OctavioBR

KDE Plasma 5

Pros

• Natively supports fractional scaling REALLY WELL!
• Memory optimized!
• Nice desktop defaults: alt-tab only in same space, window snapping (specially good!), good compositing
• Clipboard history manager out-of-the-box!
• Modern looking (breeze), easy to dark everything if wanted.
• Nice retro theming with MS Windows 9x application style, plastik window decoration and oxygen cold colors.

Ways to remap caps lock to control on Windows 10

These methods in this gist worked for me on my U.S.-based keyboard layouts. I am unsure about other layouts. If you have problems, revert your changes; delete the registry key you created (and reboot).

Update: you should probably scroll down to approach 4 where I suggest using Microsoft PowerToys Keyboard Manager.

Approach 1. Manually through regedit

Navigate to and create a new binary value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout named Scancode Map.

	 * Open your Atom settings and under "Editor Settings" change your

	 * both tab indicators.

OS X's "Word of the Day" screensaver is a great way to passively learn words:

But I've always thought that its word list kind of stunk—it was full of obscure words that I could never really see myself using. I'd prefer something like Norman Schur's 1000 Most Important Words. What if you could plug your own word list into the screensaver?

On a rather obscure comment thread, someone explained where you might find the word list that Apple uses to power the screensaver. It is at /System/Library/Graphics/Quartz\ Composer\ Plug-Ins/WOTD.plugin/Contents/Resources/NOAD_wotd_list.txt. The file looks like this:
