@igel @ultem I mean on something unix-like you can always dorm /dev/video0mv /dev/video1 /dev/video0This will persist until reboot so you could setup a systemd unit to run it at boot.

@xR4yd @ultem yeah, but my point still stands. There is no easy way for normal users to do this. No normal setting.

@igel @ultem That's because you can't use simple GUIs exclusively to configure a system, and they don't make it easier either
