On the subject of not knowing most of the things you mentioned, I’m with the other commenters. As a (hopefully) Linux newbie, do you know of any thorough guides I could use to install Linux on my 10 year old Asus X550J laptop?

Sounds a little redundant there, dontcha think?

Just as a precautionary measure to open one chrome tab before installing Firefox.

I commute to that area every day from about an hour west, I know all too well what you mean 😬

Follow-up to the original posting:

I fixed the issue I was having, I just bought a S23 Ultra yesterday and it fixed all the problems I was having!

I should add I’ve had Nova Launcher for probably 10 years and (without having this issue before) changed nothing. I currently have an LG V60, and use IFTTT to periodically update my phones wallpaper to the top post in r/earthporn. Aside from that, I don’t change my phones personalization settings and have never seen this happen before. I’m also currently running Android 13.

What is Material You? Afaik I have no themes installed, I don’t personalize that far. All I have installed as far as personalization is Nova Launcher which I haven’t changed anything for, for like 10 years.

There is no invert color option in the notification drawer that’s specific to those apps. I do have the invert color option in there but have never used it and it’s currently inactive.

The description is supposed to say night mode/color inverting*/… sorry for the typo.
