Figaro's questions

I started writing a script to toggle some options to boost performance in Gnome 3 or 4 for gaming and more. The first option that came into my mind was to toggle the animations. But I couldn't find any more options to play with.

TOGGLE=$HOME/.toggle #You can change the location of this variable

if [ ! -e $TOGGLE ]; then
    touch $TOGGLE
    #Activate Boost
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false
else
    rm $TOGGLE
    #Deactivate Boost
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations true
fi

I came here to ask if you have any suggestions for commands to include in the script. I have some more ideas that could be added, but I didn't include them because they're so specific for my computer like extensions, for instance:

gnome-extensions enable [email protected] 
gnome-extensions disable [email protected]

Edit 1: I forgot to mention that the purpose of the boost is to save as much RAM and CPU as possible to perform high resource consuming tasks. Thus, closing background processes like GNOME Software help a lot.

pkill gnome-software

Edit 2: If you're interested in including the toggle extensions commands in the script I recommend you How to activate/deactivate a gnome-shell extension from command line

I've recently fresh installed Ubuntu on my laptop (specs below, but more than enough to work with) and started downloading one game on Steam, but suddenly I start feeling my computer a lot slower than usual. I open System Monitor to see what's causing the problem and see that Steam is using practically all the CPU available, I pause the download and see the CPU usage is still high.
I've been testing distributions for the last 10 days and always see performance problems with Steam and its games.
Edit 1: I restarted my laptop to apply some system updates, however the problem still persists.

Edit 2: I also have problems running the games I downloaded on Steam. I usually have 120 fps for 2 minutes and then the games get to slow and lock on 10 fps.

The specifications of my laptop:

I'm an Ubuntu 20.04 user and I've been experimenting some issues I won't normally experiment on Windows while using Zoom application.

Installation:

sudo snap install zoom-client

Some Problems:
First of all, when I close all the windows related to Zoom via
All the instances disappear from the task bar, but the proccess won't end on the system monitor as shown below:

This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't need to end it before opening Zoom again (which is another problem by itself). Every time I close all the Zoom related windows I have to go to system monitor to end the process. Otherwise, If I try to open again the application I won't get any answer from the computer.

Finally, there are some cases when Zoom randomly crashes showing the following message:

However, when I open the system monitor the zoom process is still running, so if I try to open the application again I get no response until I kill the process on system monitor.

In some applications the Intellihide doesn't work because the app doesn't suport fullscreen (so this option does not trigger):

It's pretty uncomfortable getting interrupted by the Intellihide every time I hover the mouse near the edge of the screen. I've tried manipulating some of the options to keep the panel hidden while I run those kind of applications without full-screen feature.

I came here to ask Ubuntu if there is a method to program or activate a shortcut to keep the panel hidden until I press the shortcut again? (the same way there is a shortcut to hold the panel visible)
Hold the panel visible shortcut in the extension settings:

Edit: No, I don't want to remove the extension. I'm just seeking for a method to keep it hidden at will. I'm going to provide an image of what I mean

Holding the panel hidden (What I need):

Intellihide enabled (what I want to temporally disable using shortcuts)

Edit 2: I achieved recording the Holding the panel hidden by disabling temporally the extension, I haven't resolved yet the problem so I'll start a bounty.

Some days ago I accidentally spilled some soda on my laptop and broke one of the keys, specifically the letter 'v'. The computer isn't actually mine so I'm ordering another replacement to the keyboard which arri'v'es in 10 days. Until the new keyboard gets installed I ha'v'e to make a little fix on my laptop to stop the pain of pasting the 'v' using a mouse. So I thought of remapping Right Windows (key I do not use) to temporally fix the problem.

T.L.D.R. Need to remap the letter 'v' to the Right Window's key and don't know how.

I recently had many visual bugs due I changed the name of my home folder's username, one of them is a bigger title bar text than usual. I've not found a way to modify this yet sadly, so I came here to ask Ubuntu how.

Bounty Edit: This post explains better the problem

I've already made some posts asking how to adjust some little features from the themes you install in Gnome. In this case I've been manipulating the Arc-Black Theme with the following file for a while: usr/share/themes/Arc-Black/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css . However, I haven't found any line of code to change the text or background color of the notifications.
Note: The following picture shows what happens in the notification panel, but, it's the same case for the pop-up system notifications.

Since I renamed my home folder I've gotten many bugs including the following one where the calendar in my Arc-Black theme appears to be white and unreadable, also, you have the Themes I'm using right now in the Tweeks screenshot down below

I get the following graphical glitch when I open my laptop after suspension: It can be solved by restarting Gnome with [alt+f2 - r], but I came here to ask you if there's a definitive solution to this glitch

As you can read in the title, I accidentally installed 2 Discord apps; one is from the Ubuntu Software and the other is from the .deb file in the Discord website.
I came here to ask you if there's an easy way to uninstall the app from the .deb file to keep only the one from the Snap Store

To enter a college class I need to execute a JNPL file using the command line (because audio doesn't work from Chrome or Firefox):

user@computer:~$ sudo javaws '/home/user/Downloads/CiscoWebExServlet' 

Unfortunally, Instead of getting inside the meeting I get an error:
Evidence is here: Pictures
Also, here is the terminal message when I tried to load the file:

Edit #1: Before today, the teacher created the WebEx meeting from the internet browser directly (which worked perfectly), however he had connection issues, so the University itself decided to make a different alternative (which is the one I cannot open from browser directly).

Edit #2: When I close the dialogue from the error I get:

As you can see, there's a bar above the tabs in the Mozilla Browser which gives redundant information. It happened when I updated some extensions but I don't know how to remove it.

I know most of the information I use in my daily basis is stored in the home folder, however, I want to be sure nothing important is left out of the backup.

Edit: Which command I use to copy these files into an external HD?

I recently installed 7zip on my PC to extract some .7z files I had in my Download Folder. However, when I entered:

7z e 'File location here'

The terminal result:

• ?????????? ?? ??

• ???????: ???

• ?????: ????

All the 1700 files were extracted successfully, but also went to the /home folder flooding it.

I desperately start deleting some of the files and folders, but it's imposible to manually remove all of them.

Also tried sorting by date, but the files have dates from 2014 to 2020 inherited by the original .7z file.

Is there a method to undo what I did without damaging any of the files I already had before the extraction?

This morning I went to the Gnome extensions website to update my extensions. However, when I upgraded the "Applications Menu" extensions I got an error message and it automatically uninstalled.

The problem is that now the Application Menu Indicator keeps showing no matter is disabled in the Tweeks menu.

I also tried to restart the session and the computer but nothing happens.

Gnome 3.28.2
Ubuntu 18.04

Edit 1:
This is what happens when I enter in the terminal:

sudo rm -r '/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions'

Details: Before - Before the restart - After the restart (Hasn't worked yet).

Edit 2:

gnome-shell-extension-tool -d [email protected]

I entered this code in the terminal, here's an image Before / After the restart. It actually worked, Thanks.
