A few months of evenings and the first trailer is out!

somewm-one (rc.lua + themes) and somewm-shell (Quickshell desktop shell), both running on SomeWM, a full port of AwesomeWM to Wayland on wlroots 0.19. Sliding tags, multi-monitor, portrait,
SceneFX. Daily driver.

Preview, not a stable release yet, but the direction is clear.

I've never used tiling window managers like i3 (https://i3wm.org/) or awesome (https://awesomewm.org/) on my workstations. Perhaps I'm wrong, and I should definitely give them a try and always use them in the future. But for several years now, I've been using a different compromise: instead of tiling the entire screen, I tile the space only in the terminal using tmux and this config (https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux).

I have been playing around with awesome em for Linux and it is pretty good. main issue is I keep breaking my config and having to hunt down a problem because I can't leave things well enough alone.
Thank God I backed that shit up.

Between dependencies being archived and me basically not trusting code I can't look at, I vendored all the dependencies I could. But hey at least I got the #AwesomeWM config I was using a couple years ago.

Now we eat.

Had to spend some time getting #awesomewm to work on Fedora 43. Figured I'd write down the fix until the maintainers can get it patched.

I made a second attempt to migrate from #AwesomeWM to #Hyprland. It was not very straightforward, mostly because of the #x11 -> #wayland switch with an #NVIDIA #GPU.
I’m actually enjoying it, and I’m not even using waybar.

Introducing #Yashiki: A new tiling window manager for macOS.

If you miss #River or #AwesomeWM on your Mac, this is for you.

It features tag-based workspace management and an external layout engine (plugin system), heavily inspired by the River philosophy.
I built this over the weekend because I needed something closer to my Linux workflow.

@lymenzies It is AwesomeWM (https://awesomewm.org/) — it is configurable with Lua and has some batteries included. My configuration: https://codeberg.org/evgandr/dotfiles/src/branch/master/utils/awesome/.config/awesome

As a long-time #AwesomeWM and #River user on #Linux, I started a project called #AeroTag to extend #AeroSpace.

I’m super happy with the result. With this, I feel like I can finally live comfortably in the Mac world! ☺️
