Emotional roller-coaster of the day:

• 🎉 finding a new tiling window manager (yay!) : #LeftWM
• 😱 it has a non-standard configuration format (#RON)
• 🦀 it’s written in #RustLang (blazingly fast!)
• 😭 it’s designed for #XOrg, not #Wayland.

Oh well. Maybe next time.

Buen finde! (◕‿◕) Have fun!

On #Hyperland for a week now and I like it. There are some features I miss that I used in #leftwm for example I miss the option to have a lot of difference layouts. Now i have master layout with different orientations, but I would love to use grid sometimes, or monocle (single window is visible only and I can swap between then with mod+j/k like how I move between windows). I miss the ability to query every single detail of the wm as well, for example I have rofi launcher that lists all layout options I can use and auto-selects the one I'm currently on, with hyperland I can't do that, at least I couldn't find a way to do that. Or the deck layout is very useful (in some wms it's called tabbed), I rarely use it but sometimes it's useful.

Anyway, I like it and I'll stay with it. I'll still follow LeftWM and launch it time to time (after updates) so my config doesn't get outdated in case I have/want to move back.

Spent 6 hours to configure #Hyperland the way it's not annoying and can do the same thing or at least it works similar way as #leftwm does. It works. I already hate I had to swap #lightdm out as I couldn't start Hyperland with it at all :( I like lightdm and it works, now I have sddm and I spent like 1.5 hours just on that bullshit to configure a f*ing theme that's not ugly and it works :( Probably worst experience with dms ever and I started using linux in the previous millennium (lol, I know it's still called 90s but "previous millennium" sounds way cooler, and you can't change my mind).

For everything else, well I had to rewrite a lot of things, for example my maim scripts had to be rewritten to use grim and slurp. Basically a lot of tools had to be rewritten. I still use rofi because wofi doesn't support all features the same way as rofi does and I had zero intention to rewrite my 100+ lines long rasi files as wofi config and css and figure out everything for that. rofi stays for a while.

My first screenshot using Hyprland.

I decided that it was time to get serious using wayland and actually make the switch from #leftwm to #hyprland. So far I really like using hyprland. I'm especially glad that emacs now works in wayland.

Just downloaded the latest version of #leftwm (0.5.3). Nice release.

I really like the simplicity of Leftwm. Nice easily understood config files. The themes are easy to set up. Plus it has some really nice screen layouts.

I have also been using https://github.com/houmain/keymapper #keymapper as a replacement for the Leftwm key program. This lets me do chords and Modes. with Leftwm along with straightening out some of the funkiness of my Velocifire m2 keyboard
