I created a blog post last night about why I switched back to #BSPWM and #XOrg away from #wayland .

any idea how can I detect if laptop screen is on or off from CLI?
external HDMI is connected
xrandr detect the screen as "eDP-1 connected" even when it's off with close lead

Okay, that's somehow cursed (but working) way to get rid of background flashing on #bspwm workspaces changing with #picom enabled: https://github.com/yshui/picom/issues/16#issuecomment-792739119 #linux

Memory Use (RAM)- A Brief (Biased?) Comparison of 7 Window Managers

Finally had time to install #debian on this #laptop with #luks #encryption and #windows installed alongside. Still cooking the #rice tho.

Recently switched to #bspwm and i still want to use lollypop as my music player but i don't like the window buttons (top right) does anyone know if there is any way for me to remove them

WTF is happening with #Github ? I'm getting this kind of errors with a lot of repos like: #bspwm #polybar #rofi #alacritty ... oh wait, it shows me the same at #github root page

Some #bspwm love

Recreating the basics of my #Xorg desktop in #Wayland was a lot easier than I thought. I'd say roughly 6 hours of reading man pages and writing configs. That sounds like a lot, but I'm pretty fussy with my dotfiles - a normal person would have a much easier time.

The only thing I still can't replicate is #bspwm. River is very good for software that's still in it's early stages, it just isn't the window manager I know and love. Maybe this'll be the year I finally let it go...

Hello #vim people! I am an Emacs freak, but I decided to give Vim a try. I am using #bspwm with picom as my compositor (obviously :P). The problem is that I prefer gvim specifically. Here is a side by side comparison of how it looks normally (left is vim running in Alacritty, right is gvim) before and after attempting hi Normal guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE. Why doesn’t gvim show me a transparent bg and instead it goes to the default white one? This really annoys me and I can’t find any real fix (at least using my Google/DDG-fu) besides “lol just use guibg=NONE and It’ll Just Work™). Is there something I’m missing?

@drmorr #Wayland has been on the rise recently and so have their WMs. The most famous I know are #Hyprland and #Sway. Now X11 WMs, there’s #i3, #bspwm, #awesomewm, #xmonad, #qtile, #dwm and more that I just don’t remember

@hq1 @RL_Dane As a #Hyprland and ex #bspwm user, I can say I don’t see much resemblance with bspwm. I think for that it would be #riverwm. Hyprland is more it’s own thing, as far as I know

Well I'll be damned, looks I'm on #wayland and replicated #bspwm behavior on #hyprland. Everything feels quite snappy in comparison, if it works well with two monitors and screen sharing, I'm going to switch for good.

Llego un poco tarde para el #viernesdeescritorio pero es lo que hay, no estoy muy bien hoy. Aun asi os dejo mis capturas de #Archcraft . Version minimalista basada en #arch en su version con windows tiling manager #bspwm , sin modificacion alguna. Espectacular

#bspwm’s automatic placement of windows has made a really good initial impression when compared with how #i3wm requires me to be more actively involved with the placement. Granted I’ve only used it for a few minutes so far, but I’m impressed.
[ #Linux #TilingWM #WindowManager #WindowManagers ]

@CyrilBrulebois and it works very well 👍 #BSPWM with an #nvidia card very snappy. Good to be back with APT. No bugs yet 🤞

For those interested in a well built, lightweight Debian based disto geared towards running window managers (wm), not Desktop Environments, you may find LiliDog of interest. I use LiliDog (running sid, rolling unstable Debian). I use it with the following in a single-user space: i3wm, bspwm, openbox, hlwm, and dwm.

@pierrelegall @nietaki cool. Never used any of the big desktops on linux, except for a short while on xfce4 just after migrating from macOS. Been mostly using #i3wm, #bspwm and #sway. Just love that whole paradigm.
