#gtile — Public Fediverse posts

@florent_mignot #gnome avec l'extension #gtile (indispensable pour moi) pour maximiser l'usage de tout l'écran. J'aime bien gnome car je fais quasiment tout au clavier et je n'utilise pas très souvent la souris. Cependant, je passe la majorité de mon temps dans #emacs en mode plein écran (édition de document en #latex, lecture de fichier pdf ou d'images, gestion des fichiers...) Je lorgne sur #hyprland.

#gTile #ETAP

If you're running Gnome and like laying out your windows flexibly according to grids, but on the other hand are not cool enough for using a tiling window manager, gTile might be something for you: https://github.com/gTile/gTile

#ubuntu #gnome #gTile

I've just realized a lovely thing about #Fedora 41 - since they've replaced original gnome-terminal app for #ptyxis as default, I'm no longer annoyed by the terminal app not respecting proper #gtile setup 🤩 The app window just stays the same size and place no matter what I do - old gnome terminal just didn't stick, I've opened a new tab and suddenly the whole window grew a few pixels up etc.

Yes, I am neurodivergent, thank you for noticing.

If you run a #Gnome-based desktop on your #Linux computer and you're not using #gTile, why?

(Really great for easy resizing of windows w/o having to use the mouse)

And update to this: I'm now using #GNOME on #Wayland and the #gTile extension to move windows into their places after they've been flown around after a monitor disconnection. It's not ideal but I can work with this for now. I tried #AwesomeWM but for some reason it detected my monitor as being larger than it is and I don't know enough xrandr to fix it. I also looked at #SwayWM but it doesn't want to run because I have the proprietary Nvidia drivers installed (even though I'm not using that GPU) -- but the laptop refuses to boot if I use just Nouveau. Maybe I'll give it another look later, if I can know how to make #GDM add the "run even if Nvidia" flag to Sway.

I switched to Wayland so that #Alacritty scaling works correctly, and it seems everything else I use works on Wayland already, like screen sharing.

Upgraded my T430 from #Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10 and really like it so far. The new #Gnome version looks great and a lot of extensions are working really nicely in it. I recommend #gTile and system-monitor-next.
