You didn't actually say whether all/any of these movies appealed to you, though. Did you like The Odyssey? Also, you really should have checked out Obsession. That movie is way too good to reduce to just a home theater viewing.

    Tesseract seems to be some kind of platform for Lemmy; I'm not sure if it's an Android app or just a web app. The dev has enacted a shadowban list to try to reduce calls for violence, homophobia, xenophobia, etc. I don't seem to be on the most, and I had either way never heard of Tesseract before. I personally use Blorp to surf Lemmy.

    1. I'm seeing just one massive downside to Plank Reloaded, which is that I'm finding myself apparently having been ridiculously dependent on pressing Super+# all these years in Windows to open apps in the dock... to which Plank Reloaded doesn't react at all; it seems to require a Grouped Window List with apps pinned in the same order. PR also doesn't respond to Cinnamon's Keyboard menu's Global hotkey to show the order of apps, which seems to only affect Grouped Window List. Isn't the whole point of Plank Reloaded to replace a Grouped Window List? Would I have to forgo my beloved Super+# and just type everything via the menu if I wanna stick to PR without a GWL? Help! Also, how do you customize PR more, anyway? I've seen some pretty crazy things from people online (purportedly, unless it was other software at work) and learned to Ctrl+right-click it but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the icons, or are those managed elsewhere? EDIT: Hmm... wow, there are way more docks out there than I realized, duh. Maybe I'll just ditch PR for one of these... but the Super+# shortcut loss remains a bit painful... Does anyone already happen to know if any dock is compatible with this shortcut?

    2. Redditors were saying to "Either use 'Blur Cinnamon' or Transparent panels,' but not both" for further customizing via extensions, due to wasted-memory concerns. The problem is that I can't seem to get Blur Cinnamon alone to remove panels' background color and seamlessly blend them into the wallpaper. Blur is pretty tricky for me to figure out.

    3. Lastly, are there any Conky configs that show space on external drives, or would anyone know how to modify any to do so?

    Any light shed on any of these matters would be much appreciated.

     

    PeppermintOS? I'm trying to prepare an ancient Chromebook C202S for Linux and have had some ideas from antiX to MXLinux and Loc-OS, but it seems that PeppermintOS may be among the best choices.

    The tech level of this Chromebook's end user is unlikely to work well with Arch + BSPWM, which was recommended to me by someone else.

     

    So I just discovered the built-in TV/movie watcher, but when I went to the USA's Free-TV section to just try to pull up ABC News, etc., it gave me an endlessly spinning wheel.

    When I tried to browse for Pluto movies, it just kept looping this loading screen with the same, few-seconds-long music with the Pluto planet and ring-shaped text rotating around it. It also showed this even when I tried to watch BBC Home in the TV section...

    The articles I found online like https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-watch-live-tv-on-the-linux-desktop-with-hypnotix/ and https://itsfoss.com/hypnotix-iptv-app/ just don't seem to address the issues I'm having, as if they don't exist at all. Does this app just no longer work or something?

    The first link in this comment makes Blorp go to a broken-link screen that Android can't back out of, requiring Blorp to be closed from Android's multitask button to be able to be usable again. (I wonder if this is tied to the fact that you can't just back out of Blorp all the way to the home screen; you must press the home button, which I greatly dislike...)

    It would be nice to be able to press-hold on links to see where they go, share, or copy them instead of having to open them. In fact, Summit, if I recall correctly, even generates live a thumbnail image preview of the destination link before you open it!
