General swaywm shit but if you want to read my complaints here it is:
I'm addicted to the smoothness of Wayland but KDE is not even in an alpha state and GNOME is not even an option, it's just a disgusting desktop experience FOR MY TASTES so don't get triggered.
Can you torture sway until it works like a stacking window manager, with alt+tab? I only want to force tiling for 2 or 3 apps in their own separate workspaces.
I have this atm:
for_window [title="[.]*"] floating enable
bindsym --border button3 kill
Also, how are you dealing with things like mounting usb flash drives? I used a tiling wm like 10 years ago but I can't go back to that autism.
Are you using swaywm?

I couldn't get it to run. Fucking config files, I hate them.
Tyler Davis
what are you talking about, what was the error
config files are awesome and one of the reasons i3 sway and co are so nice
Angel Cruz
I don't remember. I just want a smoother Gnome with smaller title bars.
Colton Hernandez
Put every window on the scratchpad maybe?
Then configure a alt-tab to cycle scratchpad (hide + show)
Probably youll also want a button to move a window to current workspace (which means full screen in your case) and move (back) to scratchpad
As for mounting, use your file explorer of choice and udisks and mate drive indicator or mount applet.
Daniel Young
iirc hes going to have problems raising windows and dealing with 'child windows'
Zachary Perry
>using a tiling compositor for stacking windows
You can try way-cooler, which is wayland version of awesomewm. Otherwise just move windows to the scratchpad as mentioned in
Colton Sanchez
>way-cooler
It's not even pre-alpha and they don't recommend using it even for testing. I would say wait at least a couple of years unless the pace changes.
Cameron Gonzalez
same
and how is gnome with wayland now, still lagging like shit on high end pcs, no filepicker thumbnails and the mpv bug not fixed yet?
im getting tired of this meme life
Dominic Brooks
weird they moved to wlroots for a year and couldn't manage into alpha version, (when sway wm is almost stable at this point)
Nolan Gutierrez
>wayland
>not even basic features like color profiles
wake me up when it's actually a competitor to x11

rip loliwm
William Jenkins
tiling is for autists
Nathaniel Anderson
Why couldn't they use a based wm like DWM as an inspiration instead of i3, the most regarded and stupid wm that is only used by redditfags?
Camden Powell
because life is suffering
Caleb Wood
dwm is for mega autists. suckless is full of schizos disliking any sort of complex software
Leo Reyes
You are a megaretard who doesn't understand the difference between a dynamic wm (like xmonad or DWM) Vs a piece of shit like i3
Easton Flores
no you're the retard here who doesn't know what a dynamic wm is

I'm not white enough to use sway/wayland.
Make it easier for us mutts damnit.
Justin Price
>mounting usb flash drives
I use thunar with thunar-volman to automount disks and also for ftp
Xavier Mitchell
can dolphin do that too, the automount? or is it another part of plasma that does that
not op btw
Aiden Nelson
its been a while since I used KDE so I dont know, but the volman package does it for thunar, no other requirements
Austin Smith
come home white man
sudo mount /dev/sdx /mnt/usb/
Lucas Murphy
Clearly you don't
Ryder Thompson
doing that manually just makes you look like a cmatrix try hard
Blake Anderson
Connor Gonzalez
I'm on Arch and Sway is my fallback when KDE breaks itself with an update like it did recently. I can always count on Sway to just work but I do eventually miss all the convenience of an actual DE.
Aiden Watson
I tried it, struggled with getting a bar then switched back to X and i3.
Luke Hernandez
huh? it comes with swaybar
there's also waybar which has way more features
github.com
Thomas Campbell
the fonts looked realy sharp and nice on wayland. how can i get such sharpness on xorg?
Anthony Parker
please tell me what dynamic wm features that i3 lacks then
Blake Torres
Bars are bloat anyway.
Jaxson Cooper

Connor Bell
It doesn't dynamically change the layout depending on how many windows are open. It's either tiling vertically or horizontally like a nigger. It sounds like you never used DWM or any other dynamic tiling wm.
Christopher Roberts
Nigga, are you blind?

Robert Martin
ok i didnt know you could have changed it yourself to something ty
Gabriel Harris
I'm really liking sway, but I'm going back to xorg and i3 because I experienced a lot of glitches when I tried running some games in wine.
Nolan Stewart
except I'm sure you could implement that through the ipc

post more shit stuff about wayland
Liam Cox
Read your first line as "no proper screen tearing" and chuckled.
Tyler Campbell
Drew himself said it's not possible and advised to use waymonad which is still ore alpha
Anthony Wilson
imagine opening enough windows in 1 workspace to notice it's doing fibonacci layout
Carson Brooks
sway has rdp support now, it's just not that good and could use improvements
Gabriel Morgan
Why should I use Wayland over X11 anyway?
Christian Rogers
keep using x11 and stay away from wayland threads, if you don't like it. nobody invited you to the sekrit club
Michael Roberts
Use /media/usb for removable devices.
/mnt/usb is for perm drives.

no, I hate i3. way cooler seems promising but there's no way I'm going to use that as my main wm at the moment. enlightenment is a pretty good wm but it looks ugly and there are no good themes avalible and I won't spend the time to make my own theme from scratch. I wish there was a wayland version of fluxbox but that will never happen which fucking sucks

is there really though?
anyhow I don't even use it lol
it was supposed to be used for hibernation but shit won't work on this laptop
