Hey man , love your videos especially those on bspwn ! So for someone who kinda stopped on the latest video of that first series of Debian + bspwn , (used it on eleven , trying to replicate it to Debian 12 ) , how do we manage to get from there to this video ? Some things i noticed is that terminal is different, file manager is different also , Compton is new also, so I just kinda want to know which are your defaults now , so i can replicate it on my new isntance of debian 12 ☺️☺️☺️
I personally believe the true path to desktop enlightenment is being able to use keyboard and/or mouse when the task is easier or more efficient. I may be unqualified to make this claim as my keyboard fu is not the best.
@@MrBearyMcBearface well, after learning about css cust of firefox, I did similar changes on vivaldi... using the keybard is very interesting. Now I'm trying to learn how to configurate a wm, but I'm not that tech savvy.
Theres so many distros, I wish some of them included pre configured wm's. The only preconfigured is ubuntusway that works well out of the box. Ready to go.
Because I'm so rubbish with setting up WMs all by myself, I threw Arco Linux on a machine with ALL the desktops it had available (i3, dwm, xmond, openbox, etc.). It allowed me to see how and why people prefer this version over that version of WM. I've only succeeded...partially...setting up Openbox on Arch from scratch. I've never grasped why the MAKE command and such don't always work when I use...say...menumaker. Oh, well. I never found a favourite tiling WM, so I just stuck with Openbox. Tiling I never used in the "real world" Mac or Windows (yecch...), so I suppose I only prefer floating windows to tiling ones. I also never grasped why all the key bindings were so "important." Nonetheless, this was an adventure well worth the months I took to fiddle with it. Learned a lot about...me, lol!
people don't really explain things well. but different window managers is basically just the thing that holds your window, the difference in most of the WM's is just that if you know a certain language you can basically use the one you want that you know. when i found linux i followed distrotube, he had a bunch of videos on wm's and how to use terminal and commands and different things, and so i've tried i3, bspwm, qtile, awesomewm, xmonad, i've tried most of them. and for ME who knows absolutely nothing about programming lua aka awesomeWM is my go to WM. sure i cheat and use the awesome-copycat themes config and customize it. but it works. i've tried to use qtile a few times and can't ever get it to work for me. but there may be a few WM's that have more features but mostly its about the language there written in.
i have an issue with debian, while playing any videos it shows weird line breaks in video, idk whether it is gpu driver issue, i follow some tutorial but wont work, i have gt 710 same like you, if anyone have any solution please let me know, thank you.
Just making sure your driver is the : nvidia-tesla-470-driver. Run nvidia-detect to make sure the driver is shown. nvidia-smi to show current driver version.
Also , how would u i make this work if i was using 2 monitors ? Is there any kind of hiccup in that ? or at least make my ultrawide display the primary one , when connected to the laptop, and the laptop one the primary when there is no connection
I guess the question is... do you need a status bar? If so, tint2 isn't pretty but works. But, since you asked, I would opt for no bar if I wasn't using polybar for BSPWM.
bspwm is amazing, and there's a reason I went with hyprland when switching to wayland, as it's basically just 95% of what bspwm is. I can't stand i3/sway though, because the manual aspect of it is just annoying and slows me down, even with the autotiling script it's still pretty limiting in that regard.

Thanks man, you go through a lot of stuff for beginners on this video that's surprisingly hard to find on RUclips
Glad you think so!
Nice to have you back! Dwm, Awesome as a fallback ;)
I recommend your u to add wifi symbols,volume increase and decrease and Brightness controls

this is really cool, I'll definitely give it a try.
Awesome as always
Not needing the mouse gives you a nice sense of power.

Manjaro has i3 and sway
can you do a video about the stack wm cwm?
thanks in advance
I like wmctrl -s 1 && pcmanfm. It will open pcmanfm on workspace 2. Or, xdotool set_desktop 1 && pcmanfm ~/ which does the same thing.
Nice Larry!
fully agreed!
What do you think about Hyprland?
Cool. Sticking with xorg and its wms for now.
Have you a script for installation your config like your i3 version?
check my dotfiles. github.com/drewgrif/dotfiles

Welcome back! Resubbed. Love your content. Did you take a look at hyprland?
Not yet!
Yes, i3 would have been my recommendation. Preselection in bspwm can be quite confusing for noobs. But it's a close second.

@@JustAGuyLinux i solve the problem
@@JustAGuyLinux thank you
I'm always drawn to xfce.
XFCE is great.
Openbox is where I stay ☺
Open is my refuge to avoid Wayland
Also , how would u i make this work if i was using 2 monitors ? Is there any kind of hiccup in that ? or at least make my ultrawide display the primary one , when connected to the laptop, and the laptop one the primary when there is no connection
Thoughts on BSPWM vs Qtile?
Both are good. With Debian I prefer BSPWM. I think I would give more consideration for qtile if I was using a different distro like Arch.
What do you recommend instead of Polybar?. I really like BSPWM but I guess my only problem is the Status Bar dilemma.
I guess the question is... do you need a status bar? If so, tint2 isn't pretty but works. But, since you asked, I would opt for no bar if I wasn't using polybar for BSPWM.
bspwm is amazing, and there's a reason I went with hyprland when switching to wayland, as it's basically just 95% of what bspwm is.
I can't stand i3/sway though, because the manual aspect of it is just annoying and slows me down, even with the autotiling script it's still pretty limiting in that regard.
After I learned lua I'd prefer to switch from bspwm to awesomewm. I'm not convinced cos wayland will be the future.
