@trofi how is your #Niri experience now, you are dailydriving it, right?

I was a #KDE user for some time, then I briefly went to #GNOME and then I wanted to try something else. so driftWM and Niri I saw first;

#driftWM - for me turned out to be totally unusable. more time spent to place windows and to find them than actually doing work (and I am a magic #trackpad user, so IDK what was that. still have hopes I will give it another go)

for Niri - this my daily now, I was using it with #swaybar, but after some time and custom solutions switched to #noctalia shell. and it's not bad! some resources overhead, but otherwise cool. still using the swaylock with it though and not using many of its features.

and thanks for monitor-power-off action - will longer life of my corporate machine :)

Framework wants its Wireless TouchPad Keyboard to be a better keyboard for your living room

Most modern laptop computers have trackpads below the keyboard. But if you’re using a desktop computer (or a laptop positioned so you can use it like a desktop), then odds are that you use a mouse and keyboard.

That’s not the ideal setup for every situation though. When you’re sitting on your couch and interacting with a PC connected to a TV, for example, you might want a small wireless […]

I designed a new small keyboard with an included trackpad for easy mouse inputs. It's called Mausi and of course fully open source. More info on my blog https://ncxy.de/projects/mausi/

I never knew that the Magic Trackpad could do haptic feedback on anything other than click...

... I discovered this when setting up Zen browser. It was the same effect that you get when adjusting some controls on an iPhone

Why don't more apps do this? It was fun!

I saw an Explaining Computers video about the Peripad-506 trackpad, and while he cautioned that not all features were working outside of Windows, enough of it worked in Linux that I wanted to get it, as I need something gentle on the hand at the moment. I'm happy to report that it just works great in KDE. Maybe it is better supported now than when he tested it; gestures, 2- and 3-finger taps etc. work great, and I'm using it on a tablet that already has a trackpad, but they show up as separate trackpads that let me define sensitivity and preferences for each one. This is just lovely. #linux #accessibility #trackpad #peripad506
