An interesting tiling Window Manager has spawned upon the Open Source plane

kuskokwim

Dependencies

• Python
• has Vim VimMasterRace bindings
• Wayland River compositor (>= 0.4).
• alpha version

Interesting points
*   Composable keybindings inspired by vim
*   Spawned processes can be tracked and restarted, bound to keys, etc.
*   Many other objects (workspaces, outputs, windows, etc.) can be bound to keys
*   Preferentially attach workspaces to specific outputs

Honestly, I don’t think Cosmic Desktop is as revolutionary as many people seem to claim. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice and functional, but still very immature and definitely not revolutionary. In practice, it’s GNOME with tiling. Niri is revolutionary, but it’s a Window Manager, not a Desktop Environment. That’s where Dank Shell comes in: I’ve been using Niri + Dank Shell for two months, and the level of convenience is truly revolutionary.

This excellent video and link to the configs by @justaguylinux has me wanting to install and explore i3wm:

I have this notion of configuring my Xorg desktop on Alpine Linux to have a single desktop with all windows as tabs, and i3wm has a built-in tab mode.

Help :)

Being a FreeBSD/Linux sysadmin for ages, I’ve spent most of my life using those OSes headless (them, not me) on the server side and macOS on the desktop side.

Now that I want to try and get a proper FreeBSD desktop I’m facing a whole new field of knowledge I don’t have (yet).

Is there a good and comprehensive resource that explains layer after layer the structure of a full desktop cake?

What’s the «Desktop» role (ex. LXQT), what’s the «Window Manager» role (ex. XFWM4), what’s the «Graphics Platform» role (ex. X11) and how do they plug/interact, how do one chooses the layers for one’s desktop cake, etc. ?
Where does the login part comes into play? What’s the difference between X11 and Xorg? Can you mix & match anything?
