  • I’m not the OP, but tbh the only thing that doesn’t work for me is the apps that replace your input by the same thing in another layout.

    For example, you have 2 keyboard layouts, type something and realize afterwards that you forgot to change the keyboard layout. You press the hotkey to trigger a script that removes your input, translates it into a different keyboard layout and pastes it back.

    People who only use 1 keyboard layout don’t even think about this issue and usually don’t know such software exists.

    I miss it a lot. There’s 1 script that works in wayland but it’s pretty buggy and it’s not in arch repos, so I don’t trust it too much. X11 had many options.








  • This is an excellent answer and I wish I knew all of this when starting to use archlinux. “Arch does not support partial upgrades” is something you can read everywhere, but it’s rare to find such a good explanation of what exactly a partial upgrade is, and which commands lead to it.

    I only learned about all of this when I got into some broken state by randomly running pacman commands.

    Everyone, be like this guy. This guy explains stuff well. Newbies need stuff explained.
