As a long-time Sway window-manager user on #Linux, I gave #Cosmic a try today on a new laptop.

I was surprised that it it seems to support all the tiling keyboard shortcuts I wanted use and nearly all my other other configuration.

One feature missing for me was remapping some mouse keys via libinput.

I'll stick with Sway for now because I have it dialed in with no major complaints, but will keep an eye on Cosmic's future releases. Impressed.

@schenklklopfer Mit #Archlinux und #sway wäre dies nicht passiert #iusearchbtw

Hey #thinkpad user I want to get a good thinkpad to #softwareDevelop stuff, you know run develop env, #nodejs ,#nextjs ,#rubyOnRails, #php, #laravel . About What system run it's an #archLinux with #sway So I'd like some recomendation about What thinkpad do you recommend

For those #Linux users who use the #Sway window manager, have you tried Jay?

Jay just released 1.10.0.

Same vibes as Sway, but in Rust but without an attempt to maintain compatibility. For example, the config file is in TOML.

OK, speaking of #Valheim
I've been playing on #Linux, using #Steam, in #Sway (#Wayland, obv.) and while I have an #NVidia GPU, it doesn't seem to be getting used? Yes, it's an older GPU, but even at around 10FPS on the lowest quality video settings, I'm consistently only getting about 12 FPS, which... it's less fun. It's still playable for somebody like me who is an old and doesn't really do a lot of high-FPS gaming or whatever (as you can tell) but I'm genuinely wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Anybody have any tips? The usual googling turns up lots of "won't launch" but that isn't the problem I'm having.

SwayFX + Dracula is goated.

What do you think is still missing in #Wayland?

I feel that the last rough edges have been ironed out in the last year. This includes #HDR, #TripleBuffering, #ColorManagement, #SessionRestore implementations, improved #Accessibility, etc.

What important pieces do you think are still missing in Wayland?

#XWayland #Mutter #KWin #Gnome #KDE #X11 #XOrg #Cosmic #Enlightenment #GTK4 #GTK #QT6 #Weston #Cinnamon #Xfce hyprland #niri #sway

The more I play around with #emacs, the further down the rabbit hole I go. Just found Newsticker, and lo, it's awesome. I'm currently down to two open apps - Emacs and Qutebrowser (runnig on #sway) It's slightly surreal that things can be distilled down to such a simple setup, and yet feel so productive.

Something I miss from #Tiling wms/compositors like #i3wm and #sway when I'm on #KDE:

I use #Yakuake on KDE #Plasma to have a terminal that's easily accessible, but stays out of my way when I don't want to see it.

On tiling setups, I use disappearing windows (I forget the actual name of the feature) that will pop up when I hit super+-, appear one at a time, and then disappear.

Yakuake lets you do tiling as well within its window, but I kinda miss the ability to cycle through a bunch of windows very easily. I mean, I've got the keyboard shortcuts set up very nicely, so it's just F12 to make the window appear and disappear, and then control+tab to cycle through tabs or control+pgup/pgdown to jump between panes, but somehow the tiling setup is just a bit easier to do. Less thinking, just super+-. ;)

I don't know if I'll continue to use tiling setup too much longer, though. It's too aggravating to figure out how to get the occasional gnome program to work properly. There's always some kind of fancy library initialization that I fail to get right. It's easier to just use a DE and whittle it down to nearly tiling levels of productivity.

How do you launch #flatpak apps on #AlpineLinux with #Sway? :)

Linux desktop environments suck. Reject modernity. Embrace tradition. Give me scrollbars.

So #Microsoft introduced a new tool called #Sway at some point. And their #SecurityScore recommendation is to prevent accidental #privacy leaks by blocking sharing output to external parties from that tool. Great!

So I assume sharing is blocked by default? Right? Right?!
It's not.

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!

I use sway on intel graphics for a while now, and it seems the mouse pointer keeps disappearing for whatever reason, and it feels like it does so more often now.

I think Qt (keepassxc) seems to make it vanish for a while, especially when switching monitors and landing on keepassxc. But now firefox vanishes the pointer also, but I feel like some symbols are missing, especially the drag-symbol? I don't know anymore.

Does anyone have similar problems?
