I love EOS. I have both sway and plasma installed. I prefer sway, but sometimes I get frustrated with troubleshooting and I can use plasma as a safety net. I’ve only had to do it once, but it’s nice knowing it’s there.

Yeah, I just have one that launches blueman-manager. Not elegant, but works well. I only ever use BT on my laptop. So my desktop doesn’t even have it.
For music control I added a custom Spotify element to my waybar that shows now-playing, and lets me play/pause/skip/etc without having to go back to workspace 1. That’s all I need.
Tiling is just so nice once you get used to it. No more fiddling around with window placement.
I tried to do that when I started, but now it’s just habit. Super+Shift+# does most of the work.
My only complaint with the EOS configuration is the lack of Bluetooth on the bar. And the sound/screen brightness buttons don’t give any visual/audio feedback. I have some notifications imbedded, but they look and feel kinda janky compared to how nice and clean they are in Plasma.
Sway is it. I tried originally building it all up from scratch. It was fun, and taught me how all the pieces fit together, but now I just grab the EOS community dotfiles and make a few minor tweaks.
For me, it’s not a “workflow” that is sped up, it really just helps me remember where stuff “belongs”. Workspace 1 always has my Spotify, audio mixer, and discord/signal. Workspace 5 is gaming, etc.
Resizing and swapping window locations around is so simple with just super+mouse click/drag.
Yup. Hes a beast when he can play, but too much money for too much uncertainty.
Please keep McManus though. Being in kicker hell is no fun. Just pay the man.
Okay, well maybe it’s just me that’s the lazy one!
The community sway package for eos is so good that I pretty much gave up on my custom dotfiles.
Finally some meme recognition for those of us that want to be “cool arch users” but don’t want to spend any effort getting there!
(Fucking love EOS right now. )
I can respect it. I’m down with trying anything once!
Mix it up! I always did red sauce. But this experience changed me. I’m a green-first kinda guy now.
For the “beef”: 1C of TVP, soaked with 3/4C stock. Pan fry a whole onion, and a pint of mushrooms. Add as much garlic as you want (I use a whole head) Cook it down a bit, and dump it all into a blender. Blend it all up with a splash of water, a Tbsp of miso, Tbsp soy sauce, and all the seasonings you want. I use smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, etc. once it’s all blended up into liquid, add it to a big ass bowl with 2C vital wheat gluten, and add the TVP. Mix it all up into some gross raw hamburger looking shit. Let rest 15. Fire up the oven and 2 big cookie sheets lined with silicone mats or parchment paper. Rip the meat slop into as small of pieces as you can (nickel sized). Spread thin on the sheets and bake on convection 400ish for 20mins. Rotate top and bottom half way. Stir it up to get the crisp bits all around.
Then mix all the grilled onions/mushrooms/squash with the meat chunks. Wrap em up, stuff them in a pan, dump sauce on. Bake for 20 ish mins. Top with fake Mexican blend cheese, cook for 2 mins until melted.
Serve up with shredded lettuce, salsa, beans, sour cream, whatever you got.
yeah, it's .storage/
There's a bunch of stuff in there for sure, but nothing related to any of the add-ons. Some HACS stuff, some lovelace.config, but not a damn thing related to any of the containerized add ons.
