So I've decided to go with #CachyOS (again) for a while, this time testing out their default #MangoWC setup.

Which, I was surprised to learn, uses #DankLinux. So that was a pleasent discovery.

Anyway, so far so good. MangoWC isn't as flashy as Hyprland, but it's pretty enough, easy to configure, and the project isn't run by a transphobic shitheel.

The default keybinds aren't terrible, although I'm probably going to switch some around to be closer to my default #Niri setup. The install itself is quite minimal, without so much as a premade directory in ~/ (except /.local and /.config of course) and no GUI text editor (Neovim and Micro are preinstalled). I like being able to pick the one I want, so that was a big plus, actually.

The default file manager is #Nautilus (#Gnome Files), which took me by surprise, but it's a good choice with a strong feature set that blends into the minimalist aesthetic.

It defaults to #Firefox, but you can choose to leave it out at install and pacman in your favorite instead.

Sweet. #VoidLinux installed to new partition. Dual boot #Arch and #Void is working good. Got WiFi working and void update done. Default font was way too small for my old eyes. Couldn't seem to find any that were larger in the default console fonts folder though. Copied over the HUGE ter-132b from my Arch partition and I can read again.

Next up getting a little more familiar with void and maybe checking out #MangoWC

at last, i can ditch that toxic hyprland https://github.com/quickshell-mirror/quickshell/pull/609

#wayland #windowtiling #niri #mangowc

Seit längerem auf meinem Arbeitsrechner von #mangowc auf #niri umgestellt.
scratchpad fehlt nun leider, aber dafür kann ich die unterschiedlichen SAP-Systeme (Produktiv, Test) wieder anhand der Fensterrahmenfarbe erkennen. Die Möglichkeit verschiedene Tilings, je nach Tag, einzustellen nutzte ich kaum.
Und die Übersichten sind bei niri schon Klasse, sowohl die Workspace-Übersicht als auch die Fensterübersicht!
Hier kann man sehr schön justieren, ob man nur die Fenster des Monitors, des Workspaces oder alle Fenster sehen möchte.
