Possibly my light/dark mode scripts. They change my Plasma theme, which is honestly most of the job, but also set the matching GTK theme, set the new theme in running Konsole sessions, do a bunch of manual sed edits on conf files for applications that don’t follow system theming, finally restarting plasmashell to clean up the occasional edge case where a tray icon is supposed to follow the theme but doesn’t.

FreshTomato still supports these devices.

It’s not for everyone, but if “collection of perl scripts” sounds like your jam, GnuPod still works for a CLI option.

I don’t think these things are universal across software, but you can often put -f on its own, separate from other flags, or get in the habit of using the long --force flag.

Too many options to remember and look up every time

This is a good use case for shell aliases. If you can identify a few of your use cases, you can give each bundle of options its own command.

Ctrl+F’d for this.

I’m not sure if you can show/hide like that, but as a workaround you can toggle auto-hiding with a qdbus command, and set a keyboard shortcut to run that.

I think OP said

if a window is fullscreen

as opposed to simply being maximized.

That’s awesome, I didn’t realize that ResidualVM had merged with ScummVM.

Don’t miss this entire genre: classic LucasArts point-and-click adventure games! Sam & Max Hit the Road, Full Throttle and Monkey Island are a few of the stand-outs for me, and they all run on Linux via the amazing ScummVM.

Skipping the OS backup is reasonable, but you probably want to at least save a package list. Add something like dpkg -l > ~/packages.txt to your backup script.

I’d add Quod Libet as another solid GTK pick, though I’m happily using it on KDE.

Excellent point, huge risk of both!

This may depend on browser but you can double-tap a paragraph to quickly zoom the page so the text is full-width. Of course there’s also pinch-zoom or reader mode…

The color screen of e-readers is too dark for me and substantially lacks contrast. It’s very noticable. The layer for pen recognition already makes the screen darker, but the color display is adding a lot more to the darkness and lack of contrast.

There were a handful of reasons I returned mine, but this was the biggest one. Color eink isn’t ready yet, and the limited color palette wasn’t even the worst part… it was the dark screen. Needing to use the backlight so often is just disappointing, and turning it on negates all the good stuff about eink, making you feel like you’re using a really shitty tablet. Maybe things will be better in a generation or two, but if you need color you might as well get a conventional tablet.

Oh, good point. If I was being brand-proper I’d spell it “reMarkable”… but, lol, not doing that.

Settings/customizations file for legendary text editor vim. Remarkable’s comes with a lot of stuff built-in.

I was referring specifically to Remarkable-brand devices… but Kobos are nice too, with that company also being indifferent to aftermarket hacks.
