  1. I am starting to worry.
    Dwl installed just fine, I compiled it from source. Learned how-to and applied the specific wlroots version in Gentoo. Applications I need are there. Five patches applied, all good. Even got noctalia-shell running. The project has been revived and a lot of patches have been updated to the latest version in the last month.
    I stop tweaking now. Have to end the weekend on a high. Beer is cold. More next week!
    #gentoo #dwl

  2. Earlier this year I had shared that my Lenovo laptop was struggling to run Minecraft and Vintage Story, with the later eventually becoming unplayable.

    At the time I put this down to thermal throttling. I have since replaced Windows 11 on this machine with a minimal #debian install using #dwl and I now get a solid 50fps in Minecraft (vsynced 60 with optimise mods) and Vintage Story runs at a solid 60fps on high settings.

    What magic is this?

  3. Je suis pas sûr-e d'avoir compris ce qu'est dwl. Ça permet d'avoir des ses fenêtre en tiling ? Je pourrais me passer de Polonium ?

    Je suis sous Arch (Wayland) + KDE et je voulais du tiling mais j'ai toujours des petits problèmes, d'où ma question.

    #KDE #Arch #Linux #Wayland #dwl

  4. I know 2 wayland compositors that are tag-based tiling window management: river and dwl. However I don't see how to provide this feature with them, as it requires access to key press & release events
    #river #dwl

  5. @JustineSmithies I used #dwm on X. When I moved to wayland, #dwl wasn't very good. Found #riverwm and didn't look back. With river changing in the future, I tried dwl again. It's in a good state. I only use a few more patches compared to dwm. Only issue was making a couple changes to shiftview/pertag patches since I'm also using the bar patch. swallow/namedscratchpads also had to sort the order in rules.

    For warpcursor, you can also use wlrctl instead of the patch.

  6. CW: Emacs, exwm et wayland

    Ces jours-ci je réfléchis à préparer une migration vers un environnement wayland

    Mais je n'ai pas envie de perdre l'expérience offerte par exwm, à savoir le minimalisme visuel, la fluidité des chargements et la tranquillité du processeur.

    Il y a
    #swaywm, mais ça reste encore trol lourd à mon goût

    Alors je viens de voir
    #dwl (fork de dwm compatible wayland) et de découvrir #dwl-guile qui a un package #guix qui s'installe via un service home (alternaive à systemd). Ce dernier m'intéresse particulièrement, puisqu'il intègre directement emacs dans l'environnement. Mais pour le prendre en main, il me faudrait comprendre et maîtriser #guile...

  7. I've been attempting to patch #DWL to add support for touch events, so that the virtual keyboard is easier to use on the Steam Deck. It should help with other applications as well.

    It would be nice on the tablet as well

  8. I now have my #NixOS config for my #SteamDeck working really nicely with #DWL and #wvkbd

    It is so damned nice to be able to "switch to desktop mode" and suddenly be in my normal environment, with my tiling compositor, and all my usual tools.

    The on screen keyboard is a bit slow to use, but very capable and it looks great.

  9. So, as you may have noticed, I really like #NixOS and it just keeps making me like it more.

    Recently I setup a flake with my entire neovim config, so I can run it from ANY system with nix just by running `nix run github:minego/nixvim`

    Well, I've now done the same for my entire #DWL fork.

    `nix run github:minego/dwl` gets you my heavily patch DWL, and all the bits I use like waybar and the search tool I use, etc.

    THAT IS FUCKING COOL!
