Plasma EOS: Why can't I enable DnD and how to I force disable all notifications forever

KDE-like automounting?
Here's the documentation to create an asynchronous monitor with pyudev. When a device is plugged in, use subprocess to run notify-send and send a notification through dunst with the proper parameters (search "do_action" in the dunst docs), so for example you can bind your left click to mount and your middle click to mount and open

Strange Blue push notification So guys, I need help. I don't really remember how this kind of push notification appeared on my Cinnamon here. Can you help me to put the default notification back?
The notification in your screenshot looks like dunst. Removing that notification server should bring back the default notifications by Cinnamon's own notification server (which, AFAIK, is built-in).

Waybar, how to show hour without leading zero?
GNU calls their extensions "equivalent to" things I'd have suggested trying ($_I or $-l), but I'm not sure if the equivalents are themselves GNU extensions, too. Regardless, reading this Waybar Github issue about %OI, I get the impression there was a regression at some point, in any case on March 27th 2022 someone says it "used to work fine until recently".

Persistent workspaces?
I think this has just been added to waybar (wlr/workspaces) to work in a similar manner to how it is in sway/workspaces. No need for fake empty terminals. Something was merged for wwlr/workspaces in the waybar github. See - https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/2089.
