It's not rainmeter, it's called Sidebar diagnostics.
And the theme is Arc for windows 10 AU.
you just gotta love the rolling release from arch and all arch based distros
Photoshop is really fun to mess around with.
So I did a clean install of Manjaro last night and it turns out that it run WAY better on my hardware than any other distro, even Linux Mint. Drivers installed perfectly without conflict, nothing extra had to be done to get steam running, ect.
I went with Manjaro for a few reasons
One: It's basically Mint meets Arch. It's still rolling release, but they test each update to ensure stability. So I still get the latest software, but I know it's been tested before I get it. Which is nice knowing I can update safely.
Two: Like I said, hardware is perfect. The hardware detection is amazing, it worked perfectly with both open and closed source drivers and switching between them is painless.
And last: All dat AUR/Arch software.

So my journey for the day ended up bringing my back to Mint. Why? Because with Manjaro, the second I locked/unlocked my screen, it broke the drivers. Regardless of free or non-free, so that couldn't stay
Then I tried Chakra Linux and after it installed, it just soft locked upon boot.
So then I tried Sabayon Linux and installing that was silly, so I gave up.
In the end, Mint seems to be best for my hardware.
Lesson of the day, AMD is shit with Linux, go Intel if you can.

At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console. -

considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges
