[GNOME] My first rice and workflow, Fedora + GNOME works like a dream! - Lemmy.world

Here’s a video of my workflow [https://imgur.com/a/DGK4roy] if anyone’s interested! All the credit for the gorgeous implementation of the tiling goes to the devs over at PaperWM! Better than some tiling WMs that I’ve tried!

That tiling looks really slick. I’ll have to give it a try, I’m using POP_OS Shell right now which does the trick but I’m curious how it stacks up.
Show threadStoicLimeOct 6, 2023
I tried POP_OS Shell too, but the animations were just way too janky for me, and I didn’t like that. I tried out Forge and some others but they were all pretty much the same. PaperWM on the other hand takes a completely different approach and stacks them in an infinite horizontal scrollable list. After using this implementation for a couple of weeks, I just can’t go back to anything else at all!

Have you tried SwayWM? If so, what differentiates Paper from Sway?

I'm asking mainly as a Sway user curious about other options (not because I dislike it, it works pretty well for me and I like the automation aspect).

I did try sway but the first thing I got was a config error… on a completely fresh install!

Anyways, PaperWM is just a Gnome extension, giving tiling within Gnome instead of being a dedicated WM like Sway or i3.

Just and fyi. Rice/ricing is a derogatory term and really shouldn’t be used.
Show threadStoicLimeOct 6, 2023
May I ask how is it derogatory? I’ve just seen it used a lot on unixporn subs and communities, clearly it’s not meant in a derogatory fashion.

Yeah, last I checked it was used in the 1980’s and only in like US and UK(only like** 5%** global population). Half the people in this community wasn’t even born then. When most people hear the term ricing they think about theming their desktops, not about the car culture thing.

Thanks!

Nice desktop! I see you use Obsidian and Logseq, may I ask why do you use both? I’m still deciding how to PKM.
Show threadStoicLimeOct 7, 2023
I prefer Logseq’s workflow but the app on Obsidian is just so much faster, I do end up using it
Show threadMoshpiritOct 8, 2023
Oh I see haha I thought Obsidian would be much heavier than logseq due to all the plugins and stuff, TBH.

Too good for a first rice

Thanks!

btw how the loading time? For me even without extensions, the time between the login screen and usable desktop is very high.
Show threadStoicLimeOct 7, 2023
It’s about 1-2s for me which is fast enough
Show threadVicFic!Oct 7, 2023
Wait really? It takes like a whole minute for me
Show threadStoicLimeOct 7, 2023
That’s weird. Is it a specs issue? What distro are you running?

I had a Bad ssd that had a similar effect. Even though it passed the badblocks test every time. Maybe there is something in the logs about the controller.
Show threadVicFic!Oct 7, 2023
I’m running gnome on Arch. Im using a hard drive so that might explain it. Also it sometimes unexpectedly freezes(might be my nvidia gpu). I’ve spent months scouring forums and chatting with fellow users but non have found any way to increase the speed.

Im using a hard drive

Yeah that explains a lot… An ssd will make a giant difference, and they’re really cheap right now
