Starting kanshi from sway
This works, but after a reload of the config the configuration is gone. Then I found this discussion and changed the line to:

Arch users belike
Kanshi is not exactly what you're looking for but i stumbled across this when I was writing the dynamic display configuration page.

Terminal font size on hidpi + normal display
You should use different scale factors on each monitor. You can do it in your sway configuration, or use something like kanshi that automatically applies different settings based on what is connected.
-
Inaccessible workspaces
If this fixes your problem you'll want to apply this fix: Disable Laptop screen upon closing screen. or you can use something like Automatic display profile switcher when you connect your external display to switch it to while also disabling your laptop screen.

How to toggle transparency and gaps? Preserve display configuration?
I also heard of kanshi for monitor configuration, but I believe there's an open bug where sway reload breaks kanshi config... which kind of defeats the purpose.
- Single Background / Multiple Monitors
-
Script for docked mode
kanshi should be able to do it.
-
Organising workspaces on multiple monitors
Assuming your connected monitors may change - you plug another one in and then you want to move workspaces the new output: kanshi can help you with that. You can tell kanshi to execute commands when it matches a profile.
-
Sway not picking the highest refresh rate available

Pinned post for common resources/problems/solutions?
I am just wondering whether it will be beneficial to have a pinned post with not only resources (e.g. the official System76 support page which many have ignored or simply don't know about!!, custom theme, snapshot support (timeshift, snapper), etc.) but also troubleshooting flowcharts/categories with common problems and potential fixes.

Advice for a newbie
Same ^ I switched my gaming / streaming PC over last year and haven't had a single issue (that I didn't create myself, lol). It's a remarkably solid OS. System76 also has a WEALTH of documentation for new and experienced users, including how to install Steam and Proton for gaming. Docs can be found here: https://support.system76.com/

Best practice for loud fans on a new Gazelle?
Remember you can also open a support ticket if you'd like someone from System76 to try and help determine what's causing the fans to spin up more than you expect. And you should not need to replace thermal paste on a brand new system, but you can see how the cooling system is laid out here: https://tech-docs.system76.com/models/gaze17/repairs.html#replacing-the-cooling-system
