Interesting ganz.

I think I'd go with Fedora 33 if I was to take that path as it would be a few months before I was happy it was running well and I like Python 3.9.

So installed it and remembered that Wayland had some challenges when I last looked and went back to X. A simple example is the right alt key. If I press it, the key is captured, the active windows title is read & a decision is made in a python script. As a result files may be read or written and text or keys output to that or another window. This is easy in X.

Not in Wayland although some people have found some parts of it (best for sway, not gnome). Seems PyGObject might be able to pick up the information I need along with Gnome's ... but enough. An interesting challenge that I might be able to finish before Fedora 33 gets old - might be time for a Python script using pipes for input if I can just get Gnome 3.38 to fire commands to the pipes.

Edit: What worked, works no longer so X11 is my future. It seems that the Gnome teams desire to simplify almost to the dumbness of Apple world also means they want to protect us from ourselves like Steve did. As long as that happens I'm with X11, Cinnamon and Mint (or some other combination that lets me run my own life) 😉
