I know it's confusing. This is a neovim plugin called obsidian, not the obsidian software. That's why I put a link to it but I may edit my post to make it more clear. Thanks.

Any mastodon client? Also can I recommend the Right apps collection from Goodwy and Voyager as Lemmy client (I think they match the requirements to figure on your list).

This is my neovim visual config:

    -- General colors
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "Normal", { bg = "none" } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "NormalFloat", { bg = "none" } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "NormalNC", { bg = "none" } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "LineNr", { bg = "none" } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "SignColumn", { bg = "none" } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "Folded", { bg = "#4b4b4b" } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "FoldColumn", { bg = "none" } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "Visual", { fg = "#000000", bg = "#de935f" } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "NotifyBackground", { bg = "#000000" } )```

    -- Spell checking 
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "SpellLocal", { fg = default } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "SpellRare", { fg = default } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "SpellCap", { fg = "#de935f", italic=true } )
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "SpellBad", { fg = "#ff0000", italic=true } )
   
   -- Markdown
   vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "htmlBold", { bold=true } )
   vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "htmlItalic", { italic=true } )
   vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "htmlStrike", { fg = "#ff0000", strikethrough=true } )

vim.api.nvim_set_hl( 0, "Normal", { bg = "none" } ) is probably what would work for you.

There was just a similar post here. You may find interesting clues there as well.

To investigate the issue you may want to use a bootable drive and chroot into your system. This will allow you to see any error messages using the journactl command. Once you know what's going on exactly you'll be able to fix it or get a better assistance from people here or on the Arch forum.
I know someone who encountered the exact same login behavior after this update. It appeared that some packages were broken and he had to reinstall them.

I've been through awesomewm, i3, and dwm. Now I'm using bspwm. Each one has its own specificities and is more or less easy to familiarized with.

Tiling WM are more than screen splitters. It's difficult to apprehend without trying it. A friend of mine had the same reasoning before actually trying one. Now he couldn't go back. Although, like everything else, tiling WM are not for everyone and that's why there're other options :)

I agree. Have you ever owned one?

Both iosevka and fira look nice.

I've been scrolling with no hope to see st anywhere but here it is! Only mentioned twice for now but this little guy deserves so much love. Yes, you have to build it (i.e. patch it) but that's actually it's beauty. You get the exact terminal you want, nothing more, nothing less. If you're looking for power and lightweight this is your guy.
Coupled with tmux and you're the God of your system :)

I use ytfzf to search/watch videos on YouTube, Peertube, Odysee.
It has several add-ons including one for playlists. I didn't try it though.

Right, I didn't know updating firmware from the fwupd service was came pre-installed in Pop_OS.
So you only have one more task on your list: enjoying your new laptop! :)
