When I run the script myself and kill it, it gets the signal and acts correctly. Only when I poweroff the system, this doesn’t work.

if you have a laptop with a hybrid GPU

That is something I really care about. Thanks!

[Edit: I just checked. Something is handling the switch automatically on my system]

I’m not a super-savvy user. Can someone explain to me why I should care about X vs Wayland? Everything seems to work with X, and as I’ve just read, many programs don’t support Wayland. So will this transition just lead to lots of broken software once someone decides they won’t ship with X by default anymore?

If this offer still stands: What info do you need?

It’s a node process invoked by a run.sh, which gets executed via a .desktop file in the ~/.config/autostart directory.

I went with a systemd unit now and it works.

The constant nagging by you systemd people worked. I’ve written a unit that does what I need it to do. That was more annoying than I think it needed to be, but well… my solution didn’t work at all.

Persist everything to disk in real time.

That’s the thing I’m trying to avoid.

6. Built-in Local AI Assistant

Yess, because if I’ve learned one thing in the past year, then it’s that users love AI being shoved into everything!

Why stop at an AI assistant? Build AI into the kernel, I say! Let AI handle system calls, so everyone can be a low-level programmer! The kernel will just guess what your intentions were!

Remembering my screen layout so I don’t have to manually switch after every boot?

Different scaling for different screens that are attached at the same time?

~~nope, SIGCHLD.~~ Wrong.

But thanks.

~~It turns out I’m getting SIGCHLD. It might be related to how my script is started – it is a bash script that starts a node process and is itself run by Cinnamon’s (?) startup applications feature.~~

Wrong; still investigating
