Long after making it, it finally became useful for more than avoiding to type 'sway --unsupported-gpu'.

Turns out some software on linux doesn't work well with tiling compositors. Some doesn't work well with Wayland desktops. Some doesn't work with some X11 desktops for no apparent reason, but does work with different X11 desktops.

Introducing #Yashiki: A new tiling window manager for macOS.

If you miss #River or #AwesomeWM on your Mac, this is for you.

It features tag-based workspace management and an external layout engine (plugin system), heavily inspired by the River philosophy.
I built this over the weekend because I needed something closer to my Linux workflow.

As a long-time #AwesomeWM and #River user on #Linux, I started a project called #AeroTag to extend #AeroSpace.

I’m super happy with the result. With this, I feel like I can finally live comfortably in the Mac world! ☺️

Been using #Linux as my daily driver for almost two years now. Still interact with #windows at work from time to time, could never go back to it for my own computer though!

People need to understand that it can break from time to time, especially when you're using a Linux distro with a rolling release. if you're looking for something stable, try #debian.

If you're looking for something more 'bleeding edge', I can't recommend #arch enough (obligatory 'I'm using arch btw'). You'll get

- a great wiki with plenty of details, tutorials and explanations
- a big user base
- a system that is customizable to your needs
- a system that lets you run up-to-date software

Don't expect smooth sailing though. you will learn a lot during installation and setup. things that 'just work' on windows, might need you to tinker/research a bit on Linux. Things will break with updates because software dependencies might break when using more recent and not-so-battletested software.

but it's a learning curve you wouldn't want to miss IMO. You'll need a weekend or so to set things up in an efficient way for you.

I recommend checking out the various Desktop Environments available and see which one appeals to you. Been using #gnome #kde #xfce #hyprland and switched to #niri recently. It's just so efficient and the work flow is perfect for my needs.

Moving Back to a Tiling WM – XMonad

📁 [COD] I've built a modal #XMonad config so you don't have to. This way, the #tilingWM can be used like #Vim with different modes and appropriate keybindings:

 My #XMonad modal configuration works (after many hours of work). A few small adjustments are still missing but they are manageable. Completely new operating concept - let's go!

#tilingwm #haskell

📁 [PRO] #XMonad is a #TilingWM written in #Haskell. In my humble opinion, it's one of the best. I've written down why, how I configured my XMonad, and what's planned for the future:
