My fiance has more critical thinking and political analysis of world events and history than anyone I've met, reads books just about every day, writes and communicates clearly. Just talking to him for a little bit you'll get the impression that he's very intelligent.
I guess I should clarify that it's mechanically the same operating system for over 20 years.
Keybinds on tiling window managers was such a game changer of how I daily use my operating system that now I never want to go back to the traditional method.
And yes there's a fresh coat on things like file explorer or various programs but win11 compared to win10 is basically the same thing with no innovation, just more ads, telemetry, spyware, etc.
We still have windows 7 PCs in the shop at work and it looks the same to me as my work windows 11 laptop.
I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir on the fediverse haha
Fedora is a distro, not a desktop environment. Your desktop environment is going to dramatically change your look and feel of your OS.
I don't know how anyone can say windows 11 with all its ads and basically the same UI as windows XP from 2000 "looks better" than something like hyprland, i3, KDE, or gnome.
Man honestly what do you expect for someone like my friend, who I pick up and ride to/from work every day when there's random odd ball days I leave early or am off?
The literal only option to get home sometimes where we're at is to use something like Uber or lyft.
He busses when he can but they can be incredibly unreliable in our city and the state is slashing our budget and 50% of bus routes will be cancelled next year, including the one from work.
Hate to break it to you but literally none of this has to do with trump. Some people are just poor and need to rely on services like wtf are you even on about
Oh man welcome to my daily hell about this topic haha. We build, install, repair systems for the largest steel mills in the country. Think 100 foot long lineups all bussed together, all 100% custom. Some of them easily 6k to 12k amps.
Painted surfaces can really sneak up on you, and we've changed how we bond panels like three times since I've been here for a couple years (worked on this type of equipment for about 10 tho). We used to not bond the sub to our common gnd bus on the floor, thinking the studs to the cabinet frame was enough. But with shielded cable, it needs a direct path to gnd on shield and gnd in one spot and for all shields to be tied together.
If you wanna get into a really heady topic, see what happens when you put a piece of strut or gnd wire or another power wire in between parallel runs of power wire per phase on a three-phase AC system
I'm an industrial electrician and I don't know a single soul in my life outside of my career who I can shoot the shit about electrical systems. Sometimes I just want to nerd out about it, or discuss UL and NEC codes, or sometimes just removed about old crap from decades ago you have to work on haha
monitors-off is basically same thing but reversed:
#! /bin/bash
hyprctl keyword monitor DP-1, disable
hyprctl keyword monitor DP-3, disable
hyprctl keyword monitor HDMI-A-1, 0x0@60, 1
es-de
I'm still working out some kinks with audio so I don't wanna go down the rabbit hole hell that is pactl and pavucontrol in this post. But that's more of a universal Linux gripe I have than distro specific.
Obviously you'll need to tweak the script to what your specific setup is. The first numbers are x & y axis and the second is refresh rate. This is just an example. It's also Wayland only but you can do this in x11 no problem
As far as "remotely" switching, I just assigned the scripts to keybinds in the hyprland config file. Super easy.
Adding onto this a bit as I also use a KVM to stream games from my bedroom PC to the living room 4k TV.
Hyprland has been great for this. I used to use KDE, then i3. KDE was a PITA for this setup, no fault of their own it is just fundamentally a different one, and i3 worked to some extent but I was still constantly fiddling with stuff to get audio and video exactly how I wanted to (and to do it easily).
Hyprland just works for me and I love it. I press a keybind and run a script I wrote to turn off my desk monitors, set audio, and launch the emulator front end (emulationstation-DE). Which can also launch all my steam and lutris games, as well as emulators all the way up to PS3 and switch games.
I even mounted a remote start button on the wall and turn my PC on from the other room
I visited Australia last year. There were surveillance cameras just about everywhere. Even on rural highways to catch speeders
