Why do all windows react differently to xdotool resize

Yesterday I tried to layout a bunch of program windows via xdotools moveto and resize. In theory they should have been all the same size, but they came out all different, and none had the targeted size. They all had space around them. What is involved in this process?

Best way to create a Macro Keyboard?

I’m looking to create a macro keyboard (full keyboard) which is separate from my main keyboard, under Debian with KDE Plasma running under Wayland.

After a bit of ricing the configs, it started feeling really homey. I love using workspaces here! They feel perfectly suited for laptop screens which have minimal space, allowing me to keep...

KDE freezes when going to sleep/suspending

For quite some time now, KDE has intermittently been unable to go to sleep. It will either go to a black screen with the cursor still showing, and the computer running, or it will show a half frozen sddm looking screen with the computer still running. The computer, in both cases, will be wholly unresponsive, and the only way to...
