Personally, I'd rather not learn yet another programming language just to configure a WM, and truthfully, I kind of hate configuration files being programming languages in the first place. Maybe one day I'll fork DWM and integrate a config file parser into it, add all the features I can think of and make it more to my liking. Until then I'll just keep using KDE with all the myriad shortcut keys I have for doing whatever window management I want, including pushing them into tile positions. As a bonus, when Wayland is fully implemented, KDE will work with it fully. And yes, I fully realize that many people won't get my hatred for this type of configuration file that all the WM's seem to use given that I know how to program, but I will also fully admit to being weird, but also the process of updating their configuration is just annoying.
Regolith is a nice wrapper arpund i3wm, which works well out of the box, and you can add things using the apt package manager. You still will have to learn the config language (which is the exact same of i3wm), but you will only need it for small tweaks The only problem is that is available on ubuntu only, so if you have ubuntu you can give jt a try
Because i know c++ doesn't mean i want to configure my desktop with it. KDE user here as well, although I regularly relog to bspwm when kwin is deleting my game performance. I'm looking into Hyprland as well
yeah I was amazed the first time I looked at a wm config file, expecting most of the work to be done already, maybe some commented out lines of config... nooope! have fun reading the docs! this is your day now!
@@XenHat Indeed. I feel like it's incomplete if the way to configure it is by writing code, even if it doesn't require recompiling it. It might be okay to do hot patches, prior to a major release invalidating the need for said patch, but otherwise no.
I had problems running Sway (which uses Wayland) in a libvirt/QEMU VM, it got very buggy and glitchy, and consumed a lot of CPU processing. It also doesn't work with openSUSE Tumbleweed YaST, because running GUI as sudo in Wayland is not possible. But it is a great TWM, by the way.
What if I want my tiles to be laid out dynamically, but I also may want to move (and possibly resize) some of them to other places for convenience sake?
You can resize in hyprland, I normally just use the default mod key and right click and drag on a window to resize as well as most tiling window managers have keybinds for resizing and moving windows.
man i can't find myself picking between hlwm and xmonad, I want the most customisablity out of a wm but I also want the frames that hlwm offers and I can't really find something in xmonad-contrib that implements something like that, also, your top choices are goated
Xorg works, wayland isn't giving me any better productivity or gaming. If anything, nvidia proprietary and wayland don't get along so why bother with something not needed? Same reason i don't use systemd or pulseaudio, with Gentoo its a breeze to stay away from unwanted things, a little USE - flag and never again something will bother you and as a bonus you end with a leaner and much stable and updated system.
I'm a ratpoison guy because it's extremely lightweight with no dependency whatsoever, and my ratpoisonrc is 10 lines at most i don't need to copy any dotfiles after a clean linux installation write the 10 lines in 10 seconds and i'm good to go, but recently i switching to wayland because no matter tweak i did i found online it doesn't fix screen tearing whlist watching videos on browser completely and so i'm using river wm + rivercarro layout. I haven't tried hyprland yet, does it have monocle layout built-in? I was to give up ratpoison/emacs type keybinding, i want to keep the monocle at least. Aside from monocle layout, i don't need any features, i need it to be ultra simple and raw.
I never used the monocle layout, so I am not sure. But I wouldn't be surprised if you reach out to Vaxry or his Discord (he is the creator of Hyprland) and they tell you how to implement it in your config
Вітаю! Слухай, хотів би почути твою думку з приводу тайлового менеджера "Hyprland". Як він тобі? І чи варто морочитися з налаштуванням під відеокарти Nvidia для Wayland
I ran your message through Google so hopefully you can do so if you need to with this one. If you have an Nvidia graphics card that's newer than the 1000 series your fine and Hyprland should be fine with some extra setup. Now if you have the 1000 or older it's not going to work and you should either buy a new GPU or use something else.

We all have our way of doing things, thanks for sharing how you go about stuff 👍

Why wouldn't I wanna start with hyprland? Its default config is also really easy to understand plus it looks the prettiest right out of the box

Welcome back dude
Thank you good to be back!

You can resize in hyprland, I normally just use the default mod key and right click and drag on a window to resize as well as most tiling window managers have keybinds for resizing and moving windows.
You probably want awesomwm, it has a ton of built-in modes including both floating and tiling that you can switch between using a keyboard shortcut.
My top three are i3, bspwm, and herbstluftwm

Gnome + Forge extension worked for me better than i3

Wayland is simply not good enough
Xorg is definitely need to move with it legacy code, but Wayland is too unstable for now
@@animainmilol I personally haven't had issues with wayland but I use AMD lol. My biggest thing is the potential
Best wallpaper

Less weed .....more notes. Good to see you back. Solid video.
Haha, thank you
Funny because I always have screen tearing on wayland, xorg is much much more stable
I have awful screen tearing on X11 and zero on wayland.
😮
