Enable y-axis look inversion. Because which way was “normal” and “inverted” hadn’t been standardized when I started gaming and that’s what I learned.
Gotta invert that mouse
On both Windows and Android I go in and remove all of the bloatware and disable all of the tracking. I also turn off all of the various communications ‘features’ that are to let devices talk other devices.
Mute or disable all notifications except direct messages.
aesthetics and UI. e.g. this is what my GIMP looks like:
Win9x making a comeback
This screenshot makes me want to install winamp
It really whips the llama’s ass!
apt remove snapd
Lock down permissions to what is actually necessary to function, then expand permissions as i feel they need them.
GNOME interactive screenshot from default to Ctrl+shift+s
That’s all “customization” that’s needed to make GNOME work for me
Language. Is can understand English with no problem, but I prefer Spanish if available.
Turn on dark mode of it exists
Exactly opposite for me. Dark mode is just eww
Dark mode when it’s dark, light mode when it’s light out for me
This is the way
For me it depends on the program. For GitHub I prefer high contrast light mode. Also, I like that GitHub’s high contrast modes aren’t ugly.
Idk I just find dark mode depressing as fuck. I already stare at terminals enough.

Dark mode and switch language to English (unless the thing is originally German) not least because it’s much easier to find support in English.
unless the thing is originally German
This is the key, if I can read the original, I want the original.
Work makes me use a Mac, and the main setting I always want to change is the power state to off.
Serious answer though, motion blur in games ick. I also usually mess turn off audio normalisation and max out the quality settings for streaming audio apps
Turning off motion blur and increasing field of view when a game has first person POV. Guaranteed motion sickness for me if I don’t adjust each.
Disabling the absurdity of 12-hour clock with am/pm, which bizarrely often is the default for no rational reason whatsoever.
I do the opposite: 12h clock despite being european. 24hr clock has never been intuitive to me. When I see 17:34 I need to take a solid 5 seconds every time to convert that in my head into the actual time. 5:34pm is clear because it says the time right there. My only issue with 12hr clock is remembering wether 12pm is at noon or at midnight.
Many countries including the US use 12 hour time for everything, so it’s easier for a lot of people to not have to constantly translate. So it makes sense to be the default in those countries. And yes, I think 24hr should be standard everywhere, but it’s not. I also think it’s insane not to use SI units, but oh well. (I think we should use decimal time as well, but that’s never going to happen because we’d need to redefine so many units.)
As someone who lives in the US and has used 24 hour time for a long while, it’s not a problem. The translation is trivial when you realize that time is meaningless when you are going to die of black lung in the coal mines or possibly in a concentration camp.
Same. 24 hour format helps reduce confusion.
I always change Sprint to Spacebar and Jump to Shift. Also I usually have to change the invert Y-Axis setting.
When it’s tilting the camera, what is considered “inverted” should be the default. You’re not panning up and down. You’re tilting forward and backward.
