@Twakyr YES, I completely forgot about that, thank you @nyan! Definitely install equery, this is an invaluable tool.

@Twakyr I’ve been a hardcore gentoo user/fan for 20+ years, I thought I’d never be able to use anything else till I started playing with Nix this year. The granular configurability of each individual package has yet been unmatched for me in any other distro till Nix. For #gentoo though, I’d highly recommend taking great care in tailoring your /etc/portage/make.conf, setup /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf with sync-type = git, and use /etc/portage/package.{use,mask,unmask,accept_keywords} as directories for individual packages. I tend to keep a /etc/portage/package.mask/failed file for upgrade blockages fer me to unfuck after a emerge -avuDUN @world succeeds.

@communist @null_dot Hyprland has the screenshotting functionality builtin.

hyprctl dispatch capture window

@PiraHxCx
For viewing, yes. The command is called display.

@null_dot
Haven’t ever done this in wayland, but in X, I always used to xdotool to grab the title of the active window. I’d guess you could do the same using one of the wayland alternatives like ydotool, wlrctl, dotool, or whatever else is out there. And something like grim to grab an image of the window.

@PiraHxCx Unless something new has come along to beat it, #ImageMagick is prolly the best tool there is. It ain’t perty, but it does perty much everything you might ever need.

@mikrotik how much better yer network runnin with all them perty cable ties? 😆

I kinda like the security my floor-spaghetti provides 😉

@hexa @dontblink Thank you! Didn’t notice I grabbed the wrong bookmark.

@dontblink @Max_P I retract my “ideal” statement; this is the way to do it.

@dontblink I’d think #NixOS would be ideal for this task. As for hardware, any of the SBCs listed on their ARM page should do.

@brownmustardminion I think you’d be fine still usin swappy, just use it in a way that does what you need. I use maim piped to xclip as below, then I tie each of those cases to [PrScr] with different modkeys.

case "${1}" in
    area)     maim --hidecursor -s |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
    ;;
    savew)    maim --hidecursor -i $(xdotool getactivewindow) |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
    ;;
    savef)    maim --hidecursor |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png

@Teknevra Sounds like somebody’s found em a project to work on. 😆

@ackthxbye Maybe a bit further than you wanna go, but I can confirm that a keyboard running kmk works perfectly fine with games under wine. If you have a keyboard/mouse that’s able to be installed with CircuitPython, you’ll have the ability to assign more macros than you can count.

@merompetehla If you’re not running sid, do not look for install instructions on the sid page. If you’re on 12.6, that’s Bookworm (current stable name), look there for help with 12 stuff.

Best way to use the current #yt-dlp is to uninstall the one from the repo, and grab the current release from the github page and drop it in $PATH somewhere.

@petsoi Beautifully written perspective; the KDE Activities bit of that was my favorite! Multiple workspaces on a single monitor is probably one of my most advocated features. I’m telling someone about it at least once a week, even if it’s just showin em how to use the cut-down one on their windows machine.

@lemmyreader @cafuneandchill PostmarketOS in chroot in termux in waydroid on PostmarketOS 🤘

@lemmyreader @electricprism There is someone who managed to convert a proot-distro version of #alpine into a #pmos one. It’s not as great as it may sound though.

@LukeSky #lutris is good for more’n just games 😉

@7_Stipend_Jackal Not really sure what you mean by “like Localshare”. Is that a specific piece of software, or do you just mean sharing files between two devices on a local network via whatever protocol?

I’ve played around with croc a while back just to test, seems okay.

@Lem453 Everything on that page refers to configuration problems. Most of them inferring a misunderstanding (or complete disregard) of the requirements that need to be implemented prior to configuring suspend-to-disk in order for it to work properly. Both the gentoo, and arch wikis have very thorough instructions on how to successfully incorporate this feature.
