Hi Alessio, This is a *great* idea for an article. The editors approved you to go ahead with a draft. I would recommend something like this: * Mention why xdotool doesn't work as well on modern systems due to Wayland * Mention any other key features that are important * Show an example how to interact with a simple app, maybe something like gnome-screenshot, on Fedora Workstation -- Paul W.
