@scottjenson Great presentation, thanks! Very motivating! I see a #Gnome sticker on your laptop, so I assume you've been discussing with @gnome about this?

Gnome 3 got really bad press when it was released, but I feel like it's trying to do things differently and it mostly works.

P.S.: for the drag and drop thing, I learned (via trial and error) that you can `Alt+Tab` while dragging files, so you can bring back the focus of the window you want. Not ideal, I admit… :)

I think I need to find a replacement for Scrivener. It runs *okay* in Linux, but there are some real issues.

No need to give me links to other Scrivener-like programs. I'm aware of them.

But if you write long-form in Linux, what do you use and *why*? I'm really curious about that.

Is there an easy way to automount #NextCloud?

After connecting it through the #GNOME Settings, I would like the storage to be automounted.
Currently, it only mounts on demand when I try to access it via Nautilus.

Oh thank $deity I can still launch #Chrome with --ozone-platform=x11 even though the configuration flag has been removed. Because #Wayland breaks *so many things* for me.

Surely I'm not the only one seeing dropdowns, tooltips etc. render in top-left corner of my screen under Wayland?
