Never messed with #WSL, does it give you the capability run a full-on WM the way we could with #cygwin? I used to use it to run #enlightenment on my #Windows computer at work.

@asdasd201 Sounds to me like yer gonna do just fine. 🤘

@asdasd201 The sad reality is that you will likely have no choice but to use AutoCAD since that’s what your instructor wants you to use. Even if you are able to use something free/open, there is always a chance that something in the file will render incorrectly when loaded into AutoCAD.

The best thing (I think) you could do is do the assignment in both #AutoCAD, and #CAD software of your choosing be that #FreeCAD, #QCAD, #blender, #LibreCAD, or something else with which I’m unfamiliar. After class, speak with your instructor and teach them that these things can be done using #FOSS solutions as well, could be they don’t even know. Worst that happens is you’ll have taught yourself how to do the same thing in different software. Everything that was taught (that I can recall) in the #drafting classes I took 30 years ago can be done in any of the softwares I mentioned, but I’m sure things are a bit different these days.

It’s quite irresponsible of educational institutions to push students into specific software, versus teaching concepts which can be translated across multiple. Teaching students only about expensive licenced software (regardless of providing free student licences) over the concepts used to accomplish the task, promotes ignorance over education, and encourages software pirating.

Never tried it, but couldn’t you set normalization in mpv.conf? The android version does allow you to add your configs there.
@lost_faith

@Geodes_n_Gems 良かった! Glad you found somethin that works fer ye!

@Geodes_n_Gems
#ibus #anthy is always a solid choice, that’s what I’ve used for years. If for some reason you can’t use ibus, #scim had been my goto for the past couple decades.

these days I’ve been using #fcitx5 with #mozc on #hyprland and find it quite nice, feels very familiar.

@alexei_1917
Of course there is only one that can be considered “the best”, it’s the one that works best for you. Everyone should try a different UI from time to time; who knows, you may find somethin better’n the best. You may also learn that people who use “that one” ain’t as dumb as they look. 😆

…oh, and the correct answer is #e16 🤘

@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.

@BCsven
This is so much less helpful than just posting “I don’t know” or “beats me”.

First, if you’re gonna post code, put it in a code block. And nevermind you not knowing if the ““code is good””, it doesn’t even adhere to the question that was asked; the two programs you suggested are not even wayland compatible tools.
@null_dot

@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.

@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. 😆
