  1. 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.

  5. #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.

  6. after months of wasting my time, i decided to end my picnic with #quickshell and write my own compositor with widgets. force-pushes to root branch, de-prioritized bsd work, double standards—nah, fuck this

  7. @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.

  17. 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.

  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.

  19. 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

  20. 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

  21. 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

  22. 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.

    PS. It's at addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/

  23. 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.

  24. 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.

  27. @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:

  28. Hola

    Does anyone have experience in Quickshell
    any thoughts about it ?

    #quickshell #ricing #qt #wayland #linux

  29. Ich meine, es ist ziemlich beeindruckend, dass ein verhältnismäßig kleines Projekt wie #Noctalia nicht nur in eine Distribution aufgenommen wird, sondern gar ganz #kde #Plasma ersetzt.

    Klar, #kaos ist jetzt nicht Mainstream, aber doch zumindest nicht unbekannt.

    #Quickshell rockt halt 🔥

  30. It's s been roughly 20 years since I've used #archlinux, and when it came time to finally distro hop away from void in my laptop (not my main machine anymore) I decided to give Arch in 2025 a try. I'll admit, I was influenced heavily by #quickshell #caelestiashell.

    github.com/caelestia-dots/shell

    Holy shit is arch easy to install these days with the #archinstall script! Installing Caelestia-shell was also just another instill script. I was up and running within about 10-15 minutes.

    It's pretty neat. Beautiful even. A small learning curve because I'd never used #hyperland before, but not that difficult. However, the arch philosophy or the "arch way" still remains the same. The system still requires the user to babysit config files and to read every change log etc. The likelihood that my system will break one-day with a `sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)` is looming.

    My main system these days is trusty Fedora Workstation on my desktop PC. I actually like gnome. If I'm going to use a fully integrated desktop environment it's going to be gnome. I'm tempted to jump ship now before I get to deep into arch. I don't need bleeding edge stuff anymore. And these days, I actually prefer flatpaks anyway. I must be getting old and boring.
