I came across something recently that basically stressed the importance of understanding the tools you use on a daily basis to get the most out of them. It suggested that you need to get familiar with the primary sources of docs as well and not just distilled summaries that hold your hand and give you a generic solution to one particular problem your trying to solve. With that in mind, my reading list lately has been the official docs for #neomutt, #irssi, #i3wm, #opnsense, #tmux. I think this is more important than ever when it's so easy to use an #llm to search for information.

Something I miss from #Tiling wms/compositors like #i3wm and #sway when I'm on #KDE:

I use #Yakuake on KDE #Plasma to have a terminal that's easily accessible, but stays out of my way when I don't want to see it.

On tiling setups, I use disappearing windows (I forget the actual name of the feature) that will pop up when I hit super+-, appear one at a time, and then disappear.

Yakuake lets you do tiling as well within its window, but I kinda miss the ability to cycle through a bunch of windows very easily. I mean, I've got the keyboard shortcuts set up very nicely, so it's just F12 to make the window appear and disappear, and then control+tab to cycle through tabs or control+pgup/pgdown to jump between panes, but somehow the tiling setup is just a bit easier to do. Less thinking, just super+-. ;)

I don't know if I'll continue to use tiling setup too much longer, though. It's too aggravating to figure out how to get the occasional gnome program to work properly. There's always some kind of fancy library initialization that I fail to get right. It's easier to just use a DE and whittle it down to nearly tiling levels of productivity.

Been tweaking my #Rofi theme, because it was rainy and I was too knackered to do anything else useful today. Rofi is an application switcher and more (calculator, character picker, launcher, weather widget, etc.). It is used in minimalist window managers like #i3wm, instead of a top-bar, dock or Start™ menu.
I used to use #Litestep on Windows, and using i3 and Rofi to DIY my own graphical shell feels similar.

I'm gonna list out my interests, and there's a ton of 'em. Classic autism move, getting obsessed with weird topics that stick with you forever.

Heads up, #Fediverse, you might lose it when I drop 100+ hashtags in one post. That's just how autism rolls I guess.

Yeah, I know it's a lot. But that's the beauty of an autistic brain I guess, we go deep on what fascinates us.
