Budgie 10.8 released

Budgie 10.8 is a brand new release series for Budgie Desktop, featuring improvements to Budgie Menu, adoption of StatusNotifier support in System Tray, Magpie v0.x support, and more!

I'm quite happy Budgie is back on track after a few leaner years. Development has picked up, there's a clear roadmap, and it's fun to follow along with the changes and improvements.

IceWM 3.4.0 released

IceWM 3.4.0 might as well be called the Keybinding Update, since virtually all changes are related to them in some way. This release adds support for keybindings to literal Latin-1 characters, all UTF-8 code points in keybindings, and more.

#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.

#WindowManagers

Hey #AskFedi,

Are there any #Tiling #WindowManagers other than #i3wm and #Sway that support tabbed windows? Just curious.

First day of using a Tiled Window Manager. Went with #bspwm on #ArchCraft, and it's been great so far.
I love how everything is categorised into different sections, and everything organizes itself because of the tiled nature. Definitely a daily driver contender for my work machine

Any tips for me when I switch from #dwm to #xmonad?

I have absolutely had it with KDE Plasma! Completely bloated, constantly breaking dumpster fire of a DE! The only DE I will ever use is XFCE. That bring said, I'm finally making the jump to i3 on my main machine. No more putting it off.

For those of you who want to get into #windowmanagers, I just tried out #Arcolinux distro of both #i3 and #BSPWM. They offer a pre-configured version of each, and more, so it works right out of the box. It is a bit too pre-configured for my taste, but it a is a perfect intro for those wanting to get into window managers while still being able to use your machine while you learn.
