We just need some enterprising person to add EGLStreams support for wlroots (this actually used to exist in old sway versions). I'm not sure they would accept such a PR though. It's pretty irritating though that nvidia doesn't work with the general purpose APIs.

I3: Improved Tiling Window Manager

Re: I3: Improved Tiling Window Manager
#452I used to be all in on Apple. On macOS I had a little program called Magnet to snap windows to sides and corners, and on my iPad (with external keyboard) I SSH’d into a VPS to write and run code there. I used Alfred and had all kinds of workflows in there. I thought it was great. But then during my AI studies I wanted some beefier hardware, which was just not affordable for me within Apple’s ecosystem, plus they only…
It took me about 2 weeks to get kind-of used to the different modifier keys, but it did not feel the same.
But the thing that made me switch back is when I was buying a laptop. I was set on not going with Apple anymore after my previous macbook screen died 2.5 years in and they were asking almost 1000€ to fix it. But I could not find an option that would match the 16" macbook laptop. I was considering the build quality, screen size and its resolution, battery life, usb type-c charger, trackpad experience and the overall software support that I will expect from a daily driver to do my web development work. I was seriously considering the dell xps 15 9500 that launched this year, but I saw a lot of feedback about generally poor battery life on linux and some cases of trackpad problems.
I was thinking about getting a second, cheaper device like System76 Pangolin and see how it works and use this as a transition to a different platform instead of going all in by immediately switching the daily driver.

What are you using as replacements for keyboard maestro and hazel?

Can also just use Zoom web client. But my guess is if you are in the position where you can use something like i3 for your daily driver, you are in the position to use something better than Zoom.
I’m curious what you have in mind as better than Zoom.
