#dankmaterialshell die meisten Maschinen auf noctalia umgestellt.
Allerdings vermisse ich zwei Dinge:
- Desktop Widgets immer im Vordergrund - praktisch wenn man seine Tageszeitung im Vollbild-Modus liest und trotzdem noch die Uhrzeit einblenden kann
- Wetteranzeige ist bei dms viel detaillierter (stündlich). Bei noctalia hat man nur die tägliche Angabe.

#windowtiling #niri #wayland #quickshell

The latest #niri 26.04 #danklinux #dms #dankmaterialshell 1.4.5 is live. The big changes being the blur feature in niri. Which at my age, if I look at the screen from the wrong angle, I get this without it even being needed in my window manager as a feature of my glasses!

You really don't want this feature when you have it, but once you have it, it'll be hard to live without. 🤓

From last #Friday; #Morning #Coffee and catching up on some #RSS feed reading.

I've really fallen in love fast with #Niri, so much so that it has actively replaced #GNOME on all my devices almost overnight — and, contrary to what a loud minority might think of it, I have always enjoyed using GNOME, and still prefer to use various GNOME and GNOME-related apps.

Niri is the first tiling (and, importantly, scrollable) window manager that has really clicked for me. Combined with the rather unfortunately named #DankMaterialShell, it really offers a fantastic setup that mostly just works for me.

I like having a GUI for some of the common tasks (like switching audio outputs, connecting to WiFi, toggling Bluetooth, etc.), and #DMS provides pretty much all of that. So the pair really ends up allowing me to just enjoy using my computer(s).

With this change in desktop environment, I've also decided to switch from #Fedora to #Debian. While some things feel a little less smooth or "desktop user nice" out of the box, it's a very nice and familiar feeling to be able to use something I've basically always used for my server needs, now in a desktop setting too.

There's nothing wrong with Fedora of course, I really feel that it's one of the best choices for a great out-of-the-box experience —with the exception of video decoding and if you're unfortunate enough to have picked Nvidia hardware, those two require a few manual steps— but I just want to try something that's a bit more... boring in the right way?

That, and I'm secretly keeping my fingers crossed that Debian will make some smart(er) decisions with regards to LLM/AI adoption. But given where everything is going in the tech world these days, that's probably a fool's errand on my part.

Adelantándome al #viernesdeescritorio

Sin cambios: #CachyOS con #niri + #DMS #DankMaterialShell, todo en #Catppuccin porque, habiendo Catppuccin, pa qué otra cosa?

#DailyDesktop #unixporn #showyourdesktop #linux #linuxdesktop

Nutze bei meiner #opensuse #slowroll Installation nun #noctaliashell statt #dankmaterialshell
Sehr viele Plugins, aber leider ist das web search plugins recht eingeschränkt. Man hat eine feste Vorauswahl und kann keinen eigenen Such-Provider definieren.
Das ist beim dms-Pendant besser.
Ansonsten ist das zweite - für mich wichtige - Plugin ein guter Ersatz: die Dateisuche. DMS hat hierfür ein eigenes Tool in Go. Noctalia nutzt hier einfach #fdfind
Passt.
