handWavey VS silverblue-site

Shameless self plug: handWavey is a tool that I wrote to control your computer using a leap motion controller. I've put a lot of time into making it practical for real world desktop usage as well as some underserved accessibility use-cases, and I absolutely love it. And I still have a lot more that I want to do with it. You can see handWavey in action here.

Have you played with any leapmotion based solutions? I wrote handWavey which gives you the ability to control the mouse and keyboard by moving your hands like in minority report. There's also a foot gestureLayout, which is highly experimental, and not ready for daily use, but might give you ideas.

I'm really interested in this as well. I think I'm missing a lot of opportunities. Like a few months ago, I released handWavey, which I think is fricken cool I posted it in a small number of places, and then just continued to work on it quietly.

hands/arms don't work? Try the foot gestureLayout. (This layout is a proof-of-concept, and is highly experimental. I don't recommend it, for now, but it shows what can be done if there is interest from people who would benefit from it.)

The important thing is that the gestures are completely configurable. And everything assumption/"that seems right" is configurable. I've gone into more detail about this in the main video. I've also provided some examples and documentation. You'll see that I've even made a gestureLayout for operating it entirely with your feet. I don't recommend it (it needs much more development, which could happen if there is interest), but it works. With that gestureLayout, I've make the left click happen by simply moving your primary foot through to the "action zone". But you can add your secondary foot to perform a right click, middle click, or scroll.

Fedora Silverblue - pretty well-known at this point, but it’s championing immutability

Couldn't have said it better!

An example of an installable immutable OS is Fedora Silverblue. Notably, you can change the "distro" flavor of Silverblue to try out KDE and then just flip back to Gnome. Each change is seen as an "update" that just moves you over to the new GUI. The article below explains a bit more.

I guess something like Fedora Silverblue might offer you something (to paraphrase) "stupid proof". For example, in this case the rpm-ostree rollback command would have been sufficient. Disclaimer: rpm-ostree builds images, therefore it's by necessity slower than apt. Futhermore, until this change is merged and deployed you'd have to reboot for the changes to apply. You might want to look into Distrobox as well, perhaps it can solve your problems without having to change your distro.

However, I'll add one more that I'm especially fond of. It's one of the most 'stable'\1]) Linux desktop systems\2]) without sacrificing access to the latest kernel-updates and packages. It comes bundled with everything\3]) necessary for productivity right out of the box and is built on top of the fundamentals laid by Fedora's Immutable Desktops. Allow me to introduce uBlue; I know that I'll undersell it regardless, so I recommend you to check the provided link instead.
