Buen fin de semana

La imagen muestra una captura de pantalla de un escritorio de computadora con una imagen de fondo de muchas medusas azules translúcidas que nadan en el agua.  En la parte inferior de la pantalla, hay 3 ventanas. Una muestra una paleta de colores con un degradado de tonos pastel, otra muestra la configuración de sombras.  La información incluye valores para el radio de desenfoque, opacidad y desplazamiento de las sombras y la tercera muestra Bluetuith, un gestor de conexión bluetooth basado en TUI.

On #Hyperland for a week now and I like it. There are some features I miss that I used in #leftwm for example I miss the option to have a lot of difference layouts. Now i have master layout with different orientations, but I would love to use grid sometimes, or monocle (single window is visible only and I can swap between then with mod+j/k like how I move between windows). I miss the ability to query every single detail of the wm as well, for example I have rofi launcher that lists all layout options I can use and auto-selects the one I'm currently on, with hyperland I can't do that, at least I couldn't find a way to do that. Or the deck layout is very useful (in some wms it's called tabbed), I rarely use it but sometimes it's useful.

Anyway, I like it and I'll stay with it. I'll still follow LeftWM and launch it time to time (after updates) so my config doesn't get outdated in case I have/want to move back.

Spent 6 hours to configure #Hyperland the way it's not annoying and can do the same thing or at least it works similar way as #leftwm does. It works. I already hate I had to swap #lightdm out as I couldn't start Hyperland with it at all :( I like lightdm and it works, now I have sddm and I spent like 1.5 hours just on that bullshit to configure a f*ing theme that's not ugly and it works :( Probably worst experience with dms ever and I started using linux in the previous millennium (lol, I know it's still called 90s but "previous millennium" sounds way cooler, and you can't change my mind).

For everything else, well I had to rewrite a lot of things, for example my maim scripts had to be rewritten to use grim and slurp. Basically a lot of tools had to be rewritten. I still use rofi because wofi doesn't support all features the same way as rofi does and I had zero intention to rewrite my 100+ lines long rasi files as wofi config and css and figure out everything for that. rofi stays for a while.

My first screenshot using Hyprland.

I decided that it was time to get serious using wayland and actually make the switch from to . So far I really like using hyprland. I'm especially glad that emacs now works in wayland.

Just downloaded the latest version of (0.5.3). Nice release.

I really like the simplicity of Leftwm. Nice easily understood config files. The themes are easy to set up. Plus it has some really nice screen layouts.

I have also been using github.com/houmain/keymapper as a replacement for the Leftwm key program. This lets me do chords and Modes. with Leftwm along with straightening out some of the funkiness of my Velocifire m2 keyboard

@aks I have a very simple setup. Nothing to see really.

  • WM: #leftwm
  • Distro: #arch
  • Background: My creation with #krita created long long years ago, and still using it.
  • At the top I have #polybar with a lot of extra custom scripts
  • Terminal: #alacritty
  • Shell: fish (moved from zsh recently)

LeftWM config: git.efertone.me/efertone/confi
Background image: git.efertone.me/efertone/confi (totally free to use)

#linux #desktop

Screenshot of my desktop with Polybar (purple-ish) and a background I made.
Background image: Dark base colour, a trans flag across the middle from edge to edge, a square traffic sign shaped symbol in the middle. The symbol has the pride flag as background and a black resistance fist.Same as the previous one, but an open Alacritty with semi-transparent background.

everybytecounts.org OS updated for 2023.11 with and on Alpine , and LeftWM on NixOS becoming 1year old. They were not removed since they will be updated in the next release next month. It would be great if the based was added to , but not had luck with requests. 5.4 23.11 was removed. If there's interest for 5.6 to be tested, a new issue can be submitted github.com/crftbt/EveryByteCou. Does Q4OS not have a public ?

I have been using Tiling Window managers for the last 5 years. Currently using

Recently, after reading about the new release of I decided to install it and give it a try.

have spoiled me. I immediately disliked having to drag my windows and sizing them. I did not like not knowing where my windows would appear when I opened them.

I ended up abandoning and going back to . just felt more productive

@BrodieOnLinux

"One of the items I wanted to cover was, would it be possible for us to enable experimental tiling contributions to do different types of layouts"

I actually encapsulated the window tiling calculations of LeftWM into a separate Rust library last year. The reason was that I wanted to implement the layouts independent of the display server so that it could be reused for wayland, or any other Rust project that wants to implement window tiling.

It sounds like this could be of interest to them.

My mindmap for Leftwm key bindings

2024-05-25

I'm feeling nostalgic this morning and decided to play around with the lates release of Pharo. Other IDE's can only wish for the features that Pharo give the developer.

Rainy Day time to update a few mindmaps and watch an old movie on youtube

Just a random screenshot of my current workspace.

I am really enjoying the leftwm window manager. Very simple to set up and very fast and stable. I have been using tiling window managers starting with ion3, Awesome, DWM, and I3. Leftwm removes the need to use a programming language in order to configure it. All I have really needed is a small bashscript in order to start up the programs needed.

@mnemonix que tal te va con ? Como es la experiencia?

I don't know if is responsible for this but since I switched from to my linux system has been running much better. Memory consumption is under control, Java Swing apps no longer take all of my memory and then lock up the system. Under All of my memory was taken by cache and never recovered.

Thanks to the makers of
