nothing to do with guitar, but this is my favourite thing to toy around with.

I discovered it through this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu5rnQkfO6M

Here you go:

Everything should be documented there

https://git.sr.ht/~deckweiss/x11_activity_session

It probably can be adopted to wayland (or even native kde tiling) with a bit of tinkering.

KDE activities don’t get much dev love, so be warned.

The activity script hooks are (or were for a long time, idk how it is now) an undocumented feature.

I’ll dig all the stuff out for you later today.

there’s prep and glam I like to do or tend to set up but that I would prefer to explicitly set up instead of it being done automaticall

Back in the x11 days I had a script that would take a config file and open multiple programs in a specified arrangement across my displays.

I used KDE activities by task and had such a config for each task. KDE activities can run arbitrary scripts on being started. So when I opened the “work” activity for example, all my work apps would open up in my preffered arrangement. When I opened the gaming activity, steam would start on my side monitor and the main monitor had all of the other gaming related shortcuts on it etc.

Together with the preload daemon or a custom vm-touch (i switched from one to the other at some point) it was blazingly fast and very comfy. (Again, I overprovisioned my RAM so I used it by filling it post boot with a cache of pages that my apps load on startup)

Then wayland came and broke it and I didn’t bother to fix it yet.

But everybody has their own prefered workflows, I’m not saying one is better than the other. Just wanted to share.

Sorry, I can’t help you with your problem.

But just in case you were serious about “We don’t shutdown.”:

In my case - clean boot takes 25s. Waking up from hibernation takes over 60 seconds, because of huge RAM. And sleep is broken due to some USB interface shenanigans. Soooo yeaaah, I fully shut down and power on every day.

Oh and btw. by default windows doesn’t do a full shutdown, but a sneaky hibernate. You can see that for example if you “shutdown” windows (not reboot.), then power on the pc and boot into linux - trying to access the windows drive, you will see an error that windows “didn’t shutdown properly” and is still claiming access to the windows drive. Because it’s hibernating and changing content on the drive might break the wakeup.

I think people are sleeping on GLM.

Tried it out recently and I like the results a lot so far.

GLM4.5 and 4.7 was good already, now they released 5 and 5.1 https://github.com/zai-org/GLM-5

It says it’s for vibecoding but I use it like I would use chatgpt and it gives useable ansers to all of my varied questions. (ofc. you always have to check for correctness, even if it’s correct most of the time, which I do cause I’m paranoid)

I guess the only downside is how frigging huge it is.

You’re weak!

WTF do you mean your hands are tired? Pathetic!

I do 8 hours of dev, then 2 hours of outdoor rockclimbing and 6 hours of intense competitive video gaming every day and I can still play guitar afterwards.

Go eat some protein and build up some stamina.

least they can do

no, no, no

least would be 0. Capitalists can always do 0.

tldr:

flatpak - good

linux people arguing over other ways to package and distribute - bad

It’s a minimal alternative pinterest frontnend.

Don’t forget the most important part - by attacking you make money in proportion to the amount of people affected.
