Submit screenshots of all your *NIX desktops, themes, and nifty configurations, or submit anything else that will make themers happy. Maybe a server running on an Amiga, or a Thinkpad signed by Bjarne Stroustrup? Show the world how pretty your computer can be!
Please lecture me, I'm somewhat new to linux (I use it for some years now, but only Ubuntu, so you know). What's the point of wayland?
I mean, I get that it's an alternative to Xorg, and it merges the server and client, but what does this mean to the end user?
the main thing i've heard about it is that it's more actively developed than Xorg
i dont get screen tearing in games, videos or browsers on wayland and also seem to be getting less issues with compositing, which was a problem on x11 with i915 drivers for me
uhm... you get screen tearing on x11? Don't you just turn on full composition pipeline or freesync in your graphics driver settings or by directly editing xorg.conf?
You don't have to do any of this in Wayland.
there is no reason to use something else as an enduser. Maybe as a backup or testing setup you could install something else, but apart from that...
dead simple. I like it
What menu is that?
fzf, but i had to wrap it to make it act like a menu
im not comfortable with shell yet, but here's what i did
in sway config i have
for_window [title="example_launcher"] floating enable
set $menu foot -T "example_launcher" -w 240x240 -e sh -c 'dmenu_path | example.sh | xargs swaymsg exec --'
and somewhere in my $PATH i have example.sh which looks like this
#!/usr/bin/sh
#
out=$(fzf -e --print-query "$@")
in=$(echo "$out" | head -1)
res=$(echo "$out" | tail -1 )
if test -n "$res"; then
cmd=$res
else
cmd=$in
fi
exec echo "$cmd"
there are a couple small issues with the set up though, and also u do need dmenu installed
Can you put this in a code-block?
i originally did but i couldnt put it on split lines and the markdown docs dont mention that at all
tried it again same deal
