No sway? No Fluxbox? No i3? No Plasma(wayland)? Pathetic. (jk)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Good input, I'm gonna add these to my collection

Make your own with GTK and Hyprland using ags. Its like gnome on the backend but your own custom JavaScript for the frontend.

The authors personal dotfiles are pretty slick.

If I find the time & motivation to do so I might do. Atm I'm happy with what I've got (not this setup, this is just a VM I use for "scientific purposes")

Good to see some Sway love in here. Been using it for a year or so and it works great

I was using i3wm and have migrated pretty recently. Rewriting the config was much less scarier than I initially hoped.

You're missing some tiling window managers

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

True, I might expand upon them ;)

What OS are you on? I hear it's a pain to add to Ubuntu.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

The only correct option

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Another one for the list ;)

That's literally me when I first got into Linux

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I remember making lots and lots of VMs and sitting night over night because VM ≠ real hardware (surprisingly)... Those were wild times

The boot menu was pretty long as well!

Couldn't I just press Ctrl+Alt+F1

But will it kill my XFCE (because of the mascot - idk if it's a rat or mouse)?

I'm quite happy with my setup (not this one. This is just a VM I set up for "scientific purposes" and to see how some DEs are evolving)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Looks like my own used to look before. Just pure fun to try all of them because why not. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I would use different users to be sure to not mess up some dotfiles. Also icons and fonts will be very messed up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I use(d) a VM for testing purposes and things were working quite well unti I added Plasma. So, if I take this to real hardware I might split up the QT and GTK based DEs in separate distros

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Yeah I agree, that would be the best, but also slightly annoying. No more common shell history or web history and stuff like that.

I haven't had any major breakage using both Gnome and Plasma myself. It works fine. But it's annoying to see Gnome apps in the Plasma menus (when typing program names).
