Having really only ever used as my windows manager, am I right that / just doesn't support dynamic window management (dock mode, monocle mode, floating mode, spiral, etc.) that dwm does? That it's pretty much just tiling only? I spent a small amount of time playing with sway and couldn't figure out how to get it to switch modes like this.

for those of us still on - in my days - I used - stardock.com/products/groupy/ - I missed that on , which is why having tree based (which seems way more powerful than what groupy offers) is very exciting to me.

Getting that in or would be a killer feature. Alternatively: getting a great out of the box tiling WM setup would be killer (minimal customization needed, good dock, good systray)

however, is nowhere as feature rich without lots of customization (maybe not even then) compared to or . One killer feature in i3 is the tree based tiling layouts - I can have two vertically split containers, and tabbed windows in each (or just one).

I'd love to have that functionality in my kde setup, but reading up - even running #3 within doesn't seem smooth/vanilla enough. I'll still keep playing around with it on my laptop, but boy does it need extra setup!

I've settled down a bit after an initial adventure ever since starting worrying me. Here's what I've settled down on now, after experimenting with different setups:

1. and on my primary and experimental laptops
2. to synchronize dotfiles
3. to manage command line utilities across distros with
4.i. + + preferred on
4.ii. on

is very cool....

If you're interested in how I've customized my shell, neovim, i3, tmux and many other tools, check out my dotfiles here:

Unfamiliar with dotfile management? I've written an article on my personal blog: geewiz.dev/2019/04/30/how-mana

@thelinuxEXP I’m not a guy. I don’t like the workflow, because it can take too much memory. And I use with autotiling and with a few patches.

If you experience black border around menus in apps and don't use a compositing wm, e.g. , here's the solution:

$ cat ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css
popover contents {
border-bottom-left-radius: 0;
border-bottom-right-radius: 0;
border-top-left-radius: 0;
border-top-right-radius: 0;
box-shadow: none;
}

Bye bye KDE, welcome i3!

Volevo alleggerire il vecchio laptop, ormai quasi quindicenne, e mi andava anche di tornare a smanettare un pochino, lo ammetto.

Siccome mi piace molto il mio , lo condivido con voi amicɜ.

For tiling applications on a workspace, then the Regolith Desktop using Ubuntu and i3 window manager looks a whole lot better with way more options.

Hello again world!

Finally got around to reinstalling on my main workstation. The last install was old enough that the ::gentoo tree still lived in /usr/portage!

Also ditched x11 (I'll miss you ), jumping into land (might take hikari for a spin). The root partition is also xfs now instead of ext4 (check out social.treehouse.systems/@thes)

For users: if you need a confirmation prior to killing windows, add this to your config:

set $close "Close the window? (Y/n)"
mode $close {
bindsym y kill, mode default
bindsym Return kill, mode default
bindsym n mode default
bindsym Escape mode default
}
bindsym $mod+q mode $close

After years of sniffing at it curiously, I started poking around with the DE on . It feels like there's a lot to learn and that it can be a bit of a time sink, and honestly, I'm all in.

I really wanted to use the i3 window manager on my Mint, but it kept breaking everything.
I did a fresh install, but my background got permanently black, and then I couldn't use apps installed from flatpak for whatever reason.

I guess I'm staying on Cinnamon. 😅

TBH, it's the other way around.
My lack of organisational skills forced me to find a solution.
If you look at my config gitlab.com/pcoves/i3/-/blob/ma I put a name on everything and force it to always be at the same place.
I KNOW my terminal is on workspace 1, browser on 2 etc.
And always one single window, no surprise.
But I can go from one to the other inna blink thanks to the keyboard.

I started using `default_border none` in my config and love it when black windows touch each other seamlessly.

Been using the Nord GTK theme a while and riced my i3 and rofi to match it. However, thinking of a new GTK theme to switch to. Any suggestions?
