Anybody have Wayland-compatibile tiling compositor (WM) recommenddations? I'd been using #xmonad for years, but it doesn't work with Wayland. #KDE #Plasma with #bismuth was good for me, but Bismuth doesn't work with latest Plasma. I've really not found anything good with Gnome, and the options like #sway and #hyprland require a bunch of time to configure and don't do things like remembering what to do when I plug in different external monitors like KDE does. I appreciate KDE's automation.

I like #sway as a #wm and tried fractional scaling, Works like a charm. BUT then I can't move the mouse across multiple monitors anymore... which is kind of a show-stopper. Any pointers?

I’ve been working on a #freebsd from scratch blog post series and was going to skip right over Xorg (preferring #wayland and #sway)…and then I heard about #NSCDE - a reimplementation of #Solaris #CDE look-and-feel via #fvwm

Thanks to work by Christian Moerz, it was a snap. Literally `pkg install Xorg nscde` a change to my .xinitrc and I was up in a pastel bliss again. Run #interlisp on it is a beautiful joy.

I was so impressed AND I got to avoid s security holes and bit rot— so I sent some librepay love. It’s a great project!

Rebased one of my older desktops to use the #Sway DE (more keyboard based control rather than mouse with tiling windows). I've adapted faster than I would've imagined.

I just tried #sway 1.10.1 on #Linux but still have the same bugs I had with 1.10: All my desktop backgrounds now black, whether I use a solid background or an image as a background.

I'm going to return to using #swayfx and hope that after SwayFX updates to be based on 1.10.1 that this bug doesn't come with it.

There are a still a number of open 1.10 regressions in the Sway bug tracker, so I'm not trying to isolate and report this as a new issue now.

So I've been experiencing occasional #crashing on #AlpineLinux with an #AMD 6800H #APU #Hardware using #amdgpu. I've been trying to determine what the cause may be. The system will regularly freeze at the disk decryption prompt when booting, sometimes before that, or after when in #Wayland #Sway. I just tried upgrading to #libdrm 2.4.124 on alpine edge. Would appreciate any ideas that may be causing this behavior. Should I see if it's possible to get a newer kernel?

I'd like to dip my toes into not using #Sway for a few days, but I'd still like to use a tiling window manager if possible.

There seem to be plenty of #Gnome extensions that provide tiling support. Any recommendations? Bonus points if it's available in Debian Stable (Bookworm).

There will be no new #nwg-iso tomorrow. Damn flu.

the default layout (with only minor tweaks) of the #zsaVoyager #zsa is looking good. I am slowly getting used to it. #mechanicalKeyboard
typical day with #sway #linux #rider #neovim #markdown #citrix #dotnet

After some fiddling in #sway I was able to simultaneously play a game with one set of mouse+keyboard, while being able to use my pc with another set of mouse+keyboard.

That's very interesting (personally mind blowing), potentially can have some very useful solutions

EDIT: Okay there is a problem, when you open a new window it steals the focus anyway. I'll try to find a workaround

Curious how #Wizards manage their #Bluetooth on #Wayland (#Sway). It appears that #Blueman may need some #Wizardry that I haven't figured out yet.

Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll take a look at Gubar, a program that powers the status bar in Sway using the power of Guile Scheme!

This is a community project so we'll take some time trying it out, looking at the code, and discussing the plans for future development.

Can we #SpeedRun Install #AlpineLinux faster than we can get #LayedOff and #replaced with an #H1B? A new #video on Alpine #Linux, #Sway, and #Firefox Install and #FirstTime Configuration #Walkabout with #Secure #Encrypted #DNS https://youtu.be/_tS7CqhlRrA. Will #Facebook be as good as #Twitter with Mr Z's new #Misinformation program? Will #Firefox add in-browser #advertising, or will #Microsoft #Bing subsidize #Mozilla? Can we improve #OpenSource Alpine Linux? Only a #Wizard can tell.
