Uft. Jesus. I'd have to think about it for a while.
Does Linux have an equivalent of Windows Powertoys Fancyzones?
Equivalent to Eartrumpet?
I mostly use FOSS software anyway, so stuff like Libreoffice, GIMP, OBS, that shouldn't be much of a problem.
Idk. I think the biggest issue will be figuring out how to set up my workflow again. I rely heavily on FancyZones to keep my desktop legible. I'm very fond of rainmeter. But I suppose for a lot of it I'll just have to fuss with it until it feels right.
Part of my concern is it seems like most things I'd want are doable, but there's a lot of hoops to jump through. Like I have an Azeron Cyro mouse bc I was concerned about RSI. Works great, most comfortable mouse I've ever used, but it sounds like to get it to run on Linux you need to run a windows VM, a macro program, and a couple of other things. In windows I just plug it in and use the keymapping software that comes iwth the mouse.
Sorry for jumping into another thread but I think I can help with some of these
Depending on what you use it for a tiling window manager might replace it, or KDE plasma has similar functionality built in I believe
I think Pulse Audio Volume Control does everything Eartrumpet does, it comes default with some distributions or you can install the package
pavucontrolIf I understand what fancyzones is, I think people make plugins for gnome and kde that are like Fancyzones. There's also entire window managers that are like scriptable fancyzones. I'm talking about tiling window managers like awesomeWM and i3. They're pretty technical but some people really like them.
One of my concerns is how often "Scripting" comes up in explaining how things work. I've never been good at even basic scripting. : p
Well my mom uses linux without any scripting skills at all. I was just saying that this thing goes as far as you want to take it.
