-# todo
+- verify whether we need to remove the gvm override that breaks certain default commands (eg. cd/ls etc...)
 
-Transitioning to Sway/Wayland for desktop environment.
+- verify brave launches correctly (eg. no keyring prompt)
+	- verify mpv runs correctly
+	- verify yt-dlp is correctly able to pull credentials from brave
 
-_Expect iterative changes over the following months while fine-tuning happens on real hardware._
+- verify whether qview works correctly; the desktop file added is odd (com.interversehq.qView.desktop), so the mimeapps.list might need adjustment.

-## sway
-
-- verify fix for alacritty config loads gvm/bash_profile without requiring redundant sourcing
-- double-check whether exit command properly, and fully, terminates our sway session (eg. we can safely reload sway)

-
-When I eventually break down and buy elden ring, try these?
-
-	PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 mangohud gamemoderun %command%
-
-May need other steps for ultrawide support?

----
-
-- figure out how to modify aur package installation to occur under new user rather than temporary user
-- add new aur packages to the installation
-	- cmst (sway/wayland friendly connman management)
-	- wev (_need to verify necessity?_)
-
-- investigate `poweralertd` and `batsignal` to setup low battery alerts with `mako`
-	- _This is important for laptops_
-
-- continue to refine `notes/sway.md` to account for the lack of obvious world-knowledge
-
-- Test SteamVR
-	- Setup two new base stations for 4-station setup
-	- Reconfigure steam vr utils software
-		- Make sure all 4 base stations connect
-		- Make sure all 4 base stations shutdown
-		- Make sure audio transitions to and from
-	- try Beat Saber
-	- try No Man's Sky

-## better temperature scripts
-
-Write a script to grab temperatures to replace the temperature module in waybar with custom commands...
-
-_This is because configuring temperatures is hardware dependent and the waybar has unintelligent defaults and anti-agnostic configuration!_
-
-Example that matters?
-
-for amd cpu: `k10temp` followed by `tctl`
-for intel cpu: `coretemp` followed by `package id 0`
-for amd gpu `amdgpu` followed by `edge`
-
-for nvidia we need to use `nvidia-smi` and parse that instead, but that also means if `nvidia-smi` does not exist we have to back out!
-
-_For this we will want to have an `exec-if` that checks for results
-_There may be cases where there is no GPU, so when no sensors appear can we have the custom module omitted?_
-
-For gpu temperatures:
-
-- `amdgpu`, followed by `edge`
-
-_This may not exist for laptops, may differ for nvidia, and may also differ depending on the driver._
-
-Samples:
-
-	"custom/cputemp": {
-		"format": "{}°C",
-		"interval": "3",
-		"exec": "/usr/local/bin/temps cpu",
-		"exec-if": "/usr/local/bin/temps cpu can"
-	}
-	"custom/gputemp": {
-		"format": "GPU: {}°C",
-		"interval": "3",
-		"exec": "/usr/local/bin/temps gpu",
-		"exec-if": "/usr/local/bin/temps gpu can"
-	}

-## scratchpad experiment
-
-I would like to be able to selectively deal with applications send to scratchpad.
-
-Getting an ordered list is a starting point.
-
-Probably replacing `scratchpad show` with an `exec`.
-
-New `/usr/local/bin/alacrittyq` with `$mod+tilde` toggle:
-
-	#!/bin/bash
-
-	# @todo: query swaymsg get_tree for alacrittyq
-	# if not exists launch
-	# if exists
-	# if hidden in scratchpad show
-	# if shown hide in scratchpad
-	alacritty --class "alacrittyq"
-
-- investigate dedicated identity for an alacritty window to selectively target for scratchpad persistent terminal via mod+tilde

-## workspace restoration
-
-It may be possible to write an IPC connected utility to save and restore workspaces
-
-_This tool would need to know when to save, and to intelligently restore only once when applications are first launched._
-
-It would need to have a way to pull wayland equivalents for the content mentioned in this issue:
-
-- https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/1005
-
-
-## hidpi check
-
-Previously I stopped caring because hidpi is erratic and glitchy, but I'm curious if sway might be smarter than openbox...
-
-- test hidpi configuration
-	- `output * scale 2`
-	- also targeted output scaling for HDTV but not ultrawide
-- Verify hidpi behavior of applications is not poor:
-	- firefox (many different websites?)
-	- mpv
-	- pcmanfm
-	- steam
-	- discord
-- _Remember to take some screenshots before and after to indicate visible changes?_
-
-
-## firefox automated configuration
-
-- investigate firefox configuration
-	- [auto-configuration?](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig)
-	- add mimetypes to bypass godawful save dialog (eg. hanlders.json in `~/.mozilla`, but unique profile path?)
-	- how to make it remember workspaces when restoring tabs (_probably not possible, so using tab manager addon_)
-
-
-## data cleanup
-
-Utilize my old rig to cleanup and organize my data across my old HDD's
-
-- Uninstall everything that is taking up disk space
-	- games
-	- videos
-	- music
-	- data
-- disable transmission (_we should not be downloading more content on this box_)
-
-Since this machine is separate/independent I can happily deal with long running processes and filling the disks to the brim while going through my files...
-
-At the end I want to be able to eliminate a huge amount of data that I don't need anymore, and any redundant copies of data as well...
+- compare installed.md list against a fresh install list of packages
+	- we can perhaps identify packages to add to our arch.sh
