I have a laptop that spends some of it’s time docked to a monitor and keyboard/mouse. I would like to know how to change some settings depending on if it’s connected to the dock or not. Is there a program that can help with this?
Some possible use-cases include:
- Changing size of the taskbar to smaller/bigger
- Changing the behavior of the taskbar to auto-hide
- Changing the font size smaller/bigger
- Changing power settings performance/battery saver
- Enabling/disabling auto brightness
- Enabling/disabling keyboard backlight
These are just a few things I can think of but can provide more.
Something like Android’s Tasker but for Linux would be great.
Just because it’s becoming less useful doesn’t mean it’s useless. I search for stuff every day and can find the answer I’m looking for in under a few minutes.
You know what? That is actually some sound reasoning and I think that is an acceptable response.
I intended my original comment to be more a a shot at google than yourself, but I can see why you came back with what you said as a result, and then I got salty about it so I apologize.
Apology accepted 🙂
Google gets a lot of hate, and they, as a company and as a search engine have gotten worse over the years, but they still do a lot of stuff right. I never took it personally, just giving an example.
