It's best not to yuck someone's yum

It's just so friendly and interactive

I tried this beta release out, and I have to say that I'm struggling to say it's an improvement. I know that there are good changes, but meta+left/right can no longer move windows between monitors, the inputcapture changes for wayland don't seem to be working which was my most anticipated feature, and the x11 spin actually has a regression that causes input-leap to enact my global shortcuts when my mouse is on a client device. Overall big struggle from someone who has to do a lot of multitasking.

I actually took some older now somewhat defunct google wifi pucks and got them all set up on openwrt not too long ago. Really enjoy having them on something with a dedicated web UI and perfectly nerdy

Winget would have been a better one here

Gotta set your sudo editor environment variable

works with vim but never tested on vi

So I personally use two computers on a daily basis, a personal desktop I use all day long, and a laptop I use during work hours. Both are running Linux with pipewire and the pipewire-pulseaudio extension. I do my best to keep everything work related on the work device and everything personal on the personal device, so discord chats with friends stay on the personal machine etc. I occasionally need to participate in work meetings and the like, so I would like my audio interface to be shared between the two devices. Turns out this is exceptionally simple.

On my "host" machine with the audio interface I always use I have a pipewire config file at /etc/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/50-network-party.conf that contains

context.exec = [
    { path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-native-protocol-tcp listen=0.0.0.0" }
    { path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-zeroconf-discover" }
    { path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-zeroconf-publish" }
]

And on my work laptop I similarly just load the module-zeroconf-publish module. Once that's done all of my desktop's audio devices show up on the work laptop and I can set them as my defaults, and everything just works! Didn't even require installing any extra software or anything, both systems worked out of the box when I learned about this module.

As for using my desktop's audio devices for my phone, turns out pulseaudio also supports connecting android devices using a2dp and simply pairing my phone and computer had my phone streaming its audio to my desktop and using its microphone for calls. Honestly wish I'd looked in to this sooner, having everything going through my desktop's audio setup is so nice.

Pulseaudio's networked audio devices are sick, and similarly getting your computer's headphones/mic on your phone by just connecting your phone to your computer over bluetooth is fantastic.

On a ship nonetheless

It can exist without ads, and does, but not everyone is willing to compensate his time and effort with money

They're competing for GotY, probably the only reason they're getting compared.
