We talk a lot about comprehensible input and how good it is, but what is your method to reach a point where the input is comprehensible?
Flashcards. My favourite translation tool is translate-shell https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell which I use on Linux with a Bash script to copy all translations to a log. I have another Bash script to create a frequency list from this log. I then make flashcards from my most frequently translated words. Learning the words I've most often found incomprehensible naturally improves comprehension.

Microsoft Edge is an underrated language learning tool
My preferred translation tool on my laptop is Translation Shell https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell It takes longer to type or copy-paste words, but it has advantages in the custom Bash script I use it with (e.g. to send translated words to a text file which I use to make a frequency list). It's especially useful while watching videos, but I also use it while reading.

Transparent or/and non-interactive notifications
I currently use mako for the notifications. When I play Strategy Games (Mouse is all over the place) and a notifcation pops up, the mouse gets stuck on the notification message until I click it.

Any software that can get me pop up windows when doing certain stuff?
I use avizo as a volume indicator, mako for notifications generally.

Is there some app that lets you launch a simple text overlay?
I guess some standard notifications app like https://github.com/emersion/mako doesn't suffice, as it isn't related to a window?

Thoughts over MicroOS aftering giving a try
mako is a Wayland notification daemon from one of the principal Sway/wlroots devs, and is currently provided with openSUSEway. It's pretty minimalist, but so are most things in the Sway/wlroots ecosystem.

Notification daemon priority
Is there any way to force dbus to use a specific notification daemon? On one of my systems, I run both Plasma and Sway. The latter obviously doesn't have a notification system, so I'm using mako. As far as I can tell, mako automatically launches when a notification is fired, however this causes an issue with Plasma. Plasma seems to be shutting down its own notification daemon in favor of anything else that's running, and I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent it from doing that

Toggling floating windows for thunderbird notification
I don’t use Thunderbird, but does it support using FreeDesktop notifications e.g. that would work with Mako? Some applications will fall back to their own windows if there’s no notification daemon running.
What are some alternatives?
