From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ahh yeah, i heard nvidia can be a pain in the ass with sway/wayland. did you try sway when you still needed the
--my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidiaflag lol?but i remember reading about some new driver that made things much better... no idea though i've always been on intel-only laptops
never had any issues with that. although i don't think i even have anything going through xwayland at this point
zoom? or something electron-based?
i don't know the tool, but the readme sounds like evdoublebind might work, it's rock solid for me, replacing caps lock with escape on tap/alt om hold
i feel you. when i started out with sway i had this horrible hack running a vnc server and a x11 vnc client on the same machine because pre-pipewire browsers could only share x11 windows haha
but nowadays that works really well. only zoom is still a little annoying ux wise. sometimes their screenshare popup just disappears leaving me with no way to stop a share gracefully.
