support of standard, modern text input: CTRL + Arrows to skip words, CTRL + SHIFT + Arrows to select whole words, deleting all of selected text etc. I find it baffling that the terminal – the main text input of my system – uses a different way of text input than any other text field.

So far, once.

1. download the Netinst ISO
2. install Debian without any GUI or “bloat”
3. ???
4. profit

how do I open doors that open the other way? how about locked doors?
