Dj PorCus - WillHey Fedi world ! I'm looking for my next laptop. I was using a X1 Gen6 for ages, was really happy about it. I tried a X1 Gen11 which was a mistake, the webcam will not be supported (<a href="https://hostux.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a>) soon, and the screen format is not my style so much. That's 2 good reason try another one. An easy one would be a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@frameworkcomputer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@frameworkcomputer</a> but they still don't deliver in .ch, nor will they answer my requests to become a reseller. Any other ideas ? I'm a <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/LMDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LMDE</a> , <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3wm</a> user and a network engineer. (retoot welcome)

Torstein Krause JohansenThe way I work in 2025. A fun tour through my workstation setup: i3, Firefox, Emacs and shortcuts galore. Theming and translucency.

stibBeen tweaking my <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Rofi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rofi</a> theme, because it was rainy and I was too knackered to do anything else useful today. Rofi is an application switcher and more (calculator, character picker, launcher, weather widget, etc.). It is used in minimalist window managers like <a href="https://aus.social/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3wm</a>, instead of a top-bar, dock or Start™ menu. I used to use <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Litestep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Litestep</a> on Windows, and using i3 and Rofi to DIY my own graphical shell feels similar. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Ricing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ricing</a>

Robin JayasingheBack in the days I was a die-hard <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3wm</a> user. So the concepts are not new to me. For the Mac I chose <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/aerospace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aerospace</a> which feels pretty similar to i3.

stibWhat is great about <a href="https://aus.social/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3wm</a> is that if you want the application switcher to also include info like the time and what it's like outside, you can just tweak some config files, set up a systemd timer to run a script that fetches the data from wttr.in, and you get the time and weather right there in your application switcher. What's not so great about i3wm is that you can tweak some config files, set up a systemd timer to run a script that fetches the data from wttr.in, and get the time and weather right in your application switcher, then start thinking about some other tweaks you could do, and hello it's 1 in the morning and you haven't actually done that actual thing you sat down at the computer to do. (What is brilliant is that the person who actually developed the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/rofi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rofi</a> application switcher will help you when you ask on the github discussion page). <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a>

Csepp 🌢One really nice thing I miss from <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GNOME</a> that both <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3wm</a> and <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sway</a> have is the ability to forcefully toggle fullscreen and change window sizes below the minimum. :sadlinux: Practical example: some Wine apps will lose fullscreen after alt-tab and then refuse to go back until restarted, which is less than ideal if I'm hosting a server for a LAN party.

Devin Prater :blind:For those who are interested in alternative ways to use a Linux interface, there are things even lighter than desktop environments, called window managers. There's one called I3, and <a href="https://social.wolfe.casa/users/storm" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@storm</a> has made an accessibility plugin forit, which also adds other cool stuff like the ability to control audio playback and such.

Axel ⌨🐧🐪🚴😷 | R.I.P Natenom<a href="https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@nixCraft</a>: At least for productivity and customization, you don't need a desktop environment. A good window manager already suffices—and IMHO the lead has clearly <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3wm</a> aka just <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/i3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3</a> (and maybe its Wayland counterpart <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sway</a>).It also counts for aesthetics, at least if you prefer minimalism. 😉

Claudine C :antifa:Because I'm bad at throwing things away, I have two Intel MacBooks Pro (2012 and 2018) sitting at home not doing anything. I haven't looked at the state of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> on the desktop/laptop since before 2012, except for a brief moment around 2020 when I was between Macs and attempted to use my Raspberry Pi as my everyday – not quite up to the demands of my job.What distros should I look at for tinkering on older Intel Macs? I'm most familiar with Debian and its derivatives but I'm open to other systems. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/alpinelinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alpinelinux</a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/voidlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#voidlinux</a> have come up on my radar. I don't particularly want a desktop environment that looks like macOS or Windows, and would be happy to just use <a href="https://aus.social/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3wm</a>.

release_candidateIt was surprisingly easy! Most of the desktop tools that I use were included as packages.I used <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3wm</a> and reused my dotfiles.My <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/archlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archlinux</a> dotfiles were almost enough. Weirdly <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/alacritty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alacritty</a> didn't like the TOML config file format. Had to use YAML.Fonts, icons, etc have almost the same names as in Arch. Emoji fonts worked! I honestly didn't expect the emoji fonts working lolThe only thing that I miss is <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetworkManager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetworkManager</a>. What is the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> alternative for NetworkManager?

Me siento en la encrusijada, no se que mierda hacer. Instale hyprland en mi pc con opensuse, estaba andando bien pero de pronto al abrir una terminal crasheaba todo, re instale todo de nuevo quedo bien. Creo que no es una distro para tenerla con hyprland me siento como, con el entorno. Creo que migrare a arch o <a href="https://masto.es/tags/endeverous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#endeverous</a> , con algun scrip se isntalan muchos menos cosas de hyprland que en opensuse. Si alguien me recomienda algo leeeeo gracias!
