Shout out to Drew aka @justaguylinux who just introduced his Butterknife project and iso. Used his xfce spin briefly before, but was anxiously waiting for the window manager version. Great stuff, Drew, just watched the YT vid about it. I'll certainly have a go at that Qtile one. And dwm of course ☺️ Thanks 👍🏻

/tmp кончился — пишем виджет для qtile с предсказанием по тренду
qtile — тайловый оконный менеджер для Linux, целиком написанный на Python. Конфиг — тоже Python, с asyncio, доступом к procfs и вообще ко всему, что есть в системе. Я сижу на qtile уже почти 15 лет с одним и тем же конфигом, который потихоньку допиливаю, и что мне в нём нравится: панель оконного менеджера — удобное место для визуализации метрик, собранных из произвольных Python-скриптов.

The install of arch went well, but my config changes to qtile are not working now. I have to go over the update changes for arch as well. Back to trying to find more in depth documentation on qtile config changes.
-
Preparing to continue to reinstall arch linux with Qtile again. Learning how to use my computer strictly by terminal has been fun. The downside is learning what not to do when using new commands or deleting packages I didnt think I needed. Reinstall number 6 coming up.

#freesoftwareadvent day 6
Okay, I'll have to mention #hyprland in this list, since I finally adopted it this year. Previously I ran #qtile. Functionally they're similar in that they are both tiling window managers.
Qtile has a python config file, allowing to define complex combos.
Hyprland has a more limited config syntax, but a powerful hyprctl cli tool, allowing for similarly complex combos to happen via shell commands.
And hyprland is pretty with nice animations.

Finally got most of a workflow down for customizing my #Qtile instance on #CachyOS
I use hellwal to generate a python colors config which gets passed to a customization folder Qtile imports from. This flips the wallpaper, colors, and window highlighting. It also adjust my terminal colors.
I just need to finish it out to make a better rofi config and I think i'll be set for awhile. -
The world works in mysterious ways. One time I'm in a really deep rut, then without me realizing it, I'm suddenly out of it, only to fall into another one. It's a really up-and-down cycle, and I don't know if I'd be happy about it.
So I had been DM-hopping for weeks just because I was looking for a tiling window manager that doesn't require an arm and a leg to set up -- #hyprland, #niri, #qtile, #sway -- I tried #cosmic desktop and kept it on tiling mode too. Each one took too long to set up!

OK, da denkt man sich: Alle populären #tiling Windowmanager für #Wayland haben das eine oder das andere Problem. Viele sind unmaintained, Sway hat dieses manuelle tiling von i3, Hyprland hat einen Hauptentwickler... Ich will doch nur ein #xmonad für Wayland...
Also selbst schreiben? Gibt es Pythonbindings für wlroots? Au ja, pywlroots. Wo werden die genutzt? qtile! Ein aktiv entwickelter #Python basierter an xmonad angelehnter tiling Windowmanager für Wayland 🤔
Ich bin dann mal #qtile testen 😅

Basically, I've used my custom bezier curves for hyprland because why not.
One thing I didn't manage : bind a command for cliphist and grim/slurp. The workaround is easy but it's just something possible with different WMs.
One thing i wish for : the setting new_is_master could be divide for each layout (tile, spiral, dwindle). A little bit like #qtile

Thinking of redoing my setup on my PC. Now the question is do I #distrohop and try out a new distro all together or do I start with #ricing #qtile because that’s something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile.

Okay, I admit, I gave up on #QTile and went back to #Fluxbox.
I promise, it is me, not qtile. My work flow just doesn't benefit from tiling, and I spent too much time trying to get it to act like Fluxbox. It isn't Fluxbox.
On the plus side, I learned a bit more python playing around with QTile and now know about rofi - a nice replacement for dmenu_run (which I had been using since forever, I think).

Still loving the 3440x1440 monitor, though. On #Gentoo #Linux, ofc.

got the 3440x1440 monitor set up yesterday. unwisely switched to it at the same time I switched from #Fluxbox to #QTile. Feeling the change stress.
But, got #Conky working; am getting used to the different layouts, and am enjoying the extra real estate. Need to tweak the fonts and some settings a bit, but feeling more okay with it than I was last night.
That said, anyone know how to set the N E S W margins individually? Tried a few ways; all errored out. Top conky = need bigger margin there.

Until #Gentoo portage catches up with the packages needed for #StumpWM to run without crashing, I think I'll give #QTile a go. Can't do the keyboard shortcut things I want, but neither can most other WM or DEs.
Should be very helpful with the new 3440x1440 monitor arriving tomorrow. Large fonts AND two windows next to each other. Sounds great; I can't wait to experience it. (Upgrading from 1920x1080.)

Do you have any experience with or opinion about the #Hyperland compositor? I would like to hear about it, as it sounds awesome on paper and looks great on screenshots. I'm planning to change to a tiling window manager and wonder how it compares to other alternatives. I have tried #Qtile before and liked it. I was also interested in #xmonad, because it can be configured with #Haskell, but I'll rather focus on #Wayland options and I think there are no ports in the horizon.

I don't know if it's because of all the months I've spent using and configuring #AwesomeWM or because #python is so much more powerful and easy to read and write than #lua (at least to me), but in the last couple of days I've been giving a shot at #qtile and it's just great.
It took me just a few hours to replicate my Awesome set up, and although people really like to say "python == slow", it feels smoother and snappier than any other TWM I've used so far.
Kudos to Qtile!

I’ve played with my #QTile config and I’m having some fun. I am going to change the bar up a little bit and change the border colours.
I’m also using this change of WM to give dmenu a try as opposed to Rofi (which has slowed down on my laptop of late) which is a lot speedier, now I need to customise the config of that.

I'm going to be trying QTile today. I'm curious what cool features does it have (that aren't publicly known?
Also is QTile going Wayland? I'm asking so I know what to expect in the future.

Как я настраивал меню выхода в Qtile
Некоторое время назад я, в силу ряда причин, решил перейти со стандартного DE на один из оконных менеджеров (для тех, кому интересно, archwiki ), изначальным дистрибутивом был выбран ArcoLinux, так как он обладал расширенным репозиторием Arch, который включал в себя собственные пакеты команды ArcoLinux (в т.ч. меню archlinux-logout для выхода в спящий режим, выхода из системы и т.д.), а также предоставлял большие возможности по выбору пакетов, изначально установленных в системе, и настроенных оконных менеджеров (т.к. настраивать их с нуля, зачастую, очень долго и муторно, на мой взгляд).

Last year, we managed to get Qtile into the official Fedora repositories. Today we did the same for qtile-extras. It will take a week or so until it gets into stable but after that, you can simply run:
dnf install qtile-extras

@JustineSmithies thank you, happy to hear that. Already built for Fedora 40+

Turns out the way the monitor is plugged in to the GPU makes it "announce" itself up every 10 seconds. In other window managers like #Openbox, I get a pop-up every 10 seconds to select screen configuration (mirroring, extending, etc.). In #Qtile, I get a memory leak every 10 seconds 🤣
Will have to buy a new cable/adapter to see if it fixes the issue 🤔
When software meets hardware, things are getting fun 😂

Nice #Qtile layout:
https://github.com/aravinda0/qtile-bonsai
The readme provides keyboard shortcuts configuration, as well as a visual guide to understand how the layout can be used. Great level of documentation quality here that I'd like to see in the built-in layouts too 😄
Maybe splitting the built-in stuff out of core would encourage such modularity, decoupling release cycles at the same time? What do you think #Qtile folks?
-
@rochacbruno I use #Qtile :p it's a twm written in Python. That makes it extremely configurable/extensible.
-
Ok, my short adventure in the realm of window managers has come to an end. I don't have enough time to dedicate to the customisation of every single bit. Back to a mainstream DE, tried #Gnome on my Trixie machine and I was surprised at how good it is! Now I only have to get used to the key bindings (or customise them) and I'm good to go! I'll keep the idea of the amazing #Hyprland and the interesting #qtile for when I'm able to dedicate more time to it

Hey @FrostyX hope all is well! I’m currently testing out #Fedora40 (which is pretty good in my opinion) but now I’ve finally got #qtile in the repos thanks to you! I was curious about the Qtile-extras package though. Will that end up going into the repos too or do we still just have to use the copr repo for the extras package? I just noticed that qtile-extras doesn’t get pulled in whenever you install qtile. Again, no biggie. There’s a copr repo for it but I was just wondering if it was planned in the future!

For #qtile users on #opensuse, sorry for the delayed update!
