  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.

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

  14. 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.

  19. 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.

  23. 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

  31. 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
