Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I like the funny mouse one

    Is it too much to ask for the days when my system was nothing but a prompt in which I may or may not type "startx"?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

    That's what I've got (on Gentoo).

    Have you tried niri yet? What about river?

    I'm at the point in my Linux journey where I have settled into a stable system, configured 99.9% how I want it. Seeing diminishing returns on effort put into tweaking it. But I just keep looking at window managers. I have people who need me in the world but I just can't stop looking at them. I don't know what to do.

    Every year or so I fire up a VM, install a window manager on it, realize I have no idea WTF I'm doing, and nuke the VM and go back to my regular KDE desktop.

    Do not worry I'm daily driving a window manager and still do not know what I'm doing.

    As someone that pretty much had to use WMs before full DEs came out: fuck WMs.

    I love Sway, but Hyprland's special workspace thing is just so damn good.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah but Hyprland window groups tend to eat each other with the dwindle layout

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    what do you mean by eat each other?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    If you have two groups, and you accidentally start dragging a window (assuming you use the mouse at all, which I do) Hyprland will drag the entire group and merge it with the one it's hovering.

    Now, imagine someone coming from Sway, who is used to rearranging individual windows by simply dragging them around without having to explicitly move them out of containers...

    Hyprland wiki has detailed config options for this

    You are a legend. I must've not understood what you meant. Thanks for your contribution. I also apologise for not checking before answering.

    Meh, hyprland devs and community are known for being toxic, specially with minorities. Can't use because of this :/

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

    I don't see the toxicness on my desktop

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    How is it relevant to using the wm in your desktop?

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

    I just don't want to feel complacent to the devs and the community actions.
