#awesomewm

I don't know if it's because of all the months I've spent using and configuring #AwesomeWM or because #python is so much more powerful and easy to read and write than #lua (at least to me), but in the last couple of days I've been giving a shot at #qtile and it's just great.

It took me just a few hours to replicate my Awesome set up, and although people really like to say "python == slow", it feels smoother and snappier than any other TWM I've used so far.

Kudos to Qtile!

I managed to move to #AwesomeWM from #dwm, after discovering that #suckless folks are a bunch of nazis.
Also, I had some stability issues that with all the C patching were hard to debug.
I gotta say dwm's workflow and defaults are just great, though, and I HAD to replicate most of it in Awesome.

It's not a minimalistic wm, it has so many features by default but such a great documentation though.

The problem is that I'm definitely not a fan of #lua, but I'll take it over nazis anytime. #linux

People would be LUCKY to discover the many desktops Linux has available

#GNOME #KDE (#Plasma) #XFCE #LXDE #Unity #i3 #awesomewm #ratpoison #enlightenment whatever #system76 is cooking up

that doesn't even cover the file managers, terminals, IDEs, browsers, media players, games (so many games!)

of course, *I'm* the crazy one for suggesting any of this.. But I've only used Linux desktops exclusively since ~1998, so what do i know?!
