TL;DR: Use kanata when your qmk keyboard is not around. Introduction I have a qmk keyboard bought from keebio (note: highly recommend!): However, sometimes I’m on the go, and I’m forced to use my laptop keyboard. After being spoiled by qmk’s insane customizability, I couldn’t go back to a regular keyboard. I found kanata and kmonad and they could simulate most of my qmk experience. Why kanata over kmonad? The exact reason Why I built and use kanata....

TL;DR: if you want to use plocate while your filesystem is btrfs, do the following: edit /etc/updatedb.conf: replace PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS = "yes" with PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS = "no" save the file update the db with sudo updatedb test again with $ locate home to see any outputs from home directory Introduction plocate is supposed to be a much faster drop-in replacement for mlocate, but I had a lot of troble getting it to work....

Introduction I used to have the following in ~/.config/sway/config.d/autostart_applications: swaymsg "workspace number 1" swaymsg "exec flatpak run --env=OBSIDIAN_USE_WAYLAND=1 md.obsidian.Obsidian" swaymsg "exec kitty" swaymsg "workspace number 2" swaymsg "exec firefox" swaymsg "workspace number 3" swaymsg "exec chromium --ozone-platform-hint=auto" swaymsg "exec kitty" swaymsg "workspace number 4" swaymsg "exec vieb --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland" swaymsg "exec kitty" As you can see, I have 3 Chromium-based app....

2023-08-05 Update The drop-in replacement ueberzugpp has native support for Wayland (sway and hyprland), and most importantly, tmux support on sway and hyprland! pacman -Syu ueberzugpp and add the following: set preview_images true set preview_images_method ueberzug and you’re done! TL;DR: I’ve switched to using vimiv to substitute for my broken Ranger’s image preview. You could also use imv or mpv to interact with Ranger but I found it to be a bit janky....
