Some companies will make special versions for Black Friday that do indeed have cheaper parts or missing features, but for many it’s the exact same product as the normal SKU. They do the special SKU at the request of the retailer, to guarantee that no one can use a “price match guarantee” to make them sell more than the planned quantity of door busters.
I have a small script to toggle the visibility of a window when I press a hotkey. Press once, it launches the app if it’s not running, or unhides and raises the window if it is. Press again, it hides the window.
My distro recently switched KDE to Plasma 6 on Wayland, and of course the script stopped working. Researched how to make a Wayland equivalent. You can’t. It’s literally impossible to hide (or even minimize) windows from the command line.
They only offer that option for some models. For everything else, you have to select the Windows version with no added cost, and just eat the loss of the baked-in Windows tax.
