gtk-rs: can't get window ID with command inside connect_show or connect_realize
In a gtk-rs application, I'm running a xdotool command to get the id of the application's window. I'm running the command in a connect_show closure (after the window has been shown):

My (challenging) experience building a window switcher for Ubuntu
Eventually, I needed to find the ID of windows, move them, and bring them to the front—I realized I couldn't do that with gtk-rs. I needed to interact with the window manager (X11 server). So from inside my application, I ran commands that called xdotool.

I cannot take it any longer, please, help!
You might be able to use audacity in the background by setting up an application launcher in the gnome panel that executes xdotool, which can send keyboard signals (like R for record) to running applications: https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool

Ask HN: What's Your Proudest Hack?
I often create screen recordings for my classes, but it's very boring and time consuming. I'm a perfectionist, and if I mistype a command I prefer to re-record everything. Moreover, every time one of the tools used in the videos gets a significant update, I feel compelled to redo the video.
I have started using xdotool [1] to create bash scripts that send mouse clicks and keystrokes to apps. Interleaving calls to xdotool with the "sleep" command [2] produce a convincing effect. If I need to redo a video to fix typos or after a program update, I just fix the bash script and restart the recording.
Alas, the only thing that is missing in my videos is the sound of keyboard clicks… But nothing is perfect!

Penguin, Chicken or Duck? (Eros, OC, Microsoft Bing AI Generated)
Arch is a popular Linux distribution(basically an os). Him saying that he uses arch is basically a joke that arch Linux users will always mention that they use the distro. (Also a penguin is also the Linux mascot)

Arch Linux bugtracker migration to Gitlab completed
Arch sends distribution news every week or so, usually in one or two paragraphs.
I've followed the gitlab migration and every package and distribution change that warranted community notification for more than a decade.
It's such an empowering feeling to have tracked all the changes to the distribution over a decade. The Arch maintainer culture has managed to provide consistent high quality communication and documentation.
Most of the news doesn't require action on my part regarding a subsystem or package I don't use. But they use the news channel sparingly and the distribution is minimal and clean. So news arrives only every other week or so and is succinctly written in one or two paragraphs.
It's a distribution for those who love precision and professionalism.

Can't "sudo pacman -Syu" (jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk are in conflict)

Thinking of learning Linux for a potential IT career, is it worth it?
Since you want to use Linux in your job function, I would suggest you start with Arch Linux OS. https://archlinux.org/ Arch linux and arch based linux's like Manjaro, start you off in teaching you linux by making you install it and do everything from the command line. Nothing gets installed unless you want to install it. They have an extensive Arch Wiki that will walk you through anything you might need to learn.
