    I was about to reply that mobile browsers have the "swipe down to reload" behavior built in, but decided to double check it before commenting and was surprised to see that mobile firefox does not. There is a plugin that adds this behavior, if you're okay with using add-ons like that.

    I agree with what what said, but In case you're unfamiliar with Arch, you should be warned that the installation process is trickier than other distros. There are guides online that will walk you through it, but it requires doing a lot of things manually that the installers for other distros do for you. The trade-off is that you become really familiar with how your system is put together and what's on it.

    After the installation is over though, I think it's one of the more simple distros to use, mostly thanks to the AUR and the Arch Wiki, like what mentioned.

    For movies, I really like Letterboxd. It's great for managing lists of movies you've seen or want to see, and you can use it to leave reviews/notes on movies.

    My screenshot is just of my web browser (Qutebrowser), and it is running in Linux in my case, but it's also available for Mac and Windows. It's an awesome browser if you enjoy doing things from the keyboard more than with your mouse.

    If you're interested in it, I wrote up a blog post explaining the things that I like about it: https://jamesbvaughan.com/qutebrowser/

    Have you tried it on different displays? I've never had difficulty with purple and the background on mine.

    Awesome, thanks for all that info! Are there any specific learning resources that you recommend (tutorials, videos, etc.) beyond the standard documentation for those programs?

    I just started seeing posters for her new album around LA the other week and she was recently on Jimmy Fallon. I think she's been approaching worldwide (semi-)mainstream success foe a while now.

    I enjoy having a consistent colorscheme for all the applications I use and right now I'm using solarized dark since it seems to be one of the most widely available. I was happy to see that it's one of the official colorschemes for Tildes and I like how nicely it fits with my Qutebrowser colors: https://i.imgur.com/bXzTjtT.png

    I'm not sure if this was intended as a joke or not, but in the cities I've lived in I've only every cycled on the road as cycling on sidewalks is both unsafe and illegal.
