From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My laptop is my workstation, and find myself fairly regularly having to switch between display layouts.

I wrote this script to work in conjunction with arandr generated xrandr layouts that are slightly, manually modified to also use xwallpaper to set per-layout wallpapers.

Also included is a systemd service that loads the previously chosen config at startup.

There's a little more info in the root README, as well as the most recent commit, for a deeper dive.
