#awesomewm — Public Fediverse posts

A few months of evenings and the first trailer is out!

somewm-one (rc.lua + themes) and somewm-shell (Quickshell desktop shell), both running on SomeWM, a full port of AwesomeWM to Wayland on wlroots 0.19. Sliding tags, multi-monitor, portrait,
SceneFX. Daily driver.

Preview, not a stable release yet, but the direction is clear.

I've never used tiling window managers like i3 (https://i3wm.org/) or awesome (https://awesomewm.org/) on my workstations. Perhaps I'm wrong, and I should definitely give them a try and always use them in the future. But for several years now, I've been using a different compromise: instead of tiling the entire screen, I tile the space only in the terminal using tmux and this config (https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux).

@lymenzies It is AwesomeWM (https://awesomewm.org/) — it is configurable with Lua and has some batteries included. My configuration: https://codeberg.org/evgandr/dotfiles/src/branch/master/utils/awesome/.config/awesome

Funny, that #Libreboot in the #fastfetch output displayed as "CBET4000" — the same letters used for the word "Light" (свет) in Russian. So, I read this line as "LIGHT4000" :drgn_blush_giggle:

#FreeBSD #AwesomeWM

According to vaxry https://x.com/vaxryy, switching from #Hyprland to #bspwm might be a crime https://x.com/hyprwm/status/1971576262327173321 :-). As seen below, one could also switch to something less criminal on #XLibre like #awesomewm. Or #dwm. Or ... ;-)

Heavily considering giving #niri a try after #paperwm has been causing some stability issues lately. I'm not sure if I'm ready to go back to a non-DE setup though (ran #openbox and #awesomewm back in the day). Niri sure is tempting though :-)

Kinda frustrated with the state of #desktops in #Linux / #BSD / #Unix

You can either have a fully functional, but kind of frustrating-to-use (too mouse-centric) desktop with Gnome or KDE Plasma, or you can have a lean, efficient, and fast wm/compositor like #i3, #sway #awesomewm #evilwm, #cwm, #bspwm, or whatever you like, BUT you will constantly be scratching your head when #Gnome and #GTK programs either start very slowly or refuse to run at all, and are constantly trying to figure out what combination of configuration, daemon, and small animal sacrifices are necessary to do what the big, bloated desktops do automatically.

It's freaking exhausting, and I want to go back to the days that every one just ran #IceWM, #Enlightenment, or #WindowMaker.

P.S., Just for clarity, I really do love #KDE #Plasma. I think it's a wonderful, easy-to-use, and extremely flexible desktop. But sometimes I really don't want a desktop, I just want a lean-and-basic UI that stays out of my way (for home stuff vs. work stuff, generally).

Last change on the software side of my dev setup was to start using #PaperWM. It’s so awesome! It’s fast, smooth, has exactly what I need from a window manager, and it’s rock solid. In the past I’ve been using #awesomewm, #xmonad, #i3wm and while I liked them all better than classic floating WMs, only PaperWM feels exactly like what I always needed. And, on a 120hz display its quick animations look fantastic.

Personally I use #xmonad though. I wouldn't recommend using it unless you want to learn #haskell. I have used #awesomeWM and #qtile as well, but I am not as well versed in them.

Haskell was quite fun to learn as its a purely functional language with no object oriented ability.

The reason why I use xmonad is primarily because there are so many libraries for it. I #polybar rather than #xmobar.
