  1. nwg-drawer 0.7.5

    github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-drawe

    BTW: we have a new team member, who is working on porting nwg-shell components written in Go to Rust, and the results are encouraging. Jason Herald, welcome onboard!

  2. Back to using Sway on NixOS with Home Manager. It was the same combo that sort of burned me out on nixos last year, but I've got a bit more confidence now in the whole stack to make it work. I love the i3/sway way of doing things, and I can't really get the same experience anywhere else, so it's back WMs for a while.

    This time, I'll experiment with writing my dotfiles in their native format before delegating home manager to hold onto their state, I'll ask home manager to do less overall so it doesn't do dumb things like step on my gtk config on every rebuild, and I'll slowly build the system up over a longer period of time instead of like in a weekend.

    Slower, simpler, and hopefully less nixos-rebuild switch calls.

    I'm also using nwg shell for the common UI components and settings managers, which is fantastic by the way. It solves needing to learn an entire esoteric config language for every program in your system, and the final look and feel is very cohesive. Nwg-panel has me sold on just that alone.

  3. 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!
