What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

I saw that. A good start, will keep it from becoming totally useless but not all the way there. It’s just hot keys and command launches, no tight-knit integrations with other apps and services or interactive widgets.
But maybe someone with the skills will get inspired for a solution as more go *nix…🤞
I’m in the exact same boat as you. I’ve been dual booting Mint Cinnamon for a couple weeks now, and my Stream Deck sits on the desk being completely useless…
I also have a virtual audio console set up so I can use the stream deck to play audio through my virtual microphone input so I can use it as a soundboard in voice calls, and I can’t imagine a way to make that function on Linux without doing my own software development work. I know PulseAudio is powerful and I could probably get an equivalent setup by making the right API calls and hooks, but it just works in Windows.
