This is truly incredible! You got to the root of my problem!
My only remaining issue is that the styling doesn't really carry over, for example, my html section headers are red and a nice font, but with `pandoc -s doc.html -o doc.docx` they look like yours, blue and bold. (more) |

This is a nice thought. I used `asciidoctor-pdf`. I know I can output to `.html` natively with `asciidoctor`.
The other tool I encounter this with is `latex`. (more) |

Thank you for this. This is not ideal either, because I need to send the docx to native word users. They will be taken aback by this but have a surprisingly high tolerance for formatting issues. It's okay for the formatting to get messed up when editing, but I don't think they will accept being confi... (more) |

That's actually an interesting idea, and probably the best solution. I will give it more thought.
I guess I could write a base file, and then a script to append to the base, based on the situation. (more) |

I understand that, but I don't want to have separate `.xinitrc` files or
change them based on use case. I want to keep one basic `.xinitrc` and
then pass additional commands to my X session based on the situation. (more) |

Good thought. Tried it specifically setting mode and it did not work:

Yes you are right, but despite this, the concept of software "dpi" exists through `Xft.dpi` and `xrandr --dpi`.
My main goal is UI scaling. (more) |

A: xrandr rotate not filling external monitor This was fixed after restart. I believe this was caused by updating without restarting. It's possible it also had to do with disconnecting the HDMI cable. (more) |

I like `ls -A | wc -l`, but I'm not sure why it works. `ls -A` outputs
multiple files on each line, yet `wc -l` catches them all. I would think
you'd need `ls -A -1 | wc -l`. (more) |
