sxhkd: Update wal keybinds
As far as I remember, the -e was necessary to avoid the automatic tint2
reload causing the bar to be unclickable under bspwm.

sxhkd: Use rofi with ksuperkey
I eventually realized that GNOME accomplishes this and much more with
a lower probability of issues occurring.

vim: Add nerdtree settings
Although there are other solutions available now, nerdtree still works
fairly well for our use case.

rofi: Show as separate window
This makes it possible to close rofi with the same keybind that is used
to open it. Also got rid of an obsolete drun string.

https://astro.build/ seems interesting.

It feels like this doesn't improve readability that much if at all, but
it's nice to have the option.

Since I now use GNOME, I'll never go through these TODOs, however
anyone is free to implement these ideas on their own time.

dunst: Change frame settings
As far as I remember, these changes simply make the frame around dunst
notifications look nicer across more color schemes.

meta: Add tint2
This was the configuration I used for tint2 when I was trying to
replicate a taskbar-like experience in bspwm. Although it worked to some
extent, the dash-to-panel extension for GNOME handles this much nicer,
and with the many other benefits GNOME provides.

rofi: Add custom wal template

unreadable with some pywal color schemes.

meta: Add dual-function-keys
dual-function-keys is an amazing piece of software that solves many if
not all of the long-lasting issues I had with binding caps lock to ctrl
and escape. I have additionally configured it in a way such that print
screen can double as a right super key, due to it being next to right
alt and right ctrl on the T14.

meta: Add librewolf
This was my configuration for librewolf, a web browser I used for a few
months before ultimately deciding to use firefox again for simplicity.

Although librewolf is useful for giving individuals immediate access to
a solid browser with ublock origin pre-installed, the downsides such as
not having automatic updates for users that need it the most, as well as
constantly depending on another project to update in a timely manner,
do not seem worth it in the long-term.

meta: Add qutebrowser
This was my configuration for qutebrowser, a web browser that I
revisited in 2022 and decided to use for a few months. Although I
certainly found the experience quite cute, I came across issues such
as the content window blanking when switching workspaces, strict https
mode not being supported, containerization requiring separate tabs, and
frequent crashes when dealing with large amounts of tabs.

Besides the issues above, I also had to deal with certain websites
not loading in qutebrowser without any way to troubleshoot it from
developer tools. In addition to the lack of extension support (thereby
requiring more involved measures to replicate similar behavior found in
other browsers) and the inferior content blocking solution, I ultimately
decided to switch back to my old trusty friend firefox.

bspwm: Add dynamic desktops implementation
This was my implementation of dynamic desktops, largely inspired by the
various hints I found on r/bspwm. Although this was a very engaging
intellectual exercise, I eventually realized that GNOME handles dynamic
desktops much better, and comes with a slew of other conveniences as
well.

wal: Remove bspwm/dunst/tint2 scripts
By prioritizing GNOME, we're able to focus on being productive instead
of customizing our linux setup.

Revert "starship: Add date and time"
This is no longer needed since we use GNOME as the desktop environment,
which makes it easy to see the date and time as needed.

kitty: Remove background options
Realistically won't be using custom backgrounds with kitty due to the
complexity involved in changing them among other things. Setting the
background opacity and letting the desktop environment manage the
background instead is more convenient.

meta: Add elementary kitty diff support
Having image diffs in the terminal is very cool, however I ultimately
decided against using kitty's diff feature due to using the existing
colors of the shell being non-trivial.

up was necessary.

kitty: Show window decorations on GNOME
Thanks to an extension called pixel-saver, it's possible to take
advantage of window decorations in GNOME and maximize screen estate
at the same time.

bspwm: Start tint2 in bspwmrc
This added a toggleable bar similar to polybar, except this time it
showed the open applications at the bottom. I eventually switched to
GNOME, which is able to achieve this and much more with dash-to-panel,
an extension that has been steadily improving over the years.
