Nice! More options for blocking ads is always welcome.

I haven’t tried any other add ons other than ublock, but I can confirm that it works on my iPhone 15 with recent iOS.

Just try looking at the same recipe page in safari and then again in Orion. Night and day.

Because if he was 15 he would be too mature to be a mod!

Ba-dum-tissssss

I now subscribe to this theory. Might dust off my old Reddit account and try to become a mod in my favorite subs so I can perma-ban all the top posters to jumpstart those communities in the fediverse…

I love EOS. I have both sway and plasma installed. I prefer sway, but sometimes I get frustrated with troubleshooting and I can use plasma as a safety net. I’ve only had to do it once, but it’s nice knowing it’s there.

Yeah, I just have one that launches blueman-manager. Not elegant, but works well. I only ever use BT on my laptop. So my desktop doesn’t even have it.

For music control I added a custom Spotify element to my waybar that shows now-playing, and lets me play/pause/skip/etc without having to go back to workspace 1. That’s all I need.

Tiling is just so nice once you get used to it. No more fiddling around with window placement.

I tried to do that when I started, but now it’s just habit. Super+Shift+# does most of the work.

My only complaint with the EOS configuration is the lack of Bluetooth on the bar. And the sound/screen brightness buttons don’t give any visual/audio feedback. I have some notifications imbedded, but they look and feel kinda janky compared to how nice and clean they are in Plasma.

Sway is it. I tried originally building it all up from scratch. It was fun, and taught me how all the pieces fit together, but now I just grab the EOS community dotfiles and make a few minor tweaks.

For me, it’s not a “workflow” that is sped up, it really just helps me remember where stuff “belongs”. Workspace 1 always has my Spotify, audio mixer, and discord/signal. Workspace 5 is gaming, etc.

Resizing and swapping window locations around is so simple with just super+mouse click/drag.

EOS btw.

Thanks man, I’ll pencil in a spot this weekend to give it another go. I’ll hit you up next week if I can’t figure it out. Thanks a lot. I love lemmy for this.

I guess so… it’s been a while since I tried it to be honest. I ended up just opting for an additional NUC to use as my media playing PC, but if I could combine that with my “server” NUC, it would give me more a reason to buy new, more powerful hardware 😈

Hmmm… I’ll have to try again. I don’t have a windows VM, so I’ve just been trying to pass through my MX Linux VM that I use for watching media. I’m not worried about the GPU, so as long as I can send the desktop to my display via HDMI, I’ll be happy as a clam.

Regarding your “desktop” setup. I tried to do this, and have one of my Cams inside proxmox pass the gui out via HDMI to my monitor, and I could not for the life of me get it to work. All the googling at that time said it doesn’t work, but might in the future. Are we in the future?

Same.

I dont do much customization, but the endevorOS community edition has decent defaults.

Just working cleanly with tiling feels so good. You dont have to use the mouse to move all the windows around. But if you hold the super key, you can just drag windows around to make a perfect layout. But often than not, i just want 2 windows side by side, with no wasted space. Done.

Can you still use KDE connect if my main WM is Sway?

Poor quality is fine, I really just want to catch a game or two that I’ve missed. Probably be listening to it more than actually watching. This looks perfect. Thanks!

Hmmm. I’m not familiar with mad titan. I haven’t been on the kodi train in a long time. Might be worth a look. Thanks!

Oh nice! That might end up being the solution then. Thanks for the reply

Damn. Looked perfect until I saw the date of the most recent replay: February 2024 (the Super Bowl)

I wonder if there’s a setting or filter I can’t see on mobile. I’ll check on my pc when I get home.

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve thought more on this yesterday, and I think my issue is-

I don’t want something that ‘just works’, I want to BUILD something that ‘just works’

The distinction is that I don’t want to buy premade solutions. I want to make them. Not because of the customizability, but because the fun is in the building. Think Lego- hundreds of people build the exact same product in the end, but why are they sold in pieces? Just assemble the damn things and sell them complete (with markup). You think more people wanna buy that?? I’d bet against it.
