I'm making a #rakulang terminal emulator heavily inspired by #XMonad (automatic tiling, focus follows mouse, and multi-window). VTE is doing the heavy lifting, but it's at the point where I can develop it from itself.

Window Managers

Window managers on macOS (and Windows) are auxiliary programs that try to complement the system’s own handling of windows, and are not as powerful as X11 window managers. However, (...)

Was mache ich da? Ich verbessere weiter meine #Xmonad Konfiguration!

Für Gaming kann ich nun mit Mod+F das Dock ausblenden. Was sonst noch zu tun ist, ist dass ich mein Esc+Capslock-Swap rückgängig machen muss. Einige Games nutzen Capslock.

@nwcs and I'm running into low battery quite often because I'm using #xmonad and haven't set up proper battery notifications with it yet... also by accident had been plugging in a 5V #USBC cable instead of the 20V one in the #Nobreakspace a few times...
Yesterday forgot to plug in the laptop AC or to close the lid for standby before going to sleep. 😅

I’ve been using #DWM for more than a year without major issues. I like that it’s written in C as I can easily understand it’s code and configure it to my liking.

But due to its multiple limitations with fullscreen apps I’m being forced to move back to #Xmonad.

If you're using #xmonad on #freebsd, are trying to update to 0.18.1, have gcc installed, and are getting errors in `cabal build` about an unsupported flag for `ar`, then the the problem may be that gcc's `ar` is being used instead of llvm's `ar`. It can be worked around by adding `--with-ar=/usr/bin/ar` to the `cabal build` call. 🎉

@vbabka @poni yeah, well...

I'll play with it at some point as well. If it can really be scripted then maybe that's all I need?

But then gnome-shell can also be scripted and it's an absolute pile of dogshit.

(people on #xmonad@libera have since returned back to xmonad from Wayland something but it's very personal - some actually like xmonad's layouts, some are there only for the flexibility and are better served by something else as long as it's flexible enough)

Said goodbye to #XMonad today on my development machine. It's been a good run, but #Wayland is coming to replace #XServer and it doesn't look like XMonad is coming to the other side.

So far feeling fairly okay with #Niri, though of course the beginning is always stumbly and I've yet to drive it in an actual workflow. And many of the keybinding defaults are some flavour of disaster in my locale, but that's a given with a lot of tech. Little bit at a time, this will become more usable. Especially after I also finally ditch the big tech OS on my daily driver later this week. This whole smaller migration was a preliminary task for that.
