My new favorite linux story is how a package maintainer for Debian neutered the openssl rng and all the certs were crackable for two years.

lamo so i just spent the last couple hours trying random poo poo to get a custom xinput keymap applied for my weird mouse: reverse left/rightclick + switch up the thumb buttons a bit but xinput settings are dropped on the floor whenever the machine is suspended, so you have to do some extra bullshit if you don't want your configs randomly changing on you: - all the howtos from circa 2011 recommend putting it in a /etc/pm/sleep.d script that gets called on resume, but that doesn't work because xinput wants to be run from within the X11 session and not by some random script running as root. also it seems like the mouse device isn't even listed at this point where xinput is concerned - then some newer poo poo says to use a gnome-settings-daemon 'hotplug script' (even the example script has bad indentation lol). the script runs successfully in the logs but the settings aren't actually sticking -- something is overriding it - maybe it's xorg itself that's overriding it on resume?? try adding a config to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d (not in /etc for reasons) for the mouse. but nope that's apparently not it either, mapping is still getting stomped - then i find some people saying to turn off a mouse plugin in gnome-settings-daemon via a manual gconf command, which likewise doesn't seem to do anything but whatever - THEN when browsing around in there i see a gnome-settings-daemon option to switch the mouse to left-handed directly, which is half of what i want. after switching that on, the left/rightclick are suddenly reversed, now the xinput keymap that's stomping on my custom keymap is suddenly a version that's left-handed so in short something in gnome-settings-daemon is actively making GBS threads on any custom keymaps whenever the compute resumes from suspend, in such a way that even other customization methods within gnome-settings-daemon itself are themselves stomped on that said this is bunters lts so who knows maybe it's something canonical did

kde has a mouse preferences thinger that will let you customize that poo poo, and kde will take care of restoring settings after resume etc but preferences dialogues are scary and bad. just keep using gnome with the mouse bindings gnome considers correct

its a nightmare to figure out which config files are actually used and which were deprecated at some point. esp when they aren't actually created unless you need to change something. seems so stupid
