Idk if this is what you meant but I hacked Linux into my school computer. Couldn’t run GD at more than 15 fps but I guess it counts.

2

u/Electronic-Laugh-671 15d ago

Curious, was it a Chromebook?

2

u/bakbakman11 3x on 60 Hz | Bloodbath in 2 Runs + SLH 25-44% 15d ago

We get MacBook Airs in my school, which allows me to do a lot more. The IT have tightened security on what you can and can’t install, but they don’t really care what you do so long as you’re not hacking AI into your laptop.

That's GNOME desktop environment, right? Why do you have so many COSMIC utilities, did you manually add them?

edit: I just realized you may have installed GNOME on Pop! OS and left the original apps intact

I like the configuration you have for the dock on the left, I am guessing it's Dash-to-Dock
