K, backed up my home folder on my external drive. Time to attempt an fresh OS install and copy back the application data. 🤞
Migrating my Agregore history to my new OS install worked flawlessly so I don't need to log into everything again. :P
It seems that KDE+Manjaro freezes up super hard whenever I try to load element in it though. POP OS also let me know that the tab would get absolutely frozen and spike my CPU, but at least I could still interact with everything else. :P
Main changes so far were to make the terminal pop up with meta+t, installing Fira Code and setting it as my default font for everything, changing the "close current window" command to meta+q
Not sure how to get touchegg working to enable the multi finger gestures I'm used to with my magic trackpad 2.
Once I get some of this stuff figured out, I'll be setting up Kvantum with the Sweet theme to make it look all fancy and seethrough. https://store.kde.org/p/1294013/
Konsole is taking a bit of getting used to. It doesn't seem to be handling the Fira Code font ligatures, and it's not saving the new "profiles" I'm creating for some reason.
zsh seems pretty fancy, but honestly I might go back to bash and use my bashrc from Pop OS.
```
PS1='\[\033[01;31m\][\h\[\033[01;36m\] \W\[\033[01;31m\]]\$\[\033[00m\] '
```
I use this to make my terminal prompt look a bit more colorful. (set in my .bashrc)
Also I use this to make it easier to copy data and open files / folders.
```
alias clip='xclip -selection clipboard'
alias open='xdg-open'
```
Not having my entire window manager freeze when I close a terminal is a huge productivity boost so far. 🤪

I gotta say, figuring out how to get all my email and calendar things synced has been more frustrating than I expected. In GNOME I just added an "online account" in one place and it propogated everywhere on its own. For KDE, there seems to be a bunch of options between kmail/korganizer/etc and they aren't syncing together by the looks of it. 😅
