If I find the time & motivation to do so I might do. Atm I'm happy with what I've got (not this setup, this is just a VM I use for "scientific purposes")

install sway too

Good to see some Sway love in here. Been using it for a year or so and it works great

I was using i3wm and have migrated pretty recently. Rewriting the config was much less scarier than I initially hoped.

You're missing some tiling window managers

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y

True, I might expand upon them ;)

Where is hyprland ?

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I'll add it :D

What OS are you on? I hear it's a pain to add to Ubuntu.

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

Using pop on that testing vm but some peops said Nix would be better for that experiment bc I already faced dependency issues whilst trying to add Pantheon

where's the glorious Dwm ?

The only correct option

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Another one for the list ;)

Yeah, I forgot some window managers I admit :')

That's literally me when I first got into Linux

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

I remember making lots and lots of VMs and sitting night over night because VM ≠ real hardware (surprisingly)... Those were wild times

The boot menu was pretty long as well!

Terminal. 🤡

Couldn't I just press Ctrl+Alt+F1

What is cutefish, and how do I use it?

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

It's basically a Plasma fork that mimics macOS. It has been made for CutefishOS but it is also obtainable for Ubuntu/Debian based distros via a script but idk if it is available to other distros aswell and how well Cutefish actually works because the Desktop is one of those that really didn't handle all the other desktops well (or maybe the script didn't execute properly)

rizoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I went to the GitHub for it and I love the look but it appears abandoned as far as I can tell. Very sad. Maybe I'll reach out to the old maintainer and fork it. I spend a lot of time making gnome look like Mac OS so this looks fun.

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Tbf you could change Plasma to work similar to macOS' Desktop in a few clicks and Unity also gets close if I am not mistaken (and has been revived afaik)

Gotta get some ratpoison

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

But will it kill my XFCE (because of the mascot - idk if it's a rat or mouse)?

Looks like my own used to look before. Just pure fun to try all of them because why not. :)

Pantherina@feddit.de · 2 pts · 2y (6 replies)

I would use different users to be sure to not mess up some dotfiles. Also icons and fonts will be very messed up

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

I use(d) a VM for testing purposes and things were working quite well unti I added Plasma. So, if I take this to real hardware I might split up the QT and GTK based DEs in separate distros

1984@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Yeah I agree, that would be the best, but also slightly annoying. No more common shell history or web history and stuff like that.

I haven't had any major breakage using both Gnome and Plasma myself. It works fine. But it's annoying to see Gnome apps in the Plasma menus (when typing program names).

Pantherina@feddit.de · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Gnome and Plasma is the absolute worst example. Normally either GNOME or Plasma take over all icons and everything looks messed up. For me even after installing just Dolphin on GNOME everything was messed up.

1984@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 2y

Yeah I know. I use plasma icon themes, they seem to work much better in both Gnome and Plasma than using Gnome themes.

I mean you could symlink your histfile and such if you really wanted

1984@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 2y

Yeah but it's a lot more things. Every thing I do in one account would have to replicated in another, pretty much. Becomes hard.

Even though using github and online storage makes things a lot easier.

drew_belloc@programming.dev · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

That was me, long ago...

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y

I'm quite happy with my setup (not this one. This is just a VM I set up for "scientific purposes" and to see how some DEs are evolving)

Everything apart Wayland please

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Idk gow you mean your comment but I have nothing against Wayland personally, it's getting better for me and I quite enjoy Waydroid on my little convertible

Pantherina@feddit.de · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Funny, Waydroid was the reason I switched to Wayland.

Even though it seems to be kinda dead now? Android 11 is at least 1½ years old, and there are many more things that should be worked on.

They use rootful LXD containers instead of kata, qemu or podman, so Waydroid is, to my knowledge, basically a security hole in many distros.

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Oof, good that I'm not really doing anything important on said convertible except for watching / listening to stuff on the go
