From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any recommendations for a Hyprland refugee? Thinking of trying out niri...

After this news I switched to using KDE with Karousel, an animation plugin, and a rounded corners plugin (kwin scripts).

I also use a command runner plasmoid to somewhat replicate waybar from shell scripts.

river is great. It's far more stable than any other wayland compositor I've used.

That looks awesome! Having used fvwm, I'm a fan of the scrollable desktop

I've been using swayfx, a fork of Sway with a little more eye candy.

I can only recommend niri!

I'm a fan of qtile. Used it when it was x11 only and use it on Wayland now.

I like niri, but I'll be damned if I can get any kind of stability out of it. I'll have myself a flawless time at home testing, but as soon as my laptop enters University Grounds it stops launching apps, or crashes, or whatever else.

Right now I'm using Gnome/PaperWM since Infinite horizontal has changed my workflow so dramatically, and Gnome is more stable for me.

None of the suggestions are even close to how good hyprland is. Like not even a little close.

Hyprland has special workspaces, plugins which became part of my worksapace. I don't think river can replace it. i3 has features like these but i couldn't find anything similar in river.
