Until #Gentoo portage catches up with the packages needed for #StumpWM to run without crashing, I think I'll give #QTile a go. Can't do the keyboard shortcut things I want, but neither can most other WM or DEs.
Should be very helpful with the new 3440x1440 monitor arriving tomorrow. Large fonts AND two windows next to each other. Sounds great; I can't wait to experience it. (Upgrading from 1920x1080.)
Is there some way to snap windows to a grid in Gnome? I don't want a tiling window manager or custom snap zones (like gSnap). I want just maybe 20x20 static grid to snap window position and size into.

You should try sowm or monsterwm

#sowm #monsterwm #windowmanagers #x11
Recently switched from #dwm to #fvwm3 mostly out of just wanting to tinker/change the look/feel of my desktop. Not 100% sure I'm gonna stick with it and open to other options. What cool #WindowManagers are #x11 #linux folks using these days?
🧊 IceWM 3.7 Window Manager Brings Enhanced Customization
—Linuxiac
｢ On the fixes front, IceWM 3.7 addresses several longstanding quirks. One important tweak ensures the last event time is always used when setting window focus. At the same time, the fix for the desktop-focus glitch now prevents the user interface from getting stuck after undoing a “show the desktop” command ｣

I've decided to centralise some of the mailing list posts I've made recently about Wayland how lack of drawing primitives hampers choice. For example:

I've written up a few of my thoughts here:

I know some of you here care about this, so this is for you...
No inflammatory comments, please. ;)
GitHub - LGUG2Z/komorebi: A tiling window manager for Windows 🍉
In addition to the 58 #OperatingSystem performance benchmark comparison information on https://everybytecounts.org, there are another 164 #Linux and other #OperatingSystems that have been tested and did not make the cut (222 total). There will be an additional 30 benchmarks by January 2025 when #AlpineLinux #PostMarketOS #NixOS have their next release in the next month or so. Hopefully more NixOS options will be dropped in favor of newly supported #DesktopEnvironments and #WindowManagers on Alpine.
🧱 Linux: We need Tiling Desktop Environments
Back on my Mac and man what the hell does Apple have against window tiling?
it's so weird for them to have such a slick desktop environment and such clunky window tiling
What Desktop Environment or Window Manager are you currently using?
I’m currently using BSPWM.
#linux #windowmanagers #linuxreccomendations
Currently trying out a bunch of distros in a vm as I am looking for somthing fresh. I currently use linux mint with xmonad as the wm. Looking for window manager recs (tiling) and distro recs.
Hoping for a distro that is light weight but needs minimal setup (not doing arch from scratch, been there but cbf atm)
My current use case is (in order of priority): programming, web browsing, gaming.
I use a nvidia 🤮 rtx 2070 super and ryzen 3700x and haven't had a good experience with wayland but willing to give it another go
