    A relationship that forces you to use a GUI when you already live in CLI is a textbook example of a toxic relationship.

    I made a really cozy and usability-focused setup like 10 years ago, and since I made it with NixOS+home-manager I’m just carrying it over with me. It is going strong after three device swaps, two moves to a new country, and meeting a partner, with some minor changes (i3 -> sway, Nord theme -> custom base16-based, pulseaudio -> pipewire, etc)

    I don’t get it. Is it saying that when you’re single you have time to tweak and fiddle your desktop, when you’re in a relationship, you don’t and just use the default?

        huh. i have the left monitor desktop customized to my liking, my wife has the right one customized to her liking. we have shortcuts on each screen to make it the primary monitor depending on who’s using it.

          Would you mind sharing a bit more about your setup and how y’all use it? I’m just curious, not gonna give any unsolicited advice

            it’s been so long since i set it up i don’t remember much. it’s a windows machine, i had to download a utility so i could set up a batch utility to change my primary monitor without going into settings.

              I see. I misread your original comment and I thought that somehow both of you could use it at the same time
