I don’t have gnome-settings, should I get that off the software store? I read very briefly about a form of Ubuntu that uses something called GNOME (though I think that’s its own OS).

You should have some kind of settings app preinstalled. In it you can find display settings same as you would on Windows, if I remember correctly even on GNOME you can just right click your desktop and there will be something like Display settings.

Is Wayland an app that can alter desktop size?

Wayland is protocol and it basically handles how to draw everything on the screen. You don’t really need to worry about it unless you are doing something non standard.

Thankfully I managed to resolve my Steam issues (apparently I needed to add the drive to its list of drives).

I would advise against using NTFS from my experience (although it is few years old) some games would just refuse to run on NTFS drive. If you really don’t mind reformatting I would advise to just format it to EXT4.

Evilsandwichman might not even be running Xorg, and half of the settings these tools adjust might be doing nothing at all.

I would assume that if you use system settings (not nvidia-display-settings or whatever it was called) it should work independently of the display protocol. Feel free to correct me I am on AMD and haven’t touched desktop environment in years.

To be honest it is not that much. In previous years we had demonstrations of about 200 000 people quite regularly against previous government. Plus one of the key points of the demonstrators is “to stop diluting Czech blood with Ukraine migrants”.

Yep, that is not really uncommon in Czech, the demonstration itself was mainly called “Czech first”.

Yeah, to be honest that is my problem with this protest. There are some elements that are based (anti NATO/anti EU) but at least in my opinion most people are there from SPD, etc. Which do want those things but for completely different reasons.

To be honest there are basically no left wing parties in Czech. We do have KSCM which is communist party but they are becoming basically irrelevant (about 3.6% in last election and they are projected to get even less in next one). And to be honest they are not the greatest party anyway (although better then the rest). There are few neoliberal center-left parties that are quite popular Czech Pirate Party for example but they are just typical progressive social-democracy type party. And rest is basically right center-right parties.

I mean what some people here say about Ukrainians is nothing compared with how they talk about Russians.

It is basically the same as the fact that we are calling Australia, South Korea and Japan “west”. These distinctions are almost never about geography.
