This is an intentional effect.

I love that FreeCAD exists and use it often, but I really hate how much you have to "fight" the UI. I even briefly considered learning OpenSCAD out of frustration with the ui and the toponaming problem (before realizing that switching to OpenSCAD would just shift my frustration onto Javascript fuckery).

Now that the latter is fixed, though, I have just forced myself to forget how to do things the "normal" CAD way (i.e. using patterns and flows that most other software has standardized around) and instead how to do them the FreeCAD way.

I hope at some point we get an overhaul of the UX, but in the meantime I'll grin and bear it since I have yet to find an even remotely comparable F/OSS CAD software that works the same on both Linux and Windows.

I can attest to projectivy and smarttube, they are great. I went with the internet's recommendation on the $20 Walmart/onn Google tv 4k box, with projectivy as the launcher instead of the default.

My only gripe so far is that the remote doesn't seem to consistently turn the box on, I have to go unplug the box every so often to reset it. probably some misconfiguration that's making it not wake from sleep correctly.

Despite that issue, 10/10 experience: ad free YouTube, fast jellyfin in 4k, fully customizable ui...

Not all advocates of the 2nd amendment are Republican, or even conservative. The world isn't black and white.

unpopular opinion probably, but I like the configurable zones approach. it's probably because I'm used to fancyzones on my work pc and have gotten used to it.

every time I try to become a cool kid and use i3 or some other tiling wm variant, I get frustrated and go right back to plasma

It's all fun and games until you go remove it from the code your new quirky junior programmer checked in, and now production is dead because the artificial delay just happened to avoid some weird nearly-untraceable race condition.
