Rethinking Window Management in Gnome
Just FYI the exact same thing is now also possible with AHK_X11 on Linux https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11
- Somehow AutoHotKey is kinda good now

Steam deck - Macros
If you can't get what you want via Steam Input, you'll have to go desktop mode with a full macro suite likeAHK_X11 or Keysharp.

Wine Wayland Driver
This falls right on time for my 2023 "Linux on the desktop" attempt! (now I wish https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11 had a Wayland option...)
I can't live without Office! My personal favorite is 2010 x64, as Word then starts faster than the current Wordpad.
Office 2010 works great in Windows 11, but there've been some suspicious move making me believe old office version will be given a poison pill or something under the plausible deniability of "security risks of 13 year old software", like how Outlook 2010 can't connect to outlook.com anymore (though it works great with gmail using google's GWSO plugin)
On MY computer, I run what I want. So I'll try Office 2010 in wine within Wayland.

Learning Linux: recommended resources
I want to switch, but the only snag is that I love AutoHotkey, and a Linux port is still in progress. I use AutoHotkey to make my keyboard and (especially) my mouse more useful. I could probably do the same things by other means in Linux—everything is customizable in Linux, after all. And anyway I might use my mouse less and less as I become more capable with the terminal. Still, I'll wait a while in the hope that I'll be able to more or less plop my AutoHotkey script into the Linux version.

AutoHotkey v2 Official Release Announcement
Check out https://bitbucket.org/mfeemster/keysharp/ and https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11, two attempts at porting AHK to Linux. The former isn't usable yet, the latter is by me and somewhat incomplete.

What's your current experience with WSL?
The only Windows-specific app I use is AutoHotkey, and I'm pleased to see that a Linux rewrite is in development 🎉 And wouldn't you know it, written in Crystal!

AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
AHK_X11 is AutoHotkey for Linux and it does not yet support Wayland, but it's definitely impossible https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11/issues/2 (see also: ydotool)

Marten, a Crystal web framework that makes building web apps productive and fun
I have recently learned to use it to create an AutoHotkey for Linux implementation (https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11), and it's been a delightful experience. If you like programming in Go and Ruby syntax, this will be your go to language. Other than that, it bears but few surprises, which I would consider a good thing. Its major downside is its compilation time and poor IDE support. Also, you should not be afraid to search through Crystal's GitHub issues or dig into the stdlib's source for more exotic use cases. However, the latter is as easily accessible as is your own code, and the community around Crystal seems quite friendly and welcoming. Contrary to sibling comments, I find it well suited for programs outside of web development as well.
And most of all, it's fast.

Bad Emacs Defaults
Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there.

Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing
I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file.
https://espanso.org/
It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your clipboard, so that can be incorporated into responses, which is simple but very handy.
A simple text replacement looks like this in the yaml file:
- Cannot get espanso to work on Debian 12 (stable)
