So I tested #somewm (#awesomewm wayland fork, and yea this time legit).
To my surprise, it works. Most of my issues were caused because of my unfounded attachment to deprecated awesome API functions and me being totally alien to #wayland environment.
For now I am still on X, but it's nice to see there is light at the end of the tunnel this time, not another train. -

I've been an #fvwm user for a long time (early 2000's) and I've always appreciated it being more configurable than any other window manager out there.
But lately, there's been a few excellent scriptable window managers popping up that have it beat. After many random attempts, I've finally switched the main desktop to #awesomewm
The biggest challenge has been how to make it not look so darn flat. I like my #cde / #motif / #4dwm / whatever style borders, so getting that implemented in awesomewm took me an embarrassingly long time, but the fact that I was able to do it, is certainly a testament to it's customizability.
Video of what it looks like:

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).

I have been playing around with awesome em for Linux and it is pretty good. main issue is I keep breaking my config and having to hunt down a problem because I can't leave things well enough alone.
Thank God I backed that shit up.

Got a fennel repl running in a live session of awesome.
Had to do some troubleshooting to find out why the "message" option to the repl wasn't messaging. Turns out it is a recent addition and I was running on an older version of fennel. Everything works in 1.6

Снова поставила #arch
Порадовало, что второй раз было проще.
Некоторые моменты сама делала без подсказок руководств.
(С учётом, что я не очень-то прогер и тому подобные)Переустанавливала, потому что что-то накосячила с настройками сети, и к интернету комп не подключался.
В итоге при переустановке выяснилось, что к интернету я всё ещё не могу подключиться...
Оказалось дело было в кабеле... 🙂 ...
Ну ладно. Попробую, что такое #awesomeWM

After wandering in the window manager wilderness for years, I reinstalled #Gnome today. It seems a bit more robust than I remember and more importantly, is a lot less demanding than #awesomewm on my time.
Eventually I may end up cycling back to being a MacOS user who never changes the defaults. Not sure how to feel about that.

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 ... ;-)

Have been experimenting with #awesomewm but not sure what add-ons are good in this ecosystem.
I like that it's in #lua because I use WezTerm and Neovim, having one configuration language to rule them all is neat.
How can I configure it to work similarly to #i3 with Polybar add-ons etc? I don't care that much about visual effects; only speed and good workflows.

#Linux #RiverWM #Awesomewm
Заменилrivertileнаfiltile. Теперь свойства прикреплены не ко всем тегам. Они уникальны. Теперь размер окон, границы и прочее - всё это уникально. :blobcatcomfsip:
Хоть что-то полезное.
Также пытался сделать Vim-like комбинации. Получилось не очень. Ибо в vim'е кроме обычных v, G, i, a и пр. есть последовательные комбинации клавиш. Пример: 5g, 2d, gg, d32j, V48jd и пр., где регистр учитывается.
Для AwesomeWM уже давно как есть плагины как modalawesome или awesome-modalbind. RiverWM встроенно поддерживает различные "моды". Можно также приклеить на одну букву вызов терминала, браузер и прочее. Но вот с последовательными кейбиндами жёпа. :blobcatcomfsip:
Надо думать, разбираться, сочинять. -
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 :-)

I thought I was going crazy. #Thunderbird showed a notification about a new #email, but when I clicked on it to go to my inbox, there was no email there.
It turned out that the system pop-ups from #awesomewm now show quick actions, and either I periodically click on delete, or the clicks themselves are counted incorrectly.
In short, I found a bunch of important emails in the trash 😞
