  1. Niri bringt frischen Wind auf den #Linux-Desktop: Der Tiling-Wayland-Compositor reiht Fenster wie Perlen auf eine Schnur und lässt schnell horizontal hindurchscrollen. Flinke Tastensteuerung, wenig Ballast und eine optionale Desktop-Shell machen aus Niri eine elegante Desktop-Alternative. Läuft bei mir jetzt seit einigen Wochen und gefällt mir sehr.

  11. Further struggles to find a #wayland #tilingWindowManager

    Hyprland is out cause of the community they run
    Niri doesn't do well with full screen 3d applications I need to use

    And now sway is just loading to a blank screen with a terminal cursor blinking and taking no input

  13. RoseNotes and RoseProcess!
    Two simple applications written in rust.

    One for note taking, the other for killing processes.

    Perfect for tiling wm, when you set it up with a floating window like I do in i3.

    It was truly pain free to configure this bar, and comes with all nice features like WiFi/bluetooth/backlight/sound control almost out of the box

    It’s only missing a margin configuration option, but I can leave without it for the time being

    This is some hot tiling compositor! Not only you can swipe apps into boxes, but scroll these boxes around like a sprawling buffet by tapping window decorations.

    I have been running Niri as a daily driver (work and private) for more than a year now. If you are into tiling window managers, you might want to give this one a try.

    Also shoutout to DMS which is a awesome companion to that github.com/AvengeMedia/DankMat

  29. Sxmo is a mobile Linux UI for smartphones that uses a tiling window manager. The latest update brings support for two more WMs: i3 and River. Sway and dwm were already supported. There's also a new quick action menu and a bunch of other changes. lists.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-announce

  39. My love letter to #Ion3 / #notionwm

    In the early 2000's I settled on a great window manager called Ion3, written by Tuomo Valkonen. It was tiling, tabbed, and static. And like most good things, it also came from Finland :blob_thinking_smirk:

    Static: you can easily set up rigid set of frames where you can throw your applications. Or even more importantly, make your window manager* do it for you. Being rigid is good, since the application window is always the same size if you want it. Out of the box the other tiling window managers always take all the available space, which isn't always the best possible solution.

    Tabbed: a frame can hold multiple applications at the time, but show only one of them. The rest show as tabs like the tabs in your browser. I remember window swallowing being a big invention a few years ago, while Ion3 had had it for 20+ years.

    Tiling: there is an excellent addition to regular tiling, which greatly enhances usability on say 1920x1080 screens, which is just a bit too narrow to have a browser and an editor side by side. It's called a float split. You can tell the window manager how much you want the frames to overlap. That way you can keep a browser at a comfortable width on one frame, and an editor at a comfortable width on another frame. And because the frames stay static in size, the browser doesn't resize and you'll be kept in the same spot on the page. Very nice feature on a long page.

    Times were good, but sadly around 2009 Tuomo moved on to other things. The project continued as Notion (not to be confused with that other Notion).

    The project is old and a bit creaky in places (the rest of the software world has moved on), and the configuration is somewhat overly complexly done. But if you get past that, it'll reward you with a distraction free and predictable environment. To this day, I haven't found a better one :pixelheart:

    ps. #dwm people. Are there patches that I could use to replicate the ion3 functionality?

    EDIT: I just noticed that my gif animation seems to be converted to .mp4, and it doesn't work as nicely as it should.

  44. I'm starting to really like tiling window managers. I never got into them on Pop!_OS because they felt clunky. I've been a longtime macOS user, but I never used workspaces there since I found them hard to navigate. I've always just used one workspace with all my windows stacked on top of each other. I like them floating. Until now.

    With Hyprland, I've grown fond of a keyboard-only setup with customized tiles that I can move around and tweak as I like. I have one "nerd" workspace with a browser and four terminals, one for music, one for messaging, and so on. It feels great to be learning something new.
