  • Gadget bridge doesn’t really work for any “new” (i might be wrong here) devices.

    Most newer Garmin devices should work since 0.82 (and earlier with nightly). It’s not feature complete compared to using Gadget Connect but should be enough for most use cases, unless you really care about the social/awards aspect and some of the deeper metrics (although if you’re handy with SQL you can handle that yourself).

    Not being able to set an event date and have “daily suggested workouts” follow that is my only annoyance, although I’ve been happy just using the defaults for now.
















  • that I put on a SD card for my phone

    Pretty soon you won’t be able to buy a phone without expandable storage. On the plus side, internal storage is going up, but it’s still not big enough to hold a complete FLAC collection if it’s a reasonably large library. You can re-encode your library just for phone usage, but that’s a bit annoying to maintain.

    Also, I’ve found all of the offline music players on Android kind of suck, and don’t support the workflow I like or have bugs.



  • Linux currently doesn’t have a concept of “exclusive fullscreen” in the way that Windows does. A new wayland protocol can probably resolve this, although I’m not sure if any work has been done for that yet.

    You could do it manually though most likely by having a script check if the current window is fullscreen (which you can do with sway/wlroots easily at least) and then apply the change. But there would be some false positives where you might not want the behaviour (like a video player), although if you’re watching high resolution/high framerate content it would be useful.
