Yesterday I made a post about PaperWM which is a scrollable tiling window manager extension for GNOME. Today, I had "lookup 'window always on top' " on my to do list for boring days. I couldn't find anything and after 2 minutes I wondered why I am still searching for it because with the tiling window manager, I do not need such a thing because nothing is overlapping. PaperWM to the rescue! Super Ctrl Escape puts the focused window always on top. You can put as many windows on top as you want. Mission accomplished, thx PaperWM!

It gets better. With a side-wards scrollable desktop, you can really use vertical workspaces. V-Shell is a beast. It does not only provide vertical workspaces but extends default GNOMES functionality. You can have more apps in a folder, more apps in overview, more funny keybindings. In my opinion this is way too much for an extension. This is a lot of extensions in one, just like Just Perfection contains a lot of functionality. I've got a 4k monitor and PaperWM and V-Shell really help to make GNOME shine. The workflow still feels weird but I'll get there.

PaperMW clashes with some of my fav keybindings like Super+F to open firefox and Super+T to open the text editor but I'll adapt to the new workflow!

I've never seen it being shown here, so I thought I'd make a post.

I've never got into tiling window managers, there's a hurdle to get into them because I have to decide first which one I'll look into. I have to spend time without knowing if I even want it. And the first impressions weren't that awesome to jump over the hurdle. I was "satisfied with basic tiling" or super user friendly, minimal workload, tiling things. Usually, I played with awesome tiles or forge and they are great.

I stumbled upon PaperWM which extends the view to the side. It automatically appends windows to the side and you can scroll through them. You can do a lot and I still need to figure out how everything works but it's at least fun to explore it. I'm on GNOME 45 and so far I haven't seen any bug.

I need to repair a drive with chkdsk and don't have access to windows

edit: hopefully, I only have to do it once. I will search for someone with a real windows machine. It's not worth the trouble =(

Usually, I'd run the app from the terminal.

I'm trying to refresh the online calendars in gnome's calendar gnome-calendar or org.gnome.Calendar but nothing happens. It shows a check mark as if it was successful.

edit: I just reinstalled the calendar via software from flathub and cleared the cache. The app is now unresponsive. I can't uninstall it anymore. reboot.

edit2: after a reinstall, calendar still has the outdated information. Even though I deleted everything. Evolution has the latest data which means that sync is working.

yt-dlp is capable of downloading a title but it's tedious to download all of them. is there an easy way? and for ard and zdf?

This is the link to the image. It has 3.8mb. In my opinion that is way too much.

Whenever I reload lemmy I can see in the statusbar that it loads many megabytes of data. For mostly text. Why is that?
