Surface pros work, but they’re not ideal for linux. Expect struggle during the installation, and be aware some parts of the hardware won’t work.

I really want to have better tiling and window management in Gnome. Ubuntu has an add-on released with 23.10 that I haven’t got around to test yet. And I know that Gnome has that feature in the works, but it annoys me that Windows 11 has better management of windows with window-snapping than my DE of choice.

I love how tabby contains all keys, identities, configurations etc. But it is sluggish compared to the competition.

You can make your own bash/ fish/ python menu pretty easily if what you want is to have an “address book” or a speed dialer to you’re ssh servers. Let me know if you’re curious and I could share mine.

EDIT: so what I use is a fish function, and my “adress book” is hardcoded in it. It was a quick and dirty POC that never moved passed the “conecpt” stage, but ideally - these values should be stored in a csv file so it can be accessible from whatever program you’re making / using.

This can surely be easily adaptable to bash or python through a coding LLM for the lazy.

The code below should be in ~/.config/fish/functions/ssh_menu.fish for fish shell.
