I've been suspecting that something faster and "easier" than #LaTeX (no hard feelings: TeX is enormously old and has lasted really long!) must be possible -- thank you for confirming that.

I get the utility of web-based collaboration, but ... I really really want a desktop GUI because sending each button press across half the world is *so wasteful*, not to mention privacy issues. The only maintained desktop app costs money, looks spartan and seems to use #Electron 🙄

после обновления почему-то перестал грузиться Element, выдавая
ozone_platform_x11.cc(246)] Missing X server or $DISPLAY. а у меня вообще Wayland. подумала, что дело в том, что оно хочет через иксы запуститься

попробовала element-desktop --ozone-platform=wayland, оно сработало. хотела дописать в hyprland.conf этот флаг, где у меня биндинг на запуск Элемента, а потом подумала, типа а не лучше ли со всеми электронными приложениями system-wide это решить, и создала файл ~/.config/electron-flags.conf, где прописала

--enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations
--ozone-platform-hint=auto

Элемент работает, посмотрим, чо остальные будут

Continued thread

... that is, on monitor 2 I can resize the app window, max/min, click on tabs, and close the app. On monitor 1, I can't.

If I unplug my laptop from the 2nd monitor, apps work normally. The symptoms appear to be that #Electron can't detect the mouse if it's in the "wrong" window.

Ideas where to look?
