I've been tempted to try doing this myself, but plastic bags are almost becoming a bit of a rare item here, so my family's intent on keeping them for more normal plastic bag usage, haha

I have some irreparable clothes I could totally turn into T-shirt yarn, though!

 

I've been having problems for a bit now where I'll have my screen shut off on me due to incorrectly being considered idle when doing a variety of things, chiefly when an emulator is focused and my computer is only receiving any inputs from a controller via xinput (only mouse and keyboard inputs seem to be considered when determining whether the user is idle), or when I've got something like VLC focused and am watching a video and not touching any sort of input device at all. I'm looking for some way I can have idle timing take into account xinput inputs (something I imagine will probably be more broadly Linux related) as well as things like either video playback or when I have certain programs focused such as VLC or emulators like bsnes and Dolphin (which I imagine might be more reliant on awesomewm itself). I've tried looking but thus far have only encountered instructions on broadly changing how long until the screen suspends with xset, which doesn't really solve the issue as I'm likely to have my screen shut off on me still anyways if I do that, it'll just be a lot longer into i.e. a gaming session or watching a video or something that it'll happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there's a relatively obvious awesomewm Lua scripting thing I'm failing to consider.

Honestly, even as someone who's big on only ever using Linux and never having to use Windows as my actual operating system ever again, I've spun up VMs running Windows so I can run Photoshop or something, because the Linux alternatives like GIMP really pale in comparison. Like, I actually hate using GIMP for some stuff at all.

At least in the case of Windows I can understand it, since its stranglehold on the OS market makes it so it's legitimately very, very difficult for people to switch since they'll often rely on Windows-only software that might also work poorly in Wine on Linux, if it works at all. My mom uses many such pieces of software for her job. Chrome though, it feels like there really is no real reason to keep using it other than plainly being stubborn and/or afraid of change. Chrome doesn't even barely have any real killer features other than Google having intentionally made using some of their services slightly worse to use on Firefox, which I would hardly call a "feature" either.

This UI already feels way better for reasons I can't even quite describe. Nice!
