I'm stuck on step 2 : I'm trying to copy the 'kwin4_effect_greyscale' folder to /usr/share/kwin/effects but its not working
I'm not even sure if I have the /usr/share/kwin/effects folder as I cannot see it in dolphin

I am trying to follow the instructions but the commands aren't working and I'm n...
simply because youre in the wrong working directory
cd kwin-grayscale-effect-master

ok i'm in the right directory now tho but it says that folder doesn't exist
when it clearly does?
wait i tried it again
and it's not returning anything anymore
does that mean these commands worked?
tame dune
ok i'm in the right directory now tho but it says that folder doesn't exist
wrong spelling

and i can't find it manually in dolphin

the first one was a good try
but you shouldnt use cd
