• Hey! I made a small python script to periodically change the desktop background on Ubuntu 20.04LTS

  This is why I found variety which does the exact same thing though it also has some config options and the option to get different images from online sources. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wallpaper engine on Steam Deck Desktop Mode.

  There's a similar native Linux program called Variety that is likely easier to set up and use. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wallpaper engine alternative on Linux Mint

  I really like Variety: https://peterlevi.com/variety/ (I don't think you can grab animated wallpaper, but maybe you can). I actually use it to grab images from r/SkyPorn, r/EarthPorn, r/waterporn, r/DessertPorn & r/EarthPorn. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Got some questions before moving to linux...

  I am not familiar with that distro at all, so no idea. KDE Plasma is fine, I use it myself (with BSPWM as my window manager, but that's irrelevant). Source: about 1 year ago

• MacBook Setup - OS Ventura 13.1 - Samsung QLed 43” - VM: yabai - Terminal: Hyper

  There's a paradigm shift required for a lot of people to start using automatic tiling window managers. Yabai is basically a bspwm port for MacOS and it follows the rules of binary space partitioning. In fact, bspwm has a great diagram on its github readme that illustrates how it works. This will limit the number of windows you can have on any given desktop. To overcome this limitation you use multiple desktops. A... Source: over 1 year ago

  It’s night and day. I also combine a heavily customized NeoVim config (https://github.com/tomit4/notes/tree/main/nvim) with a tiling window manager (https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm), the espanso text expander (https://espanso.org/), Vimium in the browser (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/), and a 40% ortholinear keyboard(https://drop.com/buy/planck-mechanical-keyboard).
