@schenklklopfer Mit #Archlinux und #sway wäre dies nicht passiert #iusearchbtw
#sway
On another note, I finally gave a try to #hyprland and wow, I am blown away
Configuration is painless compared to what #i3 or #sway were, and the possibility to change between layout in a single shortcut is what I had been looking for years at this point
It makes me want to get back into the #ricing rabbithole for a week or two...
It turns out that, living in my little bubble (#sway #Hyprland #Wayland #nwgshell #archlinux #astrophysics), I completely missed the drama happening on fosstodon.org. I liked Fediverse, but I don't know if I'll have the time or desire to move to another instance, if #Fosstodon goes offline.
Hey #thinkpad user I want to get a good thinkpad to #softwareDevelop stuff, you know run develop env, #nodejs ,#nextjs ,#rubyOnRails, #php, #laravel . About What system run it's an #archLinux with #sway So I'd like some recomendation about What thinkpad do you recommend
Decided to remove #Fedora and go for the "simple" #Ubuntu, and ditch the idea of running #i3 or #sway WMs on my work laptop. Getting it set up and configured was no issue, and I love the simplicity and elegant customizable UI that i3 / sway gives, but the random crashes, specially related to using external monitors, was too much to deal with.
The amount of hardware needed to be supported to make these things work on multiple systems is quite impressive, so no bad feelings towards fedora / i3 / sway, this seems linked to Nvidia and non-open drivers.
As Ubuntu is the "official linux" for #Lenovo, that became the option, and GNOME is the default "tried and tested" there.
Letting go of i3 for Gnome was not an easy choice. But so far I have found tips & tricks to turn Gnome into something "i3 like", and I have now most of my keyboard bindings mapped. I need a better rofi (pop up menu) replacement, and a couple more things,. but I will get there.
Ubuntu/Gnome handle multi monitor / screen switching well, yay.
I see KDE Plasma screenshots and want to go back to DE because it just works most(?) of the time and looks beautiful.
But I'm already got used to Sway so much.
Even with Polonium script and custom keybinds, Plasma has a very different experience: an overcomplicated set of software, configuration through GUI… And Polonium's "Monocle" mode does not work the same way as Meta+W in Sway do.
All the attempts to bring the tiling WM experience into a classical DE are as bad as making Windows look like MacOS, or copying any other system UI design to a completely different environment for no reason.
There are some problems on a custom Sway-based setup, especially with theming inside Flatpak (tbh, fatpak always creates more problems on any DE), but I'm staying on Sway. That's the config and theming I've been adjusting for a week or more and finally got a convenient UI/UX that suits my needs.
In i3 I had an option to hide the title bar if there was only one tab. I suspect it works different in Sway.
Apparently in the past there was `hide_edge_borders lone_tab`, but that doesn't work anymore. Which probably makes sense, since I don't think `hide_edge_borders` was about the title bar in the first place.
Could someone tell me how to hide the title bar for lone tabs in Sway?
#Sway 1.11 RC1 has been released (#SwayWM / #Wayland / #WaylandProtocol / #WaylandCompositor / #DisplayServer / #WindowManager / #X11) https://swaywm.org/
Отключил отступы и перекрасил границы неактивных окон в цвет фона. Я уже делал так, когда использовал цвета из https://github.com/sainnhe/sonokai, но почему-то не реализовал идею, когда перешёл на https://github.com/catppuccin/i3. Теперь имеется лишь рамка активного окна, всё остальное же покрашено в один цвет. Никаких лишних полосок!
For those #Linux users who use the #Sway window manager, have you tried Jay?
Jay just released 1.10.0.
https://github.com/mahkoh/jay/releases/tag/v1.10.0
Same vibes as Sway, but in Rust but without an attempt to maintain compatibility. For example, the config file is in TOML.
OK, speaking of #Valheim
I've been playing on #Linux, using #Steam, in #Sway (#Wayland, obv.) and while I have an #NVidia GPU, it doesn't seem to be getting used? Yes, it's an older GPU, but even at around 10FPS on the lowest quality video settings, I'm consistently only getting about 12 FPS, which... it's less fun. It's still playable for somebody like me who is an old and doesn't really do a lot of high-FPS gaming or whatever (as you can tell) but I'm genuinely wondering what I'm doing wrong.
Anybody have any tips? The usual googling turns up lots of "won't launch" but that isn't the problem I'm having.
Tiling window managers have been around since the early days of graphical interfaces. Xerox PARC laid the groundwork in the 1980s, and even Windows 1.0 experimented with tiling before switching to overlapping windows.
In the Linux world, tiling never really left. It re-emerged in the early 2000s with tools like ratpoison and dwm, evolving into modern favorites like i3, bspwm, and Wayland-native Sway. For many users, especially developers and power users, tiling offers a more efficient, keyboard-driven workflow that stacking WMs just can't match.

here is a small #bash script to manually toggle an internal laptop keyboard when a #zsaVoyager is connected and using #sway

Hey #lazyweb, I'm a current #Ubuntu user who successfully switched from #gnome to #sway
I'm debating switching to #bazzite but noticed #Fedora Sway Atomic 42 is also one of the Fedora Atomic Desktops (although I note that Bazzite does not get listed on https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/).
How can I get the Nvidia and Steam support as from Bazzite but get sway support as from FedoraSwayAtomic? What can I do? I don't understand the implications of ostree rebasing to know how to blend the support.
