So I use ElementaryOS and in version 7 you are no longer able to map just the Eject key. I like to map this to the Multitasking View (something like the macOS Expose).
The solution is to use the DConf Editor application and search for show-desktop. ElementaryOS repurposes the show desktop to the multitasking view. Simply set the value to ['Eject']
Alternatively you can set the left-super key (windows/command) to the Multitasking View. This seems better supported.
I prefer my dock on the left side of the screen and the new elementaryOS 8 Wayland compatible dock's design is to explicitly not support that. This is because the dock is visible in the workspace switcher and allows the user to drag windows to other workspaces using the dock.
I use pyenv to manage python versions for my projects, and use poetry to manage project dependencies. Poetry was unable to find the latest python version, and insisted on creating virtual envs with system python.
Setting up Bonjour / Zero configuration networking using #OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is a little bit more involved than with some other #linux distros such as Ubuntu. It consists of setting up the avahi service, followed by configuring the firewall.
I'm testing a fully local, Linux-native meeting minutes pipeline that replaces tools like AI meeting notetakers with a privacy-preserving, scriptable workflow. Unlike some other options the control is with the user and no information leaves the local machine. #linux
Although it's not supported I used this guide to semi automatically upgrade my daily driver.
I upgraded one of my personal Ubuntu servers yesterday and with the knowledge of a good daily backup I knew I didn't have to prepare and see what I would encounter. This particular server has upgraded twice before, so has some custom and legacy configuration. After the third try I was successful and I wanted to share the following tips that helped me smooth out the upgrade process.
x86 games, like Championship Manager 01/02, might not install on this OS which cannot install wine32 due to system conflicts. This means apps like Bottles (Wine wrapper) cannot select a working Wine version.
Tried 1Password for SSH keys and Git management (keys in 1Password, authentication via agent + desktop prompt before access, and 1Password must be running) and not a fan of more red tape around the SSH keys. Non-interactive processes just fail to use the key first-time round, so I ended up having to commonly do operations twice. Easy restore from a BackInTime backup. #security #linux
I've updated my one stop system update script to remove unused Flatpaks. #linux #projects
