Nice stff man. Why exactly do u use xmonad? Have you ever tried Wayland?

twolf@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y

Thanks! I used xmonad because I was learning Haskell and thought it would be a good way to get some actual experience. This is my desktop which I use X due to nvidia issues with wayland but I actually just received a new laptop today and I have tried wayland on that.

Not OP, but I originally xmonad because Haskell. I'm still on it because it is the only WM with a "contexts" feature/extension https://github.com/procrat/xmonad-contexts

sway devs discarded its feature request https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/4044

and I personally am more interest now on compositors/WMs that implement Smithay (Rust) instead of wlroots (in C). Specifically https://github.com/MagmaWM/MagmaWM, which I suppose will be easier to extend.

Smithay looks cool, but no version release in 2 years?

Yeah, that's odd. But guess most projects are using the master branch anyway, e.g. https://github.com/MagmaWM/MagmaWM/blob/0ec02c92d63dd43d45fa3534f565fa587db506af/Cargo.toml#L20-L21

That would probably make more sense tbh, I just got this config the way it is while learning Haskell and haven't felt the need to change it since.
