In my experience: As far as you can get with any other distro. What do you think Arch requires a terminal for? Genuine question.

Perhaps Equalizer APO might be what you're looking for. Served me well when I still used Windows. IIRC it's a bit more advanced, so not as "easy" as EasyEffects, but a great tool nonetheless.

The same behaviour was shown towards Russian athletes with regards to the invasion of Ukraine. Judging by your logic that would be, idk, anti-orthodox? Russophobic? It's symbolic and has nothing to do with the their opinion of the people they are competing against. It's not antisemitism, plain and simple.

The Internet is international, especially so if you share a native language like the UK and the USA do. My native language isn't English, but even I got into their politics, or rather culture wars. And girls take part in that shit too. Mostly focused on different topics, but still.

One of the most prominent figure in the anti-trans movement is J. K. Rowling, who is in fact a woman and from the UK, so that kinda disproves your points. Not to mention that she is an idol for a lot of younger people, I don't think I need to mention why.

Oh and by the way, your insults are a little embarrassing, especially when your arguments are just blatantly false.

No, they didn't get their transphobic rhetoric from "old ass conservatives", because they aren't all old. You also don't have to "hang around old racist conservatives", as you implied in one of your other replies, because the Internet gives alt-right influencers a platform which even teenagers have access to. Many of those influencers aren't even in their 40s, Ben Shapiro or Andrew Tate for example, and they are just the tip of the iceberg. Of course the Internet isn't necessarily the cause for bullying, but there is a big leap from bullying to murdering someone, and being confronted with alt-right propaganda on perhaps a daily basis does change you and your views on certain minorities or communities, especially as a teenager. And I know that for a fact, because I was part of that shithole for some time during my teenage years. Someone who is more susceptible to that rhetoric could very well be pushed over the edge by that. Intolerance isn't a thing that just comes naturally, it's driven by the environment you grow up in or that you surround yourself with, be it in the real world or on the Internet. Nazis didn't naturally think that it would be okay to just kill certain minorities, it was years of propaganda that altered their views to somehow justify that thinking, even from a young age in the Hitlerjugend, and it clearly worked. It's the same shit all over again, just less organised. Why else do you think they specifically targeted a trans* person? And why else would they be so extreme to even kill her?

It is EXACTLY because of conservatives.

I don't think this is a common use case for most people, but I can see how that might come in handy for some, so you've got some good points.

If you're talking about physical buttons, please no. Gesture navigation is an incredibly useful feature for those with short fingers like myself, who have problems with reaching the "Recents" button without weirdly tilting the phone and then stretching their thumb to the point that it gets painful over time. And while it's technically possible to use gesture navigation on phones with physical buttons, it would definitely be weird. Not to mention that it's also wasted space, because physical buttons obviously can't just disappear when needed like on-screen buttons do, so you can have a bigger and more efficiently used screen. There are a lot of things that are dumb to remove from phones, pyhsical navigation buttons, in my opinion at least, are not one of them. I can't even think of an advantage physical buttons would have over on-screen buttons.

If you meant that you want to keep the option for on-screen button navigation, I'm all for it. Can't hurt to have more options :)

It's available in other regions as well.

  1. Select "Yes", even if you aren't from the US.
  2. Open the menu on the top right and select your region the bottom.
  3. Profit.

Super simple and intuitive. /s

Top left looks best as a default wallpaper in my opinion. Nice mix of colours, not too bright or too dark, and generally seems appealing while not being too distracting.

Me burning the bible, Quran, Tanakh, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and whatever else there exists to burn, doesn't infringe on your right to believe in it. Freedom of belief doesn't mean it can't be criticised or protested.
