  1. How can a desktop environment like GNOME be so popular when, honestly, nobody would use it without extensions? Every day there are new extensions for window management, making the desktop look nicer... The problem is that extensions sometimes mess with each other (for keyboard shortcuts for example) and break after every GNOME update. Thank goodness Niri and DMS exist if you want a lightweight and actually functional desktop.
    Really hope that Fedora 45 will come with an official Niri and DMS spin.

  3. #Danklinux is a great alternative to the big desktops environments on Linux, it goes fast and comfortable, specially in archlinux and their derivatives... #Linux :linux: :archlinux: :terminal:

  4. Can we get some form of #immutable #BSD already? #Linux is increasingly accepting #AI slop and the BSD community has taken a strong stand against that.

    I'd like to deploy a *BSD core with a #DankLinux user experience, access to Flatpak via something like #FlatVodka and if anyone has it working., #brew support.

  6. TIL: there’s a thing named #DankLinux, which is “a complete desktop shell for #niri, #Hyprland, #MangoWC, #Sway, #labwc, #Scroll, #MiracleWM, and other #Wayland compositors”. This might be a quick and easy way to get all the little details working out of the box, and to get a consistent look’n’feel as a bonus.

    (EDIT: oh, and it’s based on #QuickShell.)

  10. 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. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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

  17. 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

  21. 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:

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

  24. 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

  25. 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.

    Video on YouTube for quality motives:

  26. 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.

  27. @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:

  28. #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!
