How did you get your fonts to look so crisp and clean? Mine look like ass on Ubuntu (1920x1080, sub-pixel AA, slight hinting).

Please can you tell me what you are using to achieve this look? Very nice desktop!

Cheers

Sure, why not :)

Grab this Gnome shell theme : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Elementary+Lion?content=151329

Then download the GTK3 theme mod which is linked a few posts below, on that same page. Copy them both into your home folder/.themes and use Advanced settings to apply the GTK3 theme + Gnome shell theme.

Done.

    • Universal USB Installer 2.0.3.6 by Razvan Serea The Universal USB Installer (UUI) is a powerful bootable USB software tool for creating USB boot drives from ISO files, perfect for installing Linux or Windows, running live systems, or building diagnostic toolkits. This versatile ISO-to-USB software makes it easy to boot from USB and create Live USBs for Linux distributions, Windows setup installers, antivirus tools, and system diagnostic utilities. Whether you need a multisystem Windows Media Creation Tool, a Live USB Linux installer, or an all-in-one PC diagnostic toolkit, UUI offers a reliable and flexible Linux and Windows bootable USB creator. Effortlessly carry your favorite portable operating systems and essential troubleshooting and diagnostic tools on a single flash drive or USB boot stick. Take your preferred Live Linux distributions, Windows installers, recovery software, backup utilities, and diagnostic tools with you, all bootable from a single USB drive. No more juggling multiple USB sticks or complicated bootloaders, UUI consolidates everything into one flexible, multiboot solution. Using this open source USB boot maker software is easy as 123. To create a Linux or Windows bootable USB drive, you simply select your target flash drive, choose your distribution from the list, browse to the ISO file (or choose to download the ISO), and then click Create. Once finished, you should have a ready to run Live USB containing the Live operating system, Windows installation media, or system diagnostics utility, or advanced system cleaner tool you previously selected. Universal USB Installer 2.0.3.6 fixes: Fixed volume label never being set after disk preparation. Fixed selected disk not being restored when returning to the drive selection page after preparation.

    • Browser vendors including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi have jointly written an open letter to Microsoft saying enough is enough regarding Edge being pushed on Windows users without consent. Microsoft makes it difficult to change the default browser, promotes Edge throughout Windows 11, and has made the uninstall process unnecessarily complicated compared to other apps. Does anyone have more details on what exactly the open letter demands and whether any regulatory action is being considered? Also curious whether this could lead to antitrust investigations similar to what happened with Internet Explorer back in the day. Would love to hear from anyone following this closely.
    • Amen, they are a shady company... they modify my site to remove inline ads and then cry about subscribing to their services, a few things they "bravely" did in recent years: In 2020, Brave was caught automatically appending its own affiliate referral codes to URLs when users typed the web addresses of crypto exchanges (like Binance and Coinbase) into the address bar. Following significant backlash, the CEO apologized and the feature was disabled. In 2023, the company faced criticism after users noticed a paid VPN service was installed on their computers without their explicit consent. TOR Privacy Leak: In 2021, Brave's private Tor tabs were found to be leaking DNS queries to internet service providers, a flaw that was subsequently patched. Passive Cryptocurrency Donations: In early versions of the browser, Brave automatically collected user contributions and held them in a pool to be distributed to creators. If a creator had not signed up to claim their funds within a certain time frame, the process sparked criticism about where the money went.
    • I think they still believe it but are realizing that those statements created massive backlash and impacted adoption. I personally think AI, if used regularly will give you back about 30% of your time if you are an “information” worker.
