Rebinding Caps Lock to Escape

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['caps:swapescape']"

Installing OpenFPGALoader

Then install openFPGALoader. This utility entered the Ubuntu repositories in 23.04. Install and compile it if you do not have it. Install the udev rule so that admin access is not required to load FPGA bitstreams.

Setup Rootless Docker

Docker allows you to run programs in containers, which are isolated environments. Upsilon development (at the Maglab) uses Docker for reproducibility: the environment can be set up automatically, and re-setup whenever needed.

If you have issues with docker, try adding to ~/.config/docker/daemon.json

{
   "storage-driver": "fuse-overlayfs"
}

Download and Install Python3

Install python3-venv (or python3-virtualenv) and python3-pip.
