How To Install xwrits on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install xwrits on Fedora 34.
What is xwrits
Xwrits reminds you to take wrist breaks, which should help you prevent or manage a repetitive stress injury. It pops up an X window when you should rest; you click on that window, then take a break. Xwrits’s graphics are brightly colored pictures of a wrist and the attached hand. The wrist clenches and stretches ``as if in pain’’ when you should rest, slumps relaxed during the break, and points forward valiantly when the break is over. It is trapped behind bars while the keyboard is locked. Other gestures are included. Extensive command line options let you control how often xwrits appears. It can escalate its behavior over time – by putting up more flashing windows or actually locking you out of the keyboard, for example – which makes it harder to cheat.
