So this is a kink thing, right?

@tru Wow, that's what I call intense! 😅

I considered doing something similar since my other laptop is beautifully configured with #NixOS , but then I decided just to integrate Nix Darwin with my #MacBookPro and spice it up with tiled windows and custom taskbar...it's now pure awesomeness 👌🤘😎 :nixos: :apple: #yabai #sketchybar

So I completely nuked my #Nix install on my #MacBook. I uninstalled #NixDarwin, uninstalled Nix, upgraded the OS, reinstalled Nix, and then ran `nix-darwin switch` on my existing config. The longest part was waiting for #macOS to update! Everything is exactly as I had it, apps, tools, config, and all! Even my tiling window manager (named #Yabai) is working great after switching to the latest version!

@feijoa i previously used rectangle, but then found #yabai and it is sooo much better! i recommend to try it if you haven’t heard of it!

Oh no #MacOS 14.1 doesn’t support #yabai yet 🫠

@al3x i am sorry I was not clear. I actually do not use Amethyst. I have built my own tiling window manager on top of #Hammerspoon.

I indeed use Two Pane and Tall. I do not like BSP. That is also the reason #yabai did not click for me.

Finally, #yabai was updated for #Macos #Sonoma but I will wait a bit more until I upgrade. Just to be sure.

#sonoma: Now the wate for an #yabai update begins. Hopefully it will not take that long.

Okay. #yabai. MAYBE we’re onto something here.

Edit: Aaaaand I run it and nothing happens except a terminal window opening. Does this need a blasted SCRIPT to operate? Come on.

This weekend, I will try tiling window managers like #yabai and #Amethyst together with #SketchyBar as a #macOS menu alternative.

I'm already working in some form of tiling window world with #Divvy, let go the next step.

The only thing that is stopping me is that there is no default concept for a single centered window, which is my default state.

I'm sure there are ways to configure or script a solution for that too. Let's see, what the result is after this weekend.

Ohhh man! After getting my #nixos #hyprland setup tweaked to my liking, I hopped back over to my MacBook for some project work.

Couldn't well leave it alone before falling down the #yabai rabbit-hole and completely overhauling my #macos experience...for the better of course!!! :apple_inc: 🤘 #dev #programming

I used to use a tiling window manager on Debian (awesomewm). Started dabbling with material shell for gnome again and absolutely missed it on my work machine! Got yabai / skhd running on macOS today and it feels SO much better. Though I need to sync the keyboard controls... and get used to them again. #macos #yabai #awesomewm #gnome #linux #debian

@meowgorithm @caarlos0 I’m using #yabai + #skhd with just a basic config for both. It’s been running for a couple months and I’ve had no major complaints. It’s the closest I’ve come to finding a flow that’s relatively similar across my #mac and #linux installs.

@zurg That's pretty cool!

Though, last time I was on mac I used #Yabai [1] tilling window manager which is awesome though unfortunately macos desktop environment is really broken for keyboard navigation as some animations are impossible to disable making the whole process borderline nausiating :|
