Ontario has lakes bigger than some countries

Ironically, I haven’t had a hardware issue in ages.

The Unix philosophy is many parts combined, instead of one mega-part. The Linux kernel is an exception, but the concept allows Linux to evolve over time, and to be flexible. I don’t know what AHK does (consider describing behaviour in these kinds of posts), but concepts like uber-key mapping can’t exist the way they did in Windows.

It seems to me that you have two options:

1. Move to a launcher style approach: find a utility that let’s you trigger a menu that offers the things that your are trying to do (dmenu, fuzzel have lots of extensions for behaviours), similar to the OSX launchpad or the windows start menu w/typing, but you can create your own options and script them
2. Look at the key mapping for your DE (kde, gnome, sway, xfce, niri) and see what is there. KDE has excessive key mapping, and the small tiling managers have many launching and scripting options.

Listen, moving from windows to Linux is not like moving to an apartment across the hall, it is more like moving to an apartment across the border - they have worked out some things differently, and sometimes better. Half of the goal of moving away from windows is moving away from windowisms. Explore and what else is there.

People ask me why I use emacs (they don’t actually, but they could) and I answer by telling them that there are some very new progressive workflows that are significantly better that most IDEs - look at consult/vertico/marginalia/orderless/corfu , and forget evil/vi, look at meow. File browsing using a tree navigator is a last ditch thing. Watch prot on YouTube to learn build a stone cabin, understand philosophy, and learn how to use emacs; move forward and progress.

Darnit, I’m rambling again.

This.

Don’t expect the brand new gear to work on Linux. It takes a while for the neckbeards to get access and write the drivers.

Heck, even new gear from companies that contribute their own drivers can be shaky.

I’m sorry, but for desktop, Linux can’t be relied on as stable for early gear adoption. Usually even the specs are in limbo still.

This is coming from a linux/bsd only user for many years.

Easy installer too.

Sysexts are something I’ve been meaning to get in to. Have you had much success in general with them?

Just need to point out that the CEO of roblox feels that tech CEOs should decide how the country (USA) is run.

Ah yes, the return of right-shifting

I think the topic is not so much “gun folks”, but more the idea that the US 2nd amendment right equates with all freedoms.
