From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I open links from different categories of websites in different firefox profiles via a bash script. For example the current one is named "memes".
Also i have a second panel at the top of my second monitor so i can always see the current date and time.

I think this one is probably very popular. I had a very hard time giving Gnome a chance because of its inability to do this by default.
I have stickers on it, some of them hand drawn by my daughters.
I created my own openSUSE splash screen for KDE because I felt all the existing ones were a bit amateur and I wanted something professional looking. I haven’t published it because I can’t be bothered creating an account. It only took about 15 minutes because I chopped up another one which had clearly chopped up another one.
I have a zellij snd micro config for journaling and writing that makes a completely borderless full screen terminal with no decoration whatsoever and narrows the terminal for micro to the upper half of the middle 1/3 of my screen.
It helps me focus and limiting to the upper half and middle 1/3 makes it easier for my eyes. I get distracted easily and this helps keep my editor from being the source of that.
I use hot mount SATA slots for backup and other media. Not that common on workstations. Sure, common on servers.
I also seperate Firefox on different workspaces, but only manually. How is the extension called? Having it automated would save me some seconds every reboot.
Sway (and i3) you can assign windows to workspaces based on any property that is available in the swaymsg tree. It can do parital matches, so for example if you wanted your Lemmy firefox window to always start on workspace 3 you could use:
assign [title="lemmy" app_id="firefox"] workspace number $ws3
Title can use regex so you can do some pretty neat matching if you need it.
edit: based on the other commenter I think I might be missing a simpler declarative way to do this. The following will be kept for posterity though
The main idea is:
hyprctl -j which gives... json blahblah
"title": "[7] What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has? - tchncs — Mozilla Firefox"
... json blahblah
but in Sway it might be something similar to using swaymsg. Only titled windows will have the bracket number thing so just regex that part
sleep for like 30 seconds to a minute before all the titles register.I'm using XFCE with Compiz, and since I have two monitors I have a 3D octagon instead of a 3D cube desktop.
I type "power..." into my cli and press tab+enter to shutdown my computer. Same for reboot... 😆
I use this app (webapps is the name I think) to make apps for YouTube, Mubi and TorrentLeech and I have then pinned on the task bar and use them as apps instead of webpages. This is in my hometheater pc
I spilled a glass of scrumpy on the keyboard and a, s, and d no longer work. So I have to use a keyboard with it.
So you have to use a keyboard with your keyboard...
With my laptop.
ChatGPT wrote a Python program that does select->Tesseract OCR for me, but it doesn't always work right with two monitors. I'm too stupid to correct it. How have you done yours, what are you using for selecting the area?
wait how does your clipboard shortcut work op? that sounds nifty!
I think I mentioned it but here it is again in case the comment didnt federate

# snippet based on end4 dotfiles -- FIXME edge case where a
# preexisting tmp.png might be overwritten
# English
bind = Super+Shift,T,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l eng "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
# Korean
bind = Super+Shift,K,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l kor "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
# Japanese
bind = Super+Shift,J,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l jpn "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
Pipe grim and slurp (selects part of the Wayland screen then copies) into a tmp.png, tesseract it into the clipboard, then delete the tmp.png. Has like 1 sec of lag tho :]
why do you even need a temporary file?
$ slurp | grim -g - - | tesseract stdin stdout -l eng+kor+jpn | wl-copy -t 'text/plain'
