TIL: there’s a thing named #DankLinux, which is “a complete desktop shell for #niri, #Hyprland, #MangoWC, #Sway, #labwc, #Scroll, #MiracleWM, and other #Wayland compositors”. This might be a quick and easy way to get all the little details working out of the box, and to get a consistent look’n’feel as a bonus.
(EDIT: oh, and it’s based on #QuickShell.)
@tpaau17db @dogriley Ok, I get what you're saying now.
I mean, it's a tradeoff, obviously. Each version is frozen with a specific set of tools and that's what you pay for playing outside the DE world.
While accessibility as you seem to understand it is arguably better for #Gnome (and MUCH better for #plasma), if something DOES break, you're lost with a DE and you can usually just edit the hook on #quickshell.
@tpaau17db @dogriley #Quickshell is *NOT* a DE, it is a shell toolkit.
I don't recommend it because I think everybody should use it (in fact they probably shouldn't).
I was addressing the assertion that Cinnamon is "peak desktop" (which, compared to Ubuntu, is correct) and wanted to point out how there are other options that can do way, way, waaaay cooler stuff (and on a lower budget) - if that's what you want.
@dogriley You picked the worst possible contender to do your comparison... go look up https://quickshell.org now 😅

It is certainly a very interesting observation that many of the "good" shells based on #quickshell and #ags seem to be moving to native rewrites these days. It's almost like there inevitably comes a point where wlr-layer frameworks become too limited.
Hier zwei #wayle repositorys für #opensuse ( #slowroll #tumbleweed ):

Erinnert mehr an #waybar als an eine #quickshell Umgebung. Gibt für Einstellungen sogar eine Gui.
Wem #quickshell zum Hals raushängt, hier eine interessante Alternative in #gtk4 / #rust
