Idle & Lock screen configuration in nwg-shell
The latest nwg-shell-config update brings a new tab, to configure idle and lock screen settings. Under the hood, it provides the nwg-lock command, which is a wrapper around gtklock or swaylock. It adds a random image background, either local, or downloaded from https://unsplash.com. You may also display an overlay window to control mpris media player with playerctl.

Is it possible to use terminal or ncurses output elsewhere?
Yes it would be possible to pipe the output into a script/program and parse it to extract the information, but in my opinion not the best solution. Instead you can query information from media players that support MPRIS https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MPRIS via tools like playerctl https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl

Is there an easy way to Pause media over ssh?
I think both firefox and vlc support MPRIS, which can be controlled from the command line using playerctl, if you have that installed: ssh name@host playerctl play-pause

mpsyt + cvlc, control via shortcuts
VLC (and therefore cvlc as well, I suppose) can be controlled via MPRIS (using playerctl, for example).

What are some of your self made scripts that you're proud of
My super-duper simple playerctl script that works flawlessly for years to prioritize my media keys to work on Spotify or ncspot over anything else. If I'm listening to Spotify or ncspot, why do I need to control any other stuff with my media keys, right?! Without it, if I have any other mpris player open, which can be a lot of things some not even related to media, my keyboard media keys won't focus on the music players I use for actually listening to music. ncspot doesn't respond to playerctl --player=ncspot play-pause, so I have to detect if it is playing or paused, so I can run playerctl --player=ncspot play or playerctl --player=ncspot pause separately. Script.

Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)
Android on the desktop works very well on Wayland with Waydroid and it even supports Google Play store. https://waydro.id/
Great running apps not available on Linux with a touchscreen PC. It only seems to run Android apps compiled for x86, but it is very fast.
There are practical use cases, and it is very usable. I haven’t tried it on WSL2, but it seems like a practical approach without reliance on Microsoft.

Sxmo: Linux tiling window manager for phones
There's a piece of software called Waydroid[1] that allows you to run Android applications on GNU/Linux platforms - including the PinePhone. Sxmo, despite its name, can run Wayland instead of X and therefore supports Waydroid.
Personally, I haven't managed to get Waydroid to work, a task hindered due to some massive initial downloads which are required to set it up. However, I haven't tried particular hard, and there are videos online by those more successful than me[2].

Can I view Waydroid on a different display on a VNC viewer?
I have setup an Arch linux server on my old pc. i mainly use it for plex, transmission, docker etc and it works pretty well! I wanted to install Waydroid https://waydro.id/ on that server. Is there a way that I can view waydroid using a VNC viewer on my laptop on the same network? is it possible or would I have to install a GUI like xfce before installing waydroid to view the same on tigervnc or some other VNC viewer? Thanks & regards.

Run Firefox on ChromeOS
> I run Fedora Linux after removing ChromeOS
Same here. Sometimes, it crashes on a measly 4 GB of RAM.
> (the only thing I'm missing is running Android apps)
I would recommend using Waydroid[1]. It runs fairly well in my use case, and runs LineageOS on top of it with the full LineageOS GUI.
