ohno

my new laptop is HiDPI

my external displays are FullHD

Linux

suffering

I guess I can either set the laptop to lowdpi and deal

or set up Wayland and Sway and uh

that sounds like pain

full marks to Sway – they get as close to a drop-in replacement for i3 as possible. I expected lots of config changes, but the only things I had to touch were things they can't change (have to set up some input and output config, changed startup etc).

super impressive and rare to see something live up to the drop-in replacement claim, very cool

#sway #i3 #i3wm

@rixx worked for me also surprisingly well, like a lot, would recommend.
Kanshi for different display setups is nice but I need to run it manullay once after reboot.
Also Wayland + keepass autotyping (into terminal, popups and websites) is actually an unresolved problem on my system.
@smtw I use pass, and I had to look around a bit for an input thingie because rofi-pass seems dubiously maintained, but there turned out to be an up-to-date working fork. Now I only need to fix screenshots/screen recordings and I'm all set, I think.
@rixx screenshot / screenshare: not yet tested....
Pass: I see, will play around.
@smtw My screenshot workflow is basically "press shortcut, select area, image is saved to screenshots directory with timestamp filename and also uploaded to my filebin, the filebin url is put in my clipboard", which is very handy, and I've got it working again: https://github.com/rixx/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/screenshot-filebin
