I use a Linux distro with kde, so I have a lot of customization available. I like trying other distros in VMs, but stuff like windows (no need to copy really kde is similar by default) and Mac is a pain in the ass to use that way. so, I want to know what your os does that you think I should copy using kde’s customization. I’m looking for Mac in particular (bc I haven’t used it before) but any OS or desktop environment is fair game.

    I made a launcher inspired initially by kde’s krunner, tries to do everything with a launcher, keeps the keyboard shortcuts to minimum, but having almost everything within a few keystrokes. Most things are os/de/wm agnostic. Since the write up, I have added a bluetooth device selector, network connections, vpns, and more stuff.

        it is not really “code” - it is a fancy shell script stringing a launcher like thing (if you have seen people use dmenu or rofi to launch applications and make menus, it is just that, but repurposed to do more). I just realised i forgot to add link the article (the said write up in the original comment) https://sga.codeberg.page/articles/Launcher/Launcher_for_Everything.html. Since then I have made many changes, and here is the script

        Although I was actually considering a rust rewrite, because I am learning it, and 150ms is way to long for me
