For first person games, map reload on mouse 4 and sprint (or whatever else was on shift, maybe a spell) on mouse 5. Melee is left alt.
I turn off sounds. I hate computers that whoosh when I do something with windows, beep for no apparent reason, click when something else happens.
i honestly take that option for granted lol, it’s so weird when someone else’s computer bloops when a notification pops up. same with phones honestly, if i’m not expecting an important call it’s staying on silent
One of the many “corrections” that I make with mine.
Every single time I launch a new game the first thing I ALWAYS have to fix is the fuckin audio being way too goddamn loud. Why WHY does every single game have to launch with all the volume set to 100%???
I can’t remember what game it was I started played recently, but it had all the volume set to 50% on first launch and my friend and I actually like cheered from joy. That should be the norm not an exception so rare we celebrate it.
If you are a game dev please for the love of God set the default volume to at least 50%. Let the player choose to blow out their eardrums if they want later. Don’t force it on all of us. Especially if you have loud music that starts the millisecond the main menu pops up or if you have any unskippable cutscenes before you let them see the volume settings.
Screen brightness, dark mode, night light, if it’s a mobile device then Airplane mode.
Curious what you use airplane mode for so much? Brightness, blue light, themes(dark mode) I often use but curious what I’m overlooking with Airplane mode
Because for cellphone, I pretty much use wifi only and try to limit data usage. I believe on some devices airplane mode also turns off bluetooth by default as well, but you can still turn on bluetooth while in airplane mode if you need it.
I always change Sprint to Spacebar and Jump to Shift. Also I usually have to change the invert Y-Axis setting.
When it’s tilting the camera, what is considered “inverted” should be the default. You’re not panning up and down. You’re tilting forward and backward.

That’s all “customization” that’s needed to make GNOME work for me
Dark mode and switch language to English (unless the thing is originally German) not least because it’s much easier to find support in English.
unless the thing is originally German
This is the key, if I can read the original, I want the original.
aesthetics and UI. e.g. this is what my GIMP looks like:
apt remove snapd
Win9x making a comeback
This screenshot makes me want to install winamp
It really whips the llama’s ass!
I switch from swipe to buttons on my android phone every single time.
First step of playing any and every computer game is immediately going to resolution.
On both Windows and Android I go in and remove all of the bloatware and disable all of the tracking. I also turn off all of the various communications ‘features’ that are to let devices talk other devices.
Mute or disable all notifications except direct messages.
Turn on dark mode of it exists
Exactly opposite for me. Dark mode is just eww
Dark mode when it’s dark, light mode when it’s light out for me
This is the way
For me it depends on the program. For GitHub I prefer high contrast light mode. Also, I like that GitHub’s high contrast modes aren’t ugly.
Idk I just find dark mode depressing as fuck. I already stare at terminals enough.
Too long to list.
Almost all keybinds. I use a gamepad, and re-map keys on the gamepad so that all game functions are as close to the same keypress as possible. Run will always be the same, interact will be the same, hold breath, reload, etc. etc. So it’s far easier to pick up speed in a game when you don’t need to spend as much time pausing to look up what key does the funcrion you need.
new minecraft instance -> FOV 90
new browser -> remember open tabs when closing (and install adblock)
langauge -> English (i live in Poland so many devices come with polish as a default)
in games -> subtitles on
in tv shows -> subtitles off (unless the audio is poorly balanced with sfx)
i’ve also built muscle memory on my specific set up of Adobe apps, so if i were to use someone else’s photoshop i’d feel lost and confused
Minecraft -> Bobbing off. That shit gives me motion sickness
