I remember being endlessly entertained by the rotating cube animation between workspaces in the old Beryl implementation.
I told my wife, “but does your Windows do this?” Followed by rotating the cube. She was like, “I don’t care.” And that was that.
I shall tell this story to my grandkids.
check wayfire :)
Oh yeah! That’s ticking a few boxes for when I eventually switch from X(11).
“but does your Windows do this?” Followed by rotating the cube. She was like, “I don’t care.”
Wow, that sums up my Linux life pretty well actually

There was a jailbreak tweak for iOS that mimicked Beryl, it was so cool.
I wonder if thats based on a real story…
And that’s how you create an Arch Unstable user
Damn, English is weird 🤣
It sure is :D
Choo choo debian+flatpak. Rock solid OS with the latest software. :)
Wheeeew nixos + ???. More or less unbreakable is with both latest and stable packages that you can easily mix and match (:
This is the way.
Choo choo mtherfcker
Absolutely obliterated.
Choo choo UBUNTU
Choo choo proprietary stuff and holding security unless you subscribe to services. :P

My daily driver is Sway on Arch. I’ll help shout out the glory of this setup.
This seems like a good place to plug !linuxmemes@lemmy.world
Using a tiling wm and wanting to move windows around? 🤨
moving floating windows is caveman stuff really
It’s dynamic :)
I just got into wayfire after using Hyprland and nobody prepared me for the cylinder. I will open windows and wait for the screensaver just to see the rotating cylinder. So much better than the cube
On Hyprland for a few days now and feeling the same way.
damn, Hyprland looks great 😅
Hyprland is fantastic unless you have Nvidia
I have Nvidia in both my machines
Works fine on my laptop (1650 hybrid) and desktop (3070 no iGPU)
Under NixOS on both machines, no xwayland.
programs.hyprland = { enable = true; enableNvidiaPatches = true; };Is the basics to get it up and running under NixOS + HomeManager
I’ve done that already though haven’t disabled xwayland didn’t realise that would work without being compatibility
Just don’t run X applications 😅
I’ve seen no issues on my setup, might just be luck of the draw? What hyprland build are you running? What issues are you seeing?
Whichever one is current in nixpkgs stable
On my laptop when it goes to sleep and wakes up everything looks corrupted and it crashes back to the gdm login screen after a second or two
You running anything from nix-hardware on your system? I know my laptop has a flake there that installs a few applications & fixes small things like hardware buttons for the ga401: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/master/asus/zephyrus/ga401/default.nix
I’m running unstable on both machines, with nix-hardware for my laptop only.
Amen. I’d install Hyperland on both of my “main” PC and on my Rpi 4 but my rpi 4 (still) has sway and it “just werks” so eeeeeh
Just switched last night!!!
So far it’s been great, but I need a way to migrate over my keybindings from xmodmap. I tried searching but everywhere I go gives a different answer. Can anyone help guide me in a direction? I’m primarily looking to remap caps to escape/control on hold. Would be great to remap some unused keys on my laptops keyboard to media keys as well. Thanks!!
man 5 swaylook forbindsymKnew I should have read the docs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In my (not very thorough) read, I saw something about the bindings being per application. Maybe I should stop reading documentation before falling asleep
Sway has become a joy to use over time as I’ve fucked with my config but now I feel like it’s more boring too I barely ever feel the need or want to massively change anything 🥲
Same, I got “bored” so I tried hyprland for a bit on another machine, but when I realised I’d rather have the animations turned off, and was trying to make the config the same as my Sway one, I realised all I needed was Sway. Swaylove4eva
you can always use a login manager to manage different WM sessions. When i get bored of sway i switch to hyprland, i use different bars for each one too. Its bloat but its fun.
Fedora Sericea is my current daily driver. Loving it so far. I’ve used Sway, River, and Hyprland on Arch, Fedora, and NixOS. The combination of an immutable system augmented by flatpaks and distrobox are supporting my goal to never wipe the drive again.
Sway is more stable and lightweight for me than Hyprland. I don’t use Nvidia hardware at all. The lead Dev on Hyprland is a treasure though. 10/10 for that human being.
I’m with you. One day I was like “I wonder if Wayland’s mature enough to use as my daily driver now” and installed Sway on a Raspberry Pi. I used DWM before, but now Sway’s my default.
The only issue I still have is that I wish Zoom and ffmpeg supported the wlroots-specific screen capture methods. Those are the only things lacking that are keeping me on i3/X11 on the machine I use for work.
Do managers like this lend themselves to better performance? Or is it just more for looks/easy tiling?
Both i3 and sway are very lightweight so you do get good performance, but it’s the easy tiling / no-nonsense looks that appeal to me.
