Can do homescreen icons. It has a widgets "pane". You don't place them on the home screen but put all widgets together than swipe to widgets. You can configure kvaesitso so it's not too different from stock android experience.

I have 5 "favorite" apps at bottom of screen, above the search bar, similar to stock android.

I swipe left for my app drawer, which allows for more pinned favorites above full list.

I swipe up for all my widgets.

Swipe down for notifications, like stock.

Swipe right for my camera app.

I too would be put off if it had to be used that way. But it can be used as a regular icon tapping launcher - it has a regular app drawer - which is how i use it. I don't think it should market itself as a "search-focused" launcher.

Kvaesitso has risen to the top as my favorite launcher after trying a ton of launchers.

It also does not lock the file, so functions well as a pdf viewer for latex on windows.

Does set-default-sink change an already current stream? Or do you need move-sink-input.

I've looked at the manpages but was a bit overwhelmed and didn't try to make my own script. Your solution gives me motivation to do so. I also use sway and pipewire. Though I use fuzzel for my launcher.

pavucontrol. I switch between usb headset and my external speakers all the time. Continually going to this gui is kind of annoying.

"Don't you know the Dewey decimal system?"

Sorry, stupid reference. In seriousness though, type in a topic into your library's search and start browsing, check out a few that seem useful.

I'm an academic and I find my University's library useful for finding knowledge on a new topic. If an introductory textbook exists on the subject, can be a good starting point.

For Most hobbies though, youtube is a great resource. I've gotten into woodworking and fishing, and youtube is a superb resource for information.

My first linux install was crunchbang. I don't remember why I picked it. Perhaps i liked the minimalistic look. Ended up not really liking openbox and I vaguely remember running into some problem with debian's old packages, though I honestly can't remember what. So I switched to ubuntu, which was great for me as a linux noob.

Super cool! Way many years ago i used powertab which was overshadowed by guitarpro. For whatever reason i preferred powertab, cause it was free? I don't really remember. Just did some searching and it looks like powertab lives on!

I'm jealous. I try to grow peppers every year. Everything except banana peppers die.

Well my fiance likes the cat even more than me, so she loves the ramp. The stone wall just outlines a yard. I didn't do the original landscape, but the backyard was sloped, so the previous owner flattened out a lot of it and then surrounded that part with the brick wall stone/things. You can see the max height of the wall, and that goes along the back fence (the side fence is pictured). I actually turned the back raised area into a garden several years ago, which was also a ton of work, because as I mentioned, the ground is like concrete, and I had to dig it all out and replace with nice soil.

It wasn't that expensive. Cedar fence posts and 2x4 are pretty cheap.
