Just three hours ago I switched back to Linux after a few years on MacOS. The only thing missing was the amazing text copy tool I was using, "Rex" [1]. What a coincidence to see this post on the front page a few hours later! Side note, what a breath of fresh air Gnome on Fedora is!

    Check out Textinator [0] which is an open source macOS app that watches for screenshots and automatically does text detection then copies text to clipboard. (Disclaimer: I'm the author). It works on macOS 10.15+ [0]: https://github.com/RhetTbull/textinator https://github.com/RhetTbull/textinator

It's obviously personal opinion, but I think you made the best choice! (Gnome on Fedora). Welcome back! It's remarkable how much more polished Gnome is from a few years ago. If you use 2FA TOTP, make sure to install Gnome Authenticator if you haven't already. If you use Aegis on Android (or a handful of other formats) it can import/export your seeds. It is downright luxurious having this on my laptop/desktop: # If you haven't setup flathub yet sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo # Install Authenticator from flathub. Source: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Authenticator sudo flatpak install flathub com.belmoussaoui.Authenticator

  You can also add TOTP secrets to entries in KeePassXC and generate/copy codes there (Ctrl+T).
