1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    • We tried setting up hyprland with Arch
    • Used an older guide, updated and translated it to the newest standard, learning about the unique scripting
    • Get almost everything working
    • Actually loved the feel of the ui and did get used to using terminal for almost everything
    • Things started falling apart
    • Steam started fucking up, everything was going horrible.
    • joined the support discord, found problem doing good over more :)
    • Update? Oo oki!
    • Hyprland: hmm nice fully custom set up you have here, would be a shame if someone were to change all the ui script you literally just learned :)
    • :(
    • Back on KDE + Cachy OS as we didn’t want to fight with our computer anymore, it’s good, great even, but… missing the window management of Hyprland now.
    • Don’t get us wrong, we’re very happy with KDE! It’s just… that window management 🥺
    • if only we could get that in KDE

    I like Niri a lot. Plus the maintainer isn't an asshole.

    [–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Haven’t heard of Niri, what’s that one all about?

    [–] andicraft@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

    It's a column-based tiling window manager, with scrolling!

    That's why sway and river exist. They're actually stable.

    [–] Kr4u7@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    Sway still struggling with screensharing (specifically window sharing) tho or atleast it was last time I yried it in february :(

    [–] ArrowMax@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Sway 1.12, released last week, added support for capturing individual windows.

    [–] Kr4u7@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Yay it worked, still not usable for me tho, since XWayland fucks up too many applications I need and moving windows with my mod key + left mouse does not count as a single input which then opens rofi which is bound to mod qq

    [–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

    I had that issue with the mod key launcher too, but instead of looking up a proper fix I turned my Capslock key into my launcher lol

    [–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

    For river, I had to do some kind of fix. I'll talk about it later. Reply if I forget.

    [–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Haven’t heard of them before tbh, from the replies Sway not be super stable. And river?

    [–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

    I have my (edit: RIVER) config for over a year and it's very reliable. It never broke on me apart from the misconfigurations which were my fault.

    It also integrates well with Waybar and is compatible with other Wayland tools for wlroots.

    But keep in mind that my config is relatively minimal.

    Hyprland is cancer by cancer
