Is there a way to apply the set accent color to GDM in F41 (GNOME 47)? The blue is horrible to look at and I’d rather have my preferred orange set instead.
sudo machinectl shell gdm@ $(which gsettings) \
set org.gnome.desktop.interface accent-color "orange"

I think I’ve done something wrong:
It looks like a non-default shell.
I updated the above code for better compatibility.
Here’s the same command but with the backslash removed, formatting like that often makes copy-pasting annoying.
sudo machinectl shell gdm@ $(which gsettings) set org.gnome.desktop.interface accent-color "orange"

Discourse provides a dedicated button to copy the contents of a code block, so I don’t see any problem here.
On the other hand, I always feel annoyed when a simple fragment of code is hidden behind a scrollbar, making me think the author does not care about its readability or has some ulterior motive.

I always read what I paste into the terminal anyway, it’s not that big of a deal.\
On another note, I’m distrohopping to openSUSE this week anyhow. Just wanted to get it working while I was still using Fedora. I’ve started using new distros every other week. (I’m at a vocational school and we have different classes depending on the week; the week I’m using “new” distros (not Fedora) is the week where I’m doing graphic design and have less homework, therefore less need for a stable, ready-to-use setup and more time to tinker,)
I’ve just always found that pasting multi-line commands into a terminal to be a constant source of strange behavior. I always stick to single line commands (connected by && or || if necessary), running commands one by one, or using a bash script.
Your negative experience could be related to a specific clipboard manager, or terminal emulator, or line endings like CRLF, but this has been part of my workflow in Fedora for over a decade, and it works well even when copy-pasting large multi-line blocks of code.
I have history of some website’s code blocks selecting text oddly when it’s broken up into multiple lines. Putting my one-liners enforced to a one-liner makes it easy to double-click copy/paste like I do from my own notes. I also greatly dislike \ for line breaks in commands; I assume that doesn’t work right as-is from some niche shell/Terminal/something, and figure most people copy/pasting stuff use a GUI Terminal that has Word Wrap that handles it better than I can try to guess at for others when it comes to HiDPI/etc.
Readability-wise, I have to research what that command does further and why. What’s $(which gsettings) doing? Why does gdm have @? I’d be setting something like sudo -u gdm gsettings set [etc] since I find it more-simple and readable as to what it does, and fits on a one-liner easier (I have to learn why that doesn’t just-work for gsettings like that though 
)

That’s on me; I always end up using zsh with the Grml.org config as a holdover from using Arch.
