Aww,

Who do you need me to kill?

My non-verbal consciousness says

Shitting on windows is the most Linux thing you can do

there aren't many (if any) dbzer0 users subscribed to that content.

Would be a shame if someone were to... register an account on that instance and... subscribe to a couple communities

Lemmy doesn't show you the communities you want, it shows you the communities you need

I yeah i see it now, it's the pixel in the bottom right corner

it's 3% more banana-colored than the surrounding pixels, you can't miss it

Display manager I thought the d stood for Desktop, but i'm thinking of de, i see i've been mixing up terms, i've also been under the incorrect understanding that window managers and desktop environments were mutually exclusive, e.g. a desktop environment like xfce would conflict with a window manager like i3

Those scripts look cleaner than mine, perhaps i should give it another go, i'm currently on ubuntu, but many of the packets being 15 years out of date is starting to get annoying, i miss aur with its [xxx]-git packages

Quickswitch or automatic switch to a different profile, i often found myself enabling an external display and disabling the built-in one, then when packing down my laptop i forgot to manually configure the built in, meaning when i got home i had a laptop with a blank screen, Sometimes i was able to log in, open a terminal and enable the screen, other times i would have to reboot it. Something that could automatically enable the builtin if no external display is connected would've gone a long way for my usecase (my attempts at writing scripts for that never worked from what i recall, something got messed up when going to sleep)

Doesn't xfce use a dm? What kind of display configuration does it give? A gui for manually configuring the layout or something more?

Based on my search when i looked into arandr earlier, and also my search now, it cannot :( looks like it's just a graphical interface for xrand

But looks like there's a different project, autorandr, that looks promising, it won't automatically run when a display is connected or disconnected, but that's easy enough to do with an udev rule or something

Until now, i care a ton!
Oh wait, "Nobody who matters"
dang, nevermind

mister_monster seems to suggest it is though

Aren't there any applications that can automatically manage displays? Many dms let you cycle through "only primary, "only secondary", "mirrored" "side by side", is that something that has to be built in to the wm/dm?

Is that something arandr can do? I couldn't get it to do anything useful, so i ended up writing some scripts on top of xrandr to do it

I've only tried EndeavourOS with the i3 wm, it was better than setting it up myself from scratch, but it still left a lot to be desired (in particular; no way to deal with external displays as far as i could tell, except using xrandr)

But i guess it's more focused on the desktop manager options?

Ita good to get outside your comfort zone

This seems to imply i'm supposed to have a comfort zone

"what do you do for work?"
"I watch dogs poop"

I would also like to not work at work without getting fired, but here we are, so might as well look at some juicy gollum ass while getting kicked out

Lemmy... You fear to go into those communities. The lemmings scrolled too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of c/lotrmemes... shadow and flame.

"now with 20% less fat!"

I fixed it
