Good to know, I may try that as well.

It is "Back to Xorg" though. This sort of feature benefits from the absolute coordinate system that X gives you, that's why it was more common in the X era WMs.

I am not obsessed with Wayland, and think the advantages are far less clear now that it is having to actually support a real and broad set of use cases. However, it it where the momentum is, which is important.

@qwertviop

yeah, that's a good call. Might be an idea to try sway anyway

https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/compare/packages/hyprland,sway,niri

probably simpler and more stable?

I installed niri with Dank Material Shell, then it complained about needing a newer Quickshell for "idle detect => suspend", so I upgraded to qs-git, and the machine started leaking so much memory, it's all over my floor now... 😂

Q: Linux compositors / tiling WMs:

- I have 2x27" monitors, and have used GNOME for many years

- I am a big user of workspaces: One activity per workspace, *ACROSS BOTH MONITORS*

- I want to seriously give a (wayland?) WM a go, and have tried hyprland and niri

- I cannot seem to capture my mental model / workflow with these WMs. I love the tiling (clean, space efficient + KB driven), but the workspaces are *PER MONITOR*

What am I missing?

reminder that anthropic ran (and is still running) an ENTIRE AD CAMPAIGN around "Claude code is written with claude code" and after the source was leaked that has got to be the funniest self-own in the history of advertising because OH BOY IT SHOWS.

it's hard to get across in microblogging format just how big of a dumpster fire this thing is, because what it "looks like" is "everything is done a dozen times in a dozen different ways, and everything is just sort of jammed in anywhere. to the degree there is any kind of coherent structure like 'tools' and 'agents' and whatnot, it's entirely undercut by how the entire rest of the code might have written in some special condition that completely changes how any such thing might work." I have read a lot of unrefined, straight from the LLM code, and Claude code is a masterclass in exactly what you get when you do that - an incomprehensible mess.

Jetzt stell dir mal vor, wir würden die ganze "KI"-Kohle in Bildung investieren und eine bereits vorhandene natürliche Superintelligenz mit Trainingsdaten versorgen.

@ElaWild @threecoloured @Tami

Im ersten Punkt stimme ich dir zu.

Den zweiten verstehe ich nicht ganz.

@ElaWild @threecoloured @Tami

Was Du hier ansprichst ist sehr wichtig.

Ich habe, als Mann, viele Erfahrungen gemacht, wo Frauen, auch auf viel subtilere Weise, Gleichberechtigung weder erwarten noch ertragen.

Ich bin teilweise in NZ aufgewachsen somit fiel mir das in Europa auf. Habe am Mann/Frau Verhältnis in NZ einiges zu kritisieren, aber in diesem Punkt sind sie uns um einiges voraus.

@Sdowney white smoke!

indeed... the old skill of advanced searching is needed more than ever

Next day:

"go old school", and do a traditional search....That produced a "reddit" result on the #1 spot, because search sucks these days.

But that topic actually has a human reply to the same problem, with the correct answer and refers to the wiki for the distro (should have checked there first!), which also has human written documentation confirming said answer.

Needless to say, said answer works first time.

Total old school time: < 3min => Success

Total LLM time: 30mins => Failure.
