  1. So I've decided to go with #CachyOS (again) for a while, this time testing out their default #MangoWC setup.

    Which, I was surprised to learn, uses #DankLinux. So that was a pleasent discovery.

    Anyway, so far so good. MangoWC isn't as flashy as Hyprland, but it's pretty enough, easy to configure, and the project isn't run by a transphobic shitheel.

    The default keybinds aren't terrible, although I'm probably going to switch some around to be closer to my default #Niri setup. The install itself is quite minimal, without so much as a premade directory in ~/ (except /.local and /.config of course) and no GUI text editor (Neovim and Micro are preinstalled). I like being able to pick the one I want, so that was a big plus, actually.

    The default file manager is #Nautilus (#Gnome Files), which took me by surprise, but it's a good choice with a strong feature set that blends into the minimalist aesthetic.

    It defaults to #Firefox, but you can choose to leave it out at install and pacman in your favorite instead.

  4. Instead of trying to fix (honestly impressive) fuckup, I decided to just reinstall #Arch and #DankLinux. It was a lot easier than the other options, and I wanted to do some different stuff this time anyway.

    For instance, I did a minimal install (no desktop) with just a few tools by default, and then curled the dank installer. Wow does that thing work well, provided you manually install #QuickShell first (at least for me, it kept trying to install both the regular QuickShell and the hit version from the AUR.)

    I also set up my favorite file manager (#Nemo), installed #Waterfox and #Helium, and did some other fun stuff.

    Now I'm gonna see if I can get Dank working on MangoWM et all. Don't get me wrong, #Niri is gorgeous and easy to use. I'm just havin' fun.

  10. Escrevi meu primeiro plugin para o niri + DankMaterialShell — e documentei o caminho até funcionar 🐧

    A ideia era simples: exibir a versão do kernel e o uptime do sistema direto na barra, sem abrir terminal. Resultado: `6.19.6-arch1-1 ⏱ 7h 54m`.

    O que parecia meia hora virou um aprendizado sobre:
    → QML e a API de plugins do Quickshell
    → Qual sinal usar (`onStreamFinished`, não `onStreamEnded`)
    → Cache agressivo do DMS que ignora alterações em arquivo
    → `/proc/uptime` + awk como alternativa mais confiável ao `uptime -p`

    O atalho mais útil do processo: usar o próprio código-fonte do DMS como documentação. `grep -r` em `/usr/share/quickshell/dms/` resolve mais rápido do que qualquer busca externa.

  11. I'm using #danklinux shell with #Niri in my @archlinux installation, and it's been a very pleasant experience, so far.

    Amazed with how far they have achieved in such a short time. #NiceJob

  12. I just published a new version of the #DankLinux Workd Clock Plugin.

    A Plugin for the DankBar allowing multiple clocks to show with reasonable settings and visuals.

    • Show multiple clocks
    • Use flags as labels
    • Control Visibility
    • Reorder
    • Show icon only
    • Cycle clocks

    Future plans:

    • Add weather report to each place
    • Add a Desktop Widget
    • Show the day offset
    • Show the TZ code
    • Track Daylight Saving Time

  13. It is very nice to see how the #DankLinux plugins ecosystem is growing!

    Unbelievable that I started this just because I wanted a multi timezone clock, and now we have 80+ Plugins.

    New Plugins I am using:

    • AI Chat with multi provider support #gemini #claude #ollama
    • Air Quality Monitor
    • Package Updates for DNF and Flatpak #fedora
    • Claude code usage monitor

    Much more on https://danklinux.com/plugins

  14. What's new on #DankLinux plugins

    • Calculator now can use qalc as backend, allowing expressions
    • DeepL translator right on your DankBar
    • DeveloperTools widget

  15. I'm testing this new shell and I have to admit that I like its workflow and the aesthetics.. I think it's something similar to cosmic desktop but with steroids... if this project keeps a regular development, it could be a revelation in #DankLinux #Linux 👇 :linux:

  16. Testing #danklinux with #debian in a virtualbox. incredible work!!!! ... but not my personal taste... but amazing work

  17. BTW this is is my current mail setup using #niri + #danklinux  (on top of Fedora on M1 Air).  All the visual peace of  a console client but still  offering preview one shortcut away.

    - #mbsync maintains my IMAP boxes synced locally
    - #aerc friendly console mail client
    - #qutebrowser to preview HTML when I really need to

  18. If you’re sad about Mac OS 26 and looking for alternatives, my 2020 MacBook Air is quite happy (dual booting) #Asahi Linux / #Fedora with #DankLinux on top.

    Seen here streaming a remote game on a local network Sunshine server. Works fine at 1080/60FPS despite moonlight complains about lack of acceleration. The M1 hardware is still quite capable.

  19. Interestingly #Niri 's way of tiling windows (vertically in an infinite row with vertical workspaces)  has me using focus-follows-mouse for the first time in like forever.  I know I always have either two or three tiles on my laptop with little risks of the pointer moving on top of a small overlapping window.
    It works great in combination with warp-mouse-to-focus which can bring your mouse to the view you just selected with keyboard shortcuts, making sure it is always close to the action.

  20. @gregopet what is it based on, what's the guist of #danklinux?

    I'm most interested in #guix, which is based on functional pkg manager, the same way as #nix but it is not as pragmatic as nix is when it comes to user freedom. :blobcoffee:

  21. #DankLinux 1.0 is released!

    Niri + DMS is One of the best desktop experiences I ever had!

    I started contributing because I wanted to add a multi-timezone clock to my bar and ended up creating a plugin system and maintaining the plugin registry, few months later we now have 26 plugins in the ecosystem!

Wow does that thing work well, provided you manually install #QuickShell first (at least for me, it kept trying to install both the regular QuickShell and the hit version from the AUR.)

    I also set up my favorite file manager (#Nemo), installed #Waterfox and #Helium, and did some other fun stuff.
