Valve should get on this for gamescope, imagine Steam Deck doing a system update without closing your game.

I've heard that this is what is causing SteamOS 3.5 to take so long.

It requires a phone number to log in. That already kills any hope for anonymity. I use it to message family and close friends, of which the fact that I'm messaging them is not surprising.

I run my Nextcloud behind Tailscale, and Caddy handles theTailscale https certs.

xkb has been split off from Xorg, all Wayland compositors (that I know of) use it for mapping.

I think this is a good default.

An impossible dream of mine would be to check a list of devices with haptic touchpads, and disable tap-to-click on those.

Yep, I'm finding about half of my Reddit usage satisfied. I've got all the technical talk I want, but no gaming or writing communities.

I look forward to the day that Synapse is deprecated in favor of Dendrite or Conduit.

I'm pretty sure both are possible in xkb. But you'll have to learn how to get a custom xkb_keymap into your DE of choice. I only learned enough to do one mapping:

xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
	xkb_types     { include "complete" };
	xkb_compat    { include "complete" };
	xkb_symbols   {
		include "pc+us+inet(evdev)"
		key  {
			type= "TWO_LEVEL",
			symbols[Group1] = [  Multi_key,                Caps_Lock ],
			actions[Group1] = [ NoAction(), LockMods(modifiers=Lock) ]
		};
		key  {[ Escape ]};
	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)" };
};

This remaps Capslock to Escape, Escape to Compose, and Shift+Escape to Capslock. Not what you want, but hopefully this will give you a starting point to playing/breaking xkb.

Another benefit of doing this with xkb: it's now a separate codebase from X.org, and is used in every Wayland compositor I know of.

I learned Fish by helping someone else in a chat. There's a lot of cool things, and I think it's an excellent shell. Fish is an excellent choice for a shell.

Zsh is a much more featureful language (with globbing/subscript/PE flags, native floating point arithmetic, the whole man zshmodules), which doesn't necessarily make it a better shell. But I like those features, and I find it to be a natural choice to write more complex programs which normally would be a code smell for Bash.

The plugin ecosystem for is much larger than Fish's as well.
