imo the linus disaster was an unfortunate combination of

  • the unpatched pop_os issue
  • linus going TLDR (reasonable but that's on him)
  • apt messages generally being long
  • linus not having a frame of reference on which long message is good (apt upgrade listing 50 updates) vs which are bad (apt install saying his DE is about to be nuked)
  • and yes, him playing it up for the video, and willingly ignoring his gut feeling that typing "yes, do as I say" can't be doing anything good

in the end i still think it was kinda irresponsible for linus to publish that, but the whole premise of the video was them going blindly into linux (which i also disagree but whatever)

machines are the ones full of weird jibber-susceptible things, the default state for everything is jibbered until dedicated people decide to spend their time unjibbering

seems cozy. you can sit on the top of stairs but with your back against a wall, so there's no one coming up behind you

in this case, you'll probably have to create a desktop entry in ~/.local/share/applications/ydotoold.desktop

something like

[Desktop Entry]
Name=ydotool daemon
Exec=the command you used to launch
Type=Application

you can look at other .desktop in the same directory for reference

as far as i can tell, those keybindings are handled internally, they don't invoke shell commands

you can use something like wtype or ydotool to send keybindings from kdeconnect

seems to me he's trying to be more general than the Search example and considering that another complex project may actually have those problematic cases

i mean, he doesn't even dismiss the patterns with code duplication, just lists it as a drawback, which agrees with his conclusion that there's no one-size-fits-all solution
