  • onepx

    A one pixel black window border theme for Metacity, Marco, and XFWM

  • I have one pixel borders with no titlebar and this is how I resize windows when I need to.

  • nvidia-auto-installer-for-fedora-linux

    A CLI tool which lets you install proprietary NVIDIA drivers and much more easily on Fedora Linux (32 or above and Rawhide)

  • If you have installed fedora and didn’t explicitly install the proprietary Nvidia drivers then you don’t have them, the third party codecs/drivers you mentioned elsewhere in the post don’t include the Nvidia drivers themselves. You can follow the instructions on this GitHub repo to install them for yourself. That should improve performance GREATLY. https://github.com/t0xic0der/nvidia-auto-installer-for-fedora-linux

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
