          @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone @merlin@kif.rocks have you never rearranged someone else's keyboard from QWERTY into the world-famed ABCDEF layout? <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://donotsta.re/emoji/akko/akko_giggle.png" title=":akko_giggle:" />

                  @domi @yassie_j @merlin Heh, I did dvorak once (both physically and in software), sadly Linux DEs are horrible and it didn't keep the configuration after a reboot.

                                  2. set that as walpaper

                                  3. delete all the icons from their desktop

                                    @TeflonTrout @merlin
                                    This a longer story...

                                    My wife used to have an early laptop 25y back or longer, that developed a loose screen contact resulting in a narrow black line just next to the center of the screen.

                                    After weeks i happened to notice the problem went away when I applied subtle pressure on the side of the screen bezel.

                                    I then carefully opened the shell and squeezed some material between shell and screen to apply permanent pressure.

                                    I then created a snapshot.
                                    And edited the original black line into the picture which then became the new background...

                                        My wife used to have an early laptop 25y back or longer, that developed a loose screen contact resulting in a narrow black line just next to the center of the screen.

                                        After weeks i happened to notice the problem went away when I applied subtle pressure on the side of the screen bezel.

                                        I then carefully opened the shell and squeezed some material between shell and screen to apply permanent pressure.

                                        I then created a snapshot.
                                        And edited the original black line into the picture which then became the new background...

                                          @merlin I just did this on my own copy, and it's REALLY ANNOYING ME even at 0.2deg, because it's subtle enough that the angle isn't immediately noticeable, but everything is immediately BLURRY and it feels like my eyes just aren't focusing on it!
                                          Full 90/180 draw crisp and clean, tho.
