9 women cannot have a baby in 1 month obviously, that’s an assembly problem.

What you need is 1 woman and 9 men.

Sensor fusion is wicked hard though. At the sensor level and the track level it’s a huge pain, especially on something maneuverable.

Gotta get that sweet sweet pandoc-bin

Yeah I run an xrandr profile generated by arandr. It just seems really brittle. My monitor is also my kvm switch between machines so there’s a lot of input swapping and it doesn’t always behave.

I was unaware of no desktop mode, I’m using dwm but I find occasionally if a monitor gets jostled it will lose the input. Going back to login screen on my work PC fixes the problem but on dwm only it’s a reboot. I suppose this allows fixing that problem…

I feel like one Z should be a 2 for good measure

OMG yes we need a customer addition and a security addition. It’s so hard to find a place to work with a competent AND reasonable ISSM

Probably true

This is true only in hindsight though. You will always have done or not done even if you always set out to “do”. From this perspective it makes “don’t try” a little fatalistic, no?

Keyboard for coding, mouse for games.

There is no try, only do or do not!

+1 for getting a small USB case and carrying multiples. Always works for me.

Might be time to try then!

Really? I might have tried before had I known that. My hardware is circa 2010 so I thought I was up the creek

Not everyone has mad CPU resources (or time) to support portage tho.

BTW you got a bunch of weird distros no one has heard of and you don’t have the champion of distros. “Do you know how to read and follow directions and do you like the stack overflow answers that are the shortest -> arch”

In the spirit of the last guy’s response but letting you tackle one thing at a time, I recommend sxhkd to manage your keyboard shortcuts. It’s more intuitive than using the config of whatever twm you’re using, and it’s portable to basically any DE/distro combination. Something like i3 or even vim/vifm/vimium will have a base set of shortcuts you can borrow to see what you might need, then unused keys or combos can be used for launching programs like a boss.

Idk I like to lean into the tiling but you also need WORKSPACES (or tags, since I’m a dwm guy). You can configure which specific programs don’t need to be filed and float them which is the method I prefer.

BUT.

You’re right, it is nice to separate functionality. I like sxhkd for consistent hot keys across distros (I’m mostly mouseless), tmux as a multiplexer, and related unrelated I think at OPs stage picking an editor is going to be important.

I’m already using sxhkd with dwm but it’s probably underdeveloped. I want something like that above but with an additional hotkey to change send the active window to a workspace and then switch to that workspace but I haven’t worked it up. I debated using a QMK tapdance feature for that but have never switched to my QMK keyboard.

I guess to get at my real question, dwm (or maybe more accurately some of the applications I run) generate windows in weird ways. Zoom for instance doesn’t generate notifications for things like unstable wifi, but rather tiles a new window for 2 seconds which is REALLY annoying. Also the window swallowing feature is pretty finicky for things like (n)vim+latex in continuous compiling situations.

It’s all fixable… But it’s just a massive headache since (on my work pc) changing a dwm config means logging out and back in to see the results.

Best parts of switching?
