  • The head appears to be sandwiched between two layers of metal.

    Someone has bent the lid of the hdd, the other side you’re seeing is the reflection on the disc surface

    The right hand side has a random piece that has shadows and depth that makes it look deeper than the disk depth on the left.

    For me the shadows and reflections look consistently and reasonable. E.g. the reflection of the metal arc on the right hand side ought to appear thicker than the metal of the arc due to the perspective.

    Also what is that foam cutout over the disk? I have never seen that on drives I have opened.

    No idea what it’s for, but I’ve already seen that in an hdd I’ve opened.

    Ps: the downvote is not from me

    The Pitot tube doesn’t work as the ballon is moving (more or less) with the wind, i.e. both pressure tubes, the one for static pressure and the one for total pressure, in the Pitot tube experience (almost) the same pressure, resulting in measuring (almost) zero dynamic pressure and thus velocity.



  • Your journal output might be too curated, I don’t see anything that would keep the display manager from starting up.

    The only suspicious entry I’ve found was #185:

    sddm[1596]: Failed to read display number from pipe

    FWIW, it could be GPU related, but that really just is a wild guess.

    Skimming search results onto the above error message seems to second your idea.



  • Of course one should avoid using the originally provided GTK software under KDE, as it’s also spamming the app drawer.

    It should work the same as for the Ubuntu -> Kununtu transition: Install some KDE Plasma desktop metapackage, logout and login using KDE, then remove the libgtk* packages to uninstall the Mate/Cinnamon desktop and it’s associated applications. One can reinstall the desired packages, e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird, Synaptic, afterwards.
