Still using dwm after making the switch from i3 months ago. I love dwm. I can leave my computer unattended and no one can launch any program or open files unless one knows linux, dwm and my custom key bindings. 😅
Maybe, when I get a amd gpu. For now, I am very satisfied with my dwm setup. Dwm has been around for longer and just works, while hyprland had a lot of issuses. I had to do a bunch of stuff to stop flickering, get obs to work, get discord screenshare to work, and also my cursor theme would just stop working when there was update sometimes. On Xorg, I didn't face any of these issues, so I'm going to stick with X for now. Would definitely use hyprland if I switched back to wayland.
When did you use hyprland with an nvidia gpu? I'm on hyprland with nvidia right now and it works totally fine after going through the wiki's fixes and switching from a more obscure distro to one that has more documentation (void to arch). Support for nvidia on wayland has improved so much just these past few months and it's improving constantly.
Also, after u made this comment nvidia announced they are going to opensource their kernel drivers in the future for RTX 20- series and newer gpus. All things considered, the experience is quite good and it seems like it will keep getting better over the next few months and years
I love hyprland but after using it for a month and encountered quite a handful of bugs, I switched back to bspwm. Maybe I'll give it a try again next next year but man, I really missed hyprlock 😅 It's the most customizable lockscreen out there IMO.
at one point you talked about wayland being buggy on hyprland, and i saw that you had an nvidia card and i wanted to ask, what time did you try it? most of the things you mentioned have gotten fixed (not saying its perfect, still alot of issues like explicit sync, electron apps, ect) edit: running hyprland at commit 62eadad on a 3060 ti rn sidenote: how do things like bspwm or riverwm compare to dwm?
Hmmm. I might give a hyprland another try if its gotten better but I’m pretty happy with my dwm setup for now. I haven’t tried bspwm or river so I can’t compare but river looks like a pretty interesting. But if I switched back to wayland I would probably just use hyprland
I am having issues with recording my screen using OBS it drop frames alot doesn't matter if it's Wayland or X11 it's just something I unable to figure our my specs : i5 11400H 16 gb ddr4 3200mhz rtx 3050 laptop tried on both iGpu and and my RTX one as well it drops anyway, but the thing is it's only drops when I capture WHOLE screen, not when I try to capture particular window .
Have you tried using Xorg? I've tried Xorg and X11 and never had that issue. Like he said, try switching the bitrate lower or maybe try using a different window manager
yes. I heard theres a wayland port of dwm called dwl, but I’m gonna stay away from wayland for now because it’s a little too buggy for me and not all patches for dwm have been ported to dwl
@@maxhudotdev I've been on Hyprland since more than an year now. It has everything I need. I can turn off the fancy stuff and go DWM mode with just one keybind if I want to. So it's pretty much flexible that way. I will suggest sway or Hyprland to anyone who wants Wayland as well as a tiler.
@@youdontknowme2508 Could you please tell me why DWL is not usable for now? I was thinking about going that route as Wayland is the way to go for many distros nowadays (asking your hones opinion :D).
@maxhudotdev some headers files it couldn't find. I've installed the dev headers package for X11 and still it couldn't do it. However, i3 worked out of the box for me.
I feel like as I try out more programs, I started liking simpler programs more and dwm fits that description. Initially I thought dwm was only for old boomers, but recently I started liking it because it just works and I can add all the features I want like adjustable gaps, show hide bar, and also how quick it is to setup on a new machine.
@@maxhudotdev I started with dwm but felt like it’s pointless to copy someone else’s code into someone else’s codebase to get a somewhat working wm, I like st tho since I don’t need much from my terminal

Hyprland is much better now, you should give it another shot!

Thats strange. Maybe try setting a different bitrate?

@@ReaIYoBlue I am using DWM which only works on x11 so yea issue is still there
Yes
exactly
Do you agree DWM is bloated because of X11?
yes. I heard theres a wayland port of dwm called dwl, but I’m gonna stay away from wayland for now because it’s a little too buggy for me and not all patches for dwm have been ported to dwl
@@maxhudotdev DWL is pretty much unusable as of now.

Dwm doesn't build in linux mint despite installing the tools to compile code.
what error message do you get?
@maxhudotdev some headers files it couldn't find. I've installed the dev headers package for X11 and still it couldn't do it. However, i3 worked out of the box for me.
@maxhudotdev I got dwm to build successfully by pointing the proper paths to the headers and libraries for my system.
nice
@@maxhudotdev I had to make the changes in the config dot mk file.
dwm just feels like a lazy writing tbh

I get what you mean. But once you patch it once, you don't really need to patch it again since you can just keep your own fork of dwm and clone that
How can a window manager feel like a lazy writing? That doesn't make any sense.
@@folksurvival In dwm, a lot of features needs to patch, even the basic features so maybe that's the reason?
