Tip: If you want to disable controller rumble for the GOG release of Born of Bread under Wine (i.e. not system-wide) and you're using Durazno as your XInput wrapper, you need to set a `native, then builtin` DLL override for `xinput1_3` in `winecfg` and the game will look for DLLs under `GOG Games/Born of Bread/BornOfBread/Binaries/Win64`, but the `durazno.ini` is created/searched next to the top-level `BornOfBread.exe` under `GOG Games/Born of Bread`.

Tip: If you don't want to use a Wine/Proton manager like Lutris or Bottles, the black texture bug that the game Born of Bread exhibits under the distro-provided Wine 9.0 on Ubuntu Linux 24.04 can be fixed by installing DXVK. (The last version compatible with Wine versions below 10.0 is DXVK 2.7.1.)

Tip: Use this command to batch-set all your installed GNOME Runtime-based Flatpak apps which don't yet use portallized Open/Save dialogs to default to opening the dialog to $PWD instead of the Recent tab.

for X in $(flatpak list --app-runtime=org.gnome.Platform --columns=application | tail +1); do flatpak run --command="gsettings" "$X" set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser startup-mode cwd; done

PSA: Accidentally running `systemd --user` instead of `systemctl --user` may render your D-Bus session bus unresponsive until you log out, breaking Pipewire, XDG portals, and a lot of other things.

(It's probably a good idea to add an alias or function to your bashrc or zshrc to block accidental invocation of it.)
