Also, I couldn’t launch a damn terminal because I didn’t know the app is now called “foot”. Jesus Christ what the fuck is even happening.<br/><br/>Ended up setting everything up with a bare bones sway install and at least that’s somewhat less annoying although it doesn’t seem to support my old monitor at home. And do I really want to buy a new one? Not really.<br/><br/>Also 45 minutes with this thing on battery and it’s down to 40% charge. Incredible. 2026-09-02T19:32:24Z
