  • I have a T560 and i run debian with sway. It serves the dual purpose of getting me more comfortable in the terminal (i even use power shell on my windowa desk top a lot more now), and it runs much better than KDE or gnome did. Im missing some obvious quality of life settings like easily adjusting the power settings (it never sleeps, just turns off the screen and locks). But again, im trying to get more comfortable using the terminal so for me its more of a “take the training wheels off” thing.





  • In case this thread turns up a google search, or anyone is keeping score, I think I more or less managed to achieve what I wanted by putting this is in my config:

    assign [class="Firefox-esr"]  "2"
    exec wezterm -e cmus
     exec swaymsg [app_id="org.wezfurlong.wezterm"] focus
     exec swaymsg move container to workspace "10"
     exec firefox
    

    the only thing i don’t love is that if quit cmus, it closes the window instead of bringing me back to the shell. maybe i have so chain commands or something, i don’t know. i’m happy to have made it this far. Another thing is I don’t know if it’s possible to distinguish between the specific instance of wezterm that’s running cmus, and the other one i want running on workspace 1.






    1. Identify the drives with the lsblk command.
    2. Run sudo mount <path/to/drive> <mount-point> Where path/to/drive is most likely /dev/something and mount-point is any directory you want but id recommend creating it in your home folder. Don’t include the angle brackets. You have to create the directory before you can mount the drive there.

    If you don’t want to do this every time you reboot, youll have to edit fstab like someone else said. Doing this a couple times will help you understand what fstab is actually doing.
