    I still have to wait a long time for the video to load in the Mpv cache

    In my experience the video loads in a few seconds compared to the minutes it'd take for it to download, but I get your second point.

    So my new workflow is to use Piped to find a video, then copy the end of the link and type “yt-dlp <C-S-v>” in a terminal, wait for the video(s) to download, and open in mpv.

    Why not just pass the YouTube link to mpv so you don't have to wait for the video to download?

    Thank you for the detailed response!

    I'm gonna give it a try in my current session and if it works I'll make it permanent.

    One more thing I'd like to ask though is what would be an appropriate size for zram? Considering it grows dynamically 50% would probably be a good amount right?

    Hello, I came across zram recently and I'd like to know if I should use it, my laptop only has ~4GB of ram, and for the most part it'll only stutter when I open multiple programs or a game, so would zram be adequate in my case? Also, would the compressing and decompressing have a significant impact on my cpu?

    Help with swaywm window rules?

    My guess is that sway checks sets the opacity when the window open, so when the first rule matches (app_id=.*) it skips all others, so maybe try putting the other 2 rules above the first one?

    Sorry if my comment is incomprehensible, I've just woken up.
