tell me the most ass over backward shit you do to keep your system chugging?
here’s mine:
sway struggles with my dual monitors, when my screen powers off and back on it causes sway to crash.
system service ‘switch-to-tty1.service’

[Unit]
Description=Switch to tty1 on resume
After=suspend.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target

‘switch-to-tty1.service’ executes ‘/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh’ and send user to tty1

#!/bin/bash
# Switch to tty1
chvt 1

.bashrc login from tty1 then kicks user to tty2 and logs out tty1.

if [[ "$(tty)" == "/dev/tty1" ]]; then
    chvt 2
    logout
fi

also tty2 is blocked from keyboard inputs (Alt+Ctrl+F2) so its a somewhat secure lock-screen which on sway lock-screen aren’t great.

    I’m not even sure what that would do! Presumably list every time the word alias appears in every file across the whole home directory or something like that?

        Alright, I’m gonna try it and see how long this takes!

        edit: about 8 minutes. Not as spectacular as I’d hoped lol

          If you have games there, yeah. Ripgrep is way faster. But grep is good enough in most cases.

          Btw, did you find your aliases?

            I did! I know where they are and which scripts they point to, but as for going into the scripts and trying to remember what they’re actually doing… I’ll get to it some day lol
