  1. @linuxteck Don't really understand the fuss about #cosmic here.

    Sure, it's cool stuff and rapid development, but there is a TON of #wlroots based compositors that can tile like #niri, #mangowc etc.

    Sure, cosmic has a more complete suite, but it is no way as deep and comprehensive as #gnome or #kde.

    Aside of #popOS users, I'm not sure who it is for.

  5. Me:

    * Spend like half an hour setting up my keyboard shortcuts on #MangoWC and #Noctalia on my Odyssey Linux install on my laptop

    * Realize that I've configured it to work exactly like my #Niri setup on my Desktop

    * Think about how every time I install #Plasma desktop, I immediately tweak the settings so that it works as close to #Gnome default as possible

    * Wonder why I bother trying new things.

    Also Me:

    * Oooo! The dev behind #vanilla_os has made a new DE! I should immediately check it out!

    ...

    I might be a magpiebear instead of an owlbear.

  9. 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.)

  14. 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.

  17. Sweet. #VoidLinux installed to new partition. Dual boot #Arch and #Void is working good. Got WiFi working and void update done. Default font was way too small for my old eyes. Couldn't seem to find any that were larger in the default console fonts folder though. Copied over the HUGE ter-132b from my Arch partition and I can read again.

    Next up getting a little more familiar with void and maybe checking out #MangoWC

  22. Zena Linux, that bootc container image with Mangowc and Niri, is humming along nicely. Finally spending some time to clean up configs for both wm's. And Fastfetch to do also 😜

  27. Anyone for the outdatedness of Slackware?
    My Slackware Tilers setup runs Sway, with the nwg-shell. And Mangowc with Noctalia. And Niri with Dank. Hyprland is available, but not installed. And Slackware Current. All from one iso and repository by @jloc0 . Smart thing: package sets are linked by symbolic links. Type "slackpkg install dank" and you'll see all related packages before they're pulled in. Way less 'dependency hell'. And very much up to date 😄 Thanks Jay!

  37. Seit längerem auf meinem Arbeitsrechner von #mangowc auf #niri umgestellt.
    scratchpad fehlt nun leider, aber dafür kann ich die unterschiedlichen SAP-Systeme (Produktiv, Test) wieder anhand der Fensterrahmenfarbe erkennen. Die Möglichkeit verschiedene Tilings, je nach Tag, einzustellen nutzte ich kaum.
    Und die Übersichten sind bei niri schon Klasse, sowohl die Workspace-Übersicht als auch die Fensterübersicht!
    Hier kann man sehr schön justieren, ob man nur die Fenster des Monitors, des Workspaces oder alle Fenster sehen möchte.

    Despues de tanto tiempo me e decidido a probar mangoWC,un compositor basado en dwl que basicamente es una fusion entre niri y hyprland,la experiencia a sido relativamente buena como suele ser con cualquier compositor o wm que pruebo :p

    I use both on different machines.
    On #mangowc I use #dms because it has a widget to set the layout and you can place widgets on top above all windows.

  48. Updated the codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/freebsd-mangowc repo. Still a lot to do, but at least the most relevant things are there, including the mango configs itself 😆 Also the sw selection has been amended, including yazi and foot now.
