across workspaces is handled in a familiar way. You can dock windows left and right with super+{left/right}, maximize and restore with super+{up/down}, and move to the next workspace with control+shift+{up/down}.
I miss the ability to drag a window to a corner and turn it into a quartile.
Suggestions for improvement:
* Linux Mint Cinnamon edition has a peculiar window adjustment algorithm that will quartile windows if you use the super and arrow keys in the right context. I really think everyone should mimic that feature. (Example, super+right to move window to right half, then super+up to move window to top right quartile).
* Windows dragged to corners should turn into quartiles.
# Screen Rotation
Bonus points to Gnome for getting reliable screen rotation right! Nothing but compliments here.
# Settings
I found the setting offerings to be anemic. For example, I couldn't find a setting to change the two finger scrolling to be "down is down." I also couldn't find a setting to to set the inactivity lock screen timeout.
Even though the offerings in the settings menu was fairly limited, I also found it hard to navigate. In KDE, the settings menu is searchable, so even though there are a galaxy of options available, you rarely find yourself lost in the menus.
There also seemed to be significant errors in the keyboard shortcuts settings. For example, "move to workspace below" was listed as super+page down. This key combination didn't work, but control+alt+down did.
Suggestions:
* Add searchability to your settings menu
* Figure out what's wrong with keyboard shortcut settings
# File Explorer
Touch input works well enough most of the time. Every once in a while the file explorer stops responding to touch input, which is unfortunate.
There seem to be some "hidden" features, but over time I think I would learn to love this file explorer. For example, I saw no button to directly edit the current path, but control+l allows me to edit the path directly. Of course, this means the path editor is only available if a keyboard is plugged in.
The features I need are hidden in there. I was able to map SSHFS and SMB drives easily.
Since I am accepting "the Gnome workflow," I have to say I really like this file manager. Learning to do things in the way they were designed to be done is annoying at first, but ultimately quite pleasing when it all comes together.
# Suspend
I'm pretty sure this is more of an Ubuntu/Canonical thing than a Gnome3 thing, but suspend works really, really well. My only objection is it is a bit too easy to wake the tablet by pressing any key. The surface pro 3 has a capacitive "windows" button on the frame that wakes the tablet if you look at it funny.
The suspend/resume cycle is fast, almost as fast as on android.
Battery life persisted extremely well in the suspend state. My tablet has 2.5 hours of battery life (I have battery failure). Suspending the tablet overnight (8 hours) cost only 1 hour 40 minutes of battery life.
# Account Integration
By logging into your accounts using GNOME3, you can get your calendar to sync and add your cloud storage to the file explorer. Email has to be set up separately in thunderbird.
The calendar integrates with desktop notifications, which is a nice bonus.
# Stability
Ubuntu froze, crashed, but mostly recovered once during this test when I was trying to sync Thunderbird.
When my wifi failed (known issue on the SP3, I've now fixed it), Gnome remained stable. In KDE, frozen wifi would also freeze the taskbar elements, so Gnome wins here.
# Recommended User Modifications for Gnome3 on Tablet
1. Obviously, the user is responsible for sorting out hardware issues like wifi.
2. Install the Gnome-Tweaks tool and adjust as desired
3. Install the onboard keyboard to use as a backup. Install the block caribou shell extension just in case the keyboard is becoming a hassle.
4. Create a CLI symlink to the GUI GVFS mountpoints. `mkdir -p ~/mounts/; ln -s /run/user/$UID/gvfs/ ~/mounts/gvfs`. This will make it much easier to access remote locations mounted via the

5. Install Xournal++ to take advantage of the pen input. Its the best writing system we have on Linux except maybe the OneNote browser app.
# Frustrations
After a week of testing, I keep running into the following problems:
1. Touch stops working. Rotating the screen sometimes brings it back, sometimes it doesn't.
2. File browser intermittently fails to accept touch input.
# Surface Pro 3
If you're curious about the Surface Pro 3 as a linux device, here are my general impressions:
* 12 inches is too big for a tablet.
* The form factor makes for a particularly lightweight and portable laptop, but it is also difficult to use _in your lap_.
* While I've gotten Wifi to be very stable... It isn't 100%. After the device sleeps, wifi often fails until the device reboots.
* Gnome3 is the best Linux touchscreen environment, but it isn't good enough for me to ditch other proprietary options like Android, iOS, and ChromeOS.
# Conclusion
Compared to KDE, Gnome3 offers a much improved touchscreen experience. Compared to Android, iOS, and ChromeOS, Gnome3 leaves much to be desired. While I will always prefer FOSS software, I don't think I'm ready to switch to Gnome for my tablet of choice.

Network traffic monitoring + Grafana graphs for every IP on the LAN, including the internet servers they connect to (open source)
The internet is slow here in isolation, so I [built a traffic monitor for our network](https://www.technicallywizardry.com/traffic-monitoring-software-grafana/?preview=true&_thumbnail_id=8906).
Takeaways...
* Python noscript, also available as a Docker container (arm & x86)
* Uses tcpdump on a bridged interface router to report `bytes` and `packets` to Prometheus, tagged with `src`, `dst`, `service`, and `proto`
* Although the RPi acts as a router, it actually **sped up** (!!) our internet (pppoeconf is better than a crappy DSL modem).
* I also implemented connection bonding, so we can plug in a phone to the USB and it will speed the connection further.
* [Network diagram](https://content.technicallywizardry.com/2020/04/04173149/Network-Traffic-Metrics-2048x1464.png)

Any experience programming on a remote machine?
I've got a Mac laptop and a Linux desktop. Obviously, I can ssh into the Linux machine no problem. But I was wondering if anyone had any tips to make the experience more seamless. I don't want it to "feel" like I'm working on a remote machine. Personal anecdotes would be cool too. Just trying to gauge if this is worth the effort.
I use sublime-text as my editor of choice.
Edit:
Just as an aside, I was getting horrible latency over WiFi (both laptop and desktop were wireless). Like 300ms. Plugging an ethernet cable into the linux desktop dropped the ping to 3ms. Before the delay between action and reaction made it unbearable. Now its much much better (as in an unnoticeable amount of latency).

* One doesn't force another to load/read resources when they don't need to (CPU update every 2 second but weather updates each 1 hour)
* This can update signals (volume control function button in keyboard. more details in readme.md)

Discuss those scenarios for GPL and Apple App Store

You can contribute to open source without knowing how to code! Here are my user-facing contributions
Despite not knowing how to code, I've been contributing to Linux for years. And I think I've made meaningful user-facing changes by merely filing bug reports, particularly to elementary OS! So I thought it's a good idea to summarise all of it as proof that you can too!

New project: cmd-frontend: Easy web UIs for command-line tools
I've finally gotten around to publishing an attempt to combine the power and rapid development of command-line tools with the usability of GUIs (e.g. sortable tables, popups with documentation, buttons for common actions, click-for-more-details, etc). It's a Node.js project that aims to be super-easy to run in secure environments and to be easily customisable, at least by those who know TypeScript/JavaScript :) Command output is parsed by JavaScript in the browser so any detail can be surfaced on a web-page. There are currently draft UIs for systemd status, process details, Kubernetes, and BOINC/Folding@Home.

I hope this is useful to others - would love any feedback & contributions :)
