Barrier is only for inputs IIRC. To get Keyboard Mouse and Video (more usually KVM) you need some kind of remote desktop software. Rustdesk is pretty straightforward. I think Gnome handles RDP access natively now if you’re running a Gnome based Linux distro. Otherwise XRDP is a bit of a faff, but solid once it’s working.

I think this wiki cheetsheet will explain some of the defaults. Pretty much everything is controlled with a keybind using the meta/super (windows) key. Mod + d should open the launcher, I only used dmenu but yours might be something else. The launcher will let you launch applications by name. If you just want a terminal, Mod + Enter will open one.

You will want to look at your config. It should live in ~/.config/sway/config. If it’s not there then mkdir ~/.config/sway/ && cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/. That should list the keybinds you have set. You can look up the options in the man page for sway.

Once you can do some basic window control, you might want to customise the status bar. The config should tell you what bar is being used, but there are a huge array of statusbars to choose from - I used i3status-rust but try searching for i3/sway statusbars to see what’s out there.

Yeah, I really dislike snap and have puppet clean it out and add in the real mozilla repo for me. If I wanted sandboxed apps I’d probably look at flatpak but I think there’s still work to be done there also.

Yeah, I just liked that bit of the meme. In the prank the meme is based on, they really are the same.

Canonical added an epoch prefix to the firefox version number. Because that epoch (1) is higher than the implicit default (0), the official ubuntu dummy package is always considered to be a higher version than the official Mozilla package. apt doesn’t look at snap packages, it installs the deb, but the ubuntu deb just runs snap install firefox and basically nothing else.

w3m is a proper deb 😛

Looks like only firefox, chromium-browser and thunderbird are these dummy transitional packages. There’s a fwupd-snap, but the default fwupd is a full deb.

Yup, apt install chromium-browser calls snap install chromium. Looks like thunderbird is the same. There’s a fwupd-snap deb but fwupd seems to be the default.

Well, yes, except Canonical have made them actually do the same thing in the case of Firefox. I’m not aware of any other packages that have the deb install just run the snap install.

So both commands do the same thing… right? I’m not saying snap and apt are the same in general.

In Ubuntu they are the same. firefox version 1:1snap1-0ubuntu5 is a deb that literally runs the command snap install firefox in the preinst script. Check line 77 in firefox-1snap1/debian/firefox.preinst in the source tarball: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/1:1snap1-0ubuntu5

There’s no magic there.

83 Wooster Street New York. American buildings just be that way.

I think ICQ, AIM and MSN messenger are all dead now. WhatsApp works on Matrix via a bridge. Not sure about other platforms.

Kanata is an alternative (like KMonad) that I’ve heard good things about.

Or even zcat -f /usr/bin/zcat

       -f --force
              If the input data is not in a format recognized by gzip, and if the option --stdout is also given,
              copy the input data without change to the standard output: let zcat behave as cat.

I don’t know why this isn’t the top comment. I guess there might be some scenario where you’d want to know about non-gzip files where you don’t expect them so changing the defaults would probably cause some subtle breakage. For shell use though, just an alias could be used; alias zcat=gzip -cdf

“abbabba”

“abbabba” doesn’t match the original regex but “abbaabba” does

Have you tried sfc /scannow?

When in doubt - C4!
