I use bash extensively. I poll video files with ffprobe to get the audio level and video resolution to set a universal standard volume and custom window positions per file depending on what other applications are open.
I understand that all this is a security risk / too obscure of a feature from Wayland’s perspective. I’ll probably stick to X11 for as long as possible.
Are KDE’s window rules accessible through bash? Can it work on individual window titles (i.e. different browser tabs in Firefox)?
Speaking as an Xfce user, I’d prefer a DE-neutral option, but if I must use Wayland, maybe KDE is worth another try.
Once a day
Looks like a hotkey daemon. That helps, but the crux of my issue is that on X11, xdotool can read the window names, size, position, and move them between workspaces and monitors.
Window manager automation. I use hotkeys to resize and move windows based on their title, pin them to certain monitors, etc…
ydotool is a step in the right direction, but AFAIK it can only simulate mouse and keyboard input
Debian is solid as fuck, perfect for work computers, but I like tinkering with bleeding edge software on the AUR in my free time.
When a huge batch of laptops at my workplace that couldn’t support Windows 11 stopped receiving updates, I switched them to Mint for a drop-in-replacement that wouldn’t scare them too much. Now that they’re used to it Debian is probably the next step.
I don’t mind the AI overviews, but they shouldn’t show up every time you do a search.
Debian on my production servers, Arch Linux as my daily driver, Linux Mint on the devices I manage for normies.

Windows Update: stop what you’re doing its time to test my latest bugs
The only Chrome I’m touching is userChrome.css
Here’s a treasure trove of filters that block so much more than just ads
Are there any plans to improve Piefed’s RSS feeds? I primarily browse through Thunderbird, and Lemmy’s feeds are a lot more content-rich
Transmission is so good. I wish more applications offered multiple toolkit frontends.
I like the Qt version, btw
Steam’s native Linux client first released in 2012, granted, there weren’t a lot of compatible games at that point
And we used PlayOnLinux to install Windows games using CDs and DVDs
Slow and very unstable in the early days compared to GNOME2, but I still loved the look of it
Speaking as someone who grew up with video games and only reluctantly engages with social media, I think I understand how the previous generation felt
yay every day
