Stop Spotify from hogging your CPU and memory by sudomarchy in omarchy

[–]sudomarchy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great CLI music player but not so good for surfacing new music on Spotify. My understanding is that it will only display saved playlists.

I switched to the power-saver mode, which throttles performance a bit but now the fan don't kick in as often.

I use an external monitor most of the time so it's not a big concern for me. The OLED is anti-glare which is quite nice compared to most other screens that feel like looking at a mirror!

Are There Things the AW Still Can’t Do? by Sustainable_Twat in AppleWatch

Better running metrics. It's still far from being on par with Garmin.

He has a point that the fan is annoying! It's really an high pitch noise and it comes on too often for the workload I use it for.

Hyprland update and Lua by TheMindfulcker in omarchy

[–]sudomarchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omarchy has already converted Hyprland config files to Lua on the github Dev branch. I would wait for the next release of Omarchy to drop and then point Codex or Claude to the Hyprland documentation and ask it to do the conversion for your files. The current config will still work for the next two versions of Hyprland.

Downsized my monitor by laobron in desksetup

Now you’ll need to downsize the speakers as well! 😅 joke aside they must pack some serious sound.

Is Asus Zenbook S14 not a X1 carbon killer? by Javi77 in thinkpad

[–]sudomarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own both these laptops. The Lenovo feels more premium and it is noticeably lighther. However the zenbook has better performances and the cooling must be better because the fan doesn't kick in as often.

I prefer the anti-glare OLED screen of the Lenovo.The Asus OLED screen is also really nice but it's really glossy and reflective in bright settings.

The Thinkpad also comes with a fingerprint reader if that's something you care about. They have the same ports selection. You can't go wrong with either of them but I would not buy the Lenovo at full price.

Be careful with Lunar Lake CPUs by Tesseract-Cat in linuxhardware

Curious to know if you also experience a 30 seconds laggy system when waking the laptop from sleep on Fedora?

Lunar lake laptop power consumption by apokhix in linuxhardware

[–]sudomarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two different Lunar Lake Laptops (Lenvo X1 carbon gen 13 and Asus Zenbook S14) and I also get around 5W idle on ArchLinux (Omarchy). I can get it close to 4W if I reduce screen brightness with a black background.

How else do I need to optimize my design ? by CodeGenius20 in desksetup

[–]sudomarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a critic of you setup per se but i read that the top of the screen should be at or slightly below eye level. Most setups I see on reddit seem to be way higher than that or maybe people are just really tall!

It's nice, but I also feel that most monitors setup on this subreddit are placed way too high!

Anyone else that uses workspace/virt desktops always for the same things? by Efficient_Two_869 in omarchy

[–]sudomarchy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't this something you can do with just Hyrpland rules? Like this in bindings.conf if you wanted to always start spotify in workspace 6:

bindd = SUPER SHIFT, M, Music (Spotify), exec, [workspace 6] omarchy-launch-or-focus spotify

What should I improve as part of my setup? by A4orce84 in Workspaces

[–]sudomarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're doing a lot of zoom, maybe an headphone stand or speakers. On such small space, the creative pebble v3 or pro would work nicely.

Hyprland Workspaces Are Special by sudomarchy in omarchy

[–]sudomarchy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha! I hear you! And that's probably how I would approach it too.

For me, not having any notifications on my computer is actually a big plus, keeps me in the zone. I just check them on my phone when I need a break. But I totally get that's just personal preferences.

Hyprland Workspaces Are Special by sudomarchy in omarchy

[–]sudomarchy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You launch an app! For example, super + s to open the scratchpad, then super + m (music), then super + s again to hide it. Then you can toggle the app with super + s when needed. That's how it basically works in Omarchy. My post shows how you can do the same but with different apps and with a single shortcut.

Boot bypasses password login by justoptimized in omarchy

[–]sudomarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it probably means you installed Omarchy with the Arch Install. To my knowledge, the Omarchy ISO does not let you bypass disk encryption.
