I use lots of hacks like this in my life. It's nice that you can (mostly) do this with open source software.
Too bad the rest of the world generally doesn't support this sort of thing. for example maybe you can buy a macos/ios tool to <overcome-ui-problem> but you can't just do it yourself.
- hbogert 3y agoAfter so many years just using Linux desktops I was shocked how many single purpose GUI applications I need on my MacBook from work. The one that comes to mind is a GUI with a single button to restore subpixel hinting functionality on, what apple calls, lo-dpi screens. Apple in all their wisdom disabled subpixel hinting a long time ago. The one I haven't tackled yet, is having only output on my external screen without having to close the lid. Why is this difficult? Am I dumb? I expect there is a GUI somewhere which will expect 10 dollars per year.

- eviks 3y agoIf you're used to scripting these things you can create your own simple guis with something like Keyboard Maestro ($, but not subscription) where a button would just call the script to do what you want But yeah, the OS won't be of much help, it's not designed for these things to be comfortable
