  1. The mouse vs keyboard thing in tiling WM culture is a false dichotomy. And a lazy one at that. I built a minimalist dock for Hyprland to prove it. andreklein.net/i-put-a-dock-on #Hyprland #Linux #Quickshell

  3. 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.)

  5. @tpaau17db @dogriley Ok, I get what you're saying now.

    I mean, it's a tradeoff, obviously. Each version is frozen with a specific set of tools and that's what you pay for playing outside the DE world.

    While accessibility as you seem to understand it is arguably better for #Gnome (and MUCH better for #plasma), if something DOES break, you're lost with a DE and you can usually just edit the hook on #quickshell.

  6. @tpaau17db @dogriley #Quickshell is *NOT* a DE, it is a shell toolkit.

    I don't recommend it because I think everybody should use it (in fact they probably shouldn't).

    I was addressing the assertion that Cinnamon is "peak desktop" (which, compared to Ubuntu, is correct) and wanted to point out how there are other options that can do way, way, waaaay cooler stuff (and on a lower budget) - if that's what you want.

  7. It is certainly a very interesting observation that many of the "good" shells based on #quickshell and #ags seem to be moving to native rewrites these days. It's almost like there inevitably comes a point where wlr-layer frameworks become too limited.

  8. #dankmaterialshell die meisten Maschinen auf noctalia umgestellt.
    Allerdings vermisse ich zwei Dinge:
    - Desktop Widgets immer im Vordergrund - praktisch wenn man seine Tageszeitung im Vollbild-Modus liest und trotzdem noch die Uhrzeit einblenden kann
    - Wetteranzeige ist bei dms viel detaillierter (stündlich). Bei noctalia hat man nur die tägliche Angabe.

  9. @darkpixel #Quickshell is not a shell. It's the toolkit to build the shell with. (Actually, both #DMS and #Noctalia are built from it.)

    But nitpicking aside, Quickshell is my late love on Linux. It is all I'd hope GUI building would be twenty years ago when I'd despair writing GTK 2.

    #quickshell is the one experimental thing I play with a lot these days. I think it is the abstraction layer that was missing for a lot of desktop projects.

    And you can do so, so, so cool things with it.

  13. in the raising of QuickShells in #Linux, and if you're a user of them, which of the following would you choose and why? :linux: 🧑‍💻

    #hyprland #niri #tillingWMs #windowmanager #tillingdesktop #quickshell

  14. and i like the deamon like way it runs more than bitwardens way of a session per extension/app way and keepassxc can work as linux keychain which i need a implemantation since i switched from #kdeplasma to #quickshell + #hyprland

  15. I still can't believe this stupid #Linux #Quickshell #Ricing thing made me actually make a #Firefox theme*.

    How do you stop?

    * To use with #Librewolf, mind you.

  17. I honestly hated the "splash" quotes from the #Hyprland background image - they are immature at best.

    But when I had the idea of replacing them by my own set of quotes, it really grew on me instantly.

    So in the end, it's all about context and customization, really.

  18. Escrevi meu primeiro plugin para o niri + DankMaterialShell — e documentei o caminho até funcionar 🐧

    A ideia era simples: exibir a versão do kernel e o uptime do sistema direto na barra, sem abrir terminal. Resultado: `6.19.6-arch1-1 ⏱ 7h 54m`.

    O que parecia meia hora virou um aprendizado sobre:
    → QML e a API de plugins do Quickshell
    → Qual sinal usar (`onStreamFinished`, não `onStreamEnded`)
    → Cache agressivo do DMS que ignora alterações em arquivo
    → `/proc/uptime` + awk como alternativa mais confiável ao `uptime -p`

    O atalho mais útil do processo: usar o próprio código-fonte do DMS como documentação. `grep -r` em `/usr/share/quickshell/dms/` resolve mais rápido do que qualquer busca externa.

  20. If anybody was wondering: qs is an alias for #quickshell - as I'm currently playing around with runtime-compiled singletons, changing config reload doesn't work so I need to restart manually. I'm honestly surprised it is not even more calls.

  23. Instead of trying to fix (honestly impressive) fuckup, I decided to just reinstall #Arch and #DankLinux. It was a lot easier than the other options, and I wanted to do some different stuff this time anyway.

    For instance, I did a minimal install (no desktop) with just a few tools by default, and then curled the dank installer. Wow does that thing work well, provided you manually install #QuickShell first (at least for me, it kept trying to install both the regular QuickShell and the hit version from the AUR.)

    I also set up my favorite file manager (#Nemo), installed #Waterfox and #Helium, and did some other fun stuff.

    Now I'm gonna see if I can get Dank working on MangoWM et all. Don't get me wrong, #Niri is gorgeous and easy to use. I'm just havin' fun.

  24. The notification system is ~13% of my total shell codebase... And it's not even ready yet (I'm also omitting the integrations of the system in the rest of the codebase).

  25. It is very nice to see how the #DankLinux plugins ecosystem is growing!

    Unbelievable that I started this just because I wanted a multi timezone clock, and now we have 80+ Plugins.

    New Plugins I am using:

    • AI Chat with multi provider support #gemini #claude #ollama
    • Air Quality Monitor
    • Package Updates for DNF and Flatpak #fedora
    • Claude code usage monitor

  26. @peritia Oh yeah I have quite a bit of experience with #Quickshell (my custom shell has ~7k LoC in QML). It's definitely not for people who want to use their computer instead of just customizing it :P

    Here are some examples of what you can do with it:

  27. Hola

    Does anyone have experience in Quickshell
    any thoughts about it ?

  28. @sagevik Also used #sway before. Worked fine for me. Will keep it as backup compositor. Are you using any #quickshell ? I just use waybar.

  29. This #QuickShell desktop is so insane lol as is the process to install it from their scripts/dot files...
