Do you have a special way to quickly open frequently opened/closed apps in #OpenSource #Sway #WindowManager?
Do you have a special way to quickly open frequently opened/closed apps in #OpenSource #Sway #WindowManager?
So, I've been a Rectangle (https://rectangleapp.com) girl for a while now, but I bought a lifetime license of Better Touch Tool (https://folivora.ai) years ago, and I never used it. Thing is: it was overwhelming. So much you can do with it with the kitchen sink thrown in. But now that I've learned how to use it as a WM, I'm starting to think I might redo all my window management with it because of the insane amount of options.

How can people work with the macOS window manager?!
@simondassow the MacOS window manager is really one of the worst I have ever used.
I strongly prefer to use apps in maximized windows because each app (Blender, Gimp, Emacs, a terminal emulator) has it’s own unique workflow that works best in maximized windows. However when I maximize windows in MacOS and switch between them with the Control-Left/Right arrows, it waits a quarter of a second to animate the screen transition. During this animated transition it drops all keystrokes events.
So I might switch from one app to another and press some keys to do something only to discover that the keys I pressed were ignored because I didn’t wait just long enough for the animated screen transition to finish. When switching to a terminal emulator or Emacs, these dropped keystrokes can actually change the command that I enter by accident, which can (and often does) corrupt data in the files I am working on.
On Linux, all window managers transition between desktop workspaces instantly, even if there is an animation key events are not dropped. It honestly feels like Mac OS is fucking with me, deliberately trying to slow me down when I am trying to get work done.
Yes, I tried to disable the screen animations, it doesn’t seem to be possible. The best I could do was use the fastest transition, which is a fade-in.
Anyone that daily drives a #WindowManager, Do you also use a #Displaymanager / #LoginManager?
i have more #ux opinions on window managers and applications reimplementing tiling in their own guis, but i haven't mulled over it that much yet so... that's a future thread. but essentially i believe, modern window managers are too specialized, forcing application developers and gui toolkit developers to compensate with subpar, restrictive and incosistent interfaces.
this applies to sidebars, panels, modals (though that often does leverage WMs), and "windows" in #emacs (not frames), and whatever #tmux (or gnu screen) is doing. i understand historically why this was the case, these applications originally took over the entire monitor, and thus had to reimplement tiling and window management. but why do modern applications copy this?
i think the answer is restrictive window managers, and the primarily cause of issues being floating window managers. most of the window management in-app is tiling stuff. but i haven't thought or researched too much into this, so i'm not sure.

From the first day after my transition from windows to #linux I am still wondering about so many things and possibilities. And as a proper #newuser I've wondered why I don't see the benefit of some things people praise, like #windowmanager or #homelab or things like that.
After some time I've come to realize that I certainly don't need to do everything Linux has to offer.
I am happy to be just an ordinary user.
...but maybe one day... Who knows, right?
In search of an #OperatingSystem and #WindowManager or #DesktopEnvironment that uses less #hardware resources than #AlpineLinux and #LXQt. There's only one option I'm aware of that's not #performance #benchmarked on https://EveryByteCounts.org. Curious if anyone might be aware of any options.
KWin 6.3 Brings Crystal-Clear Fractional Scaling to KDE Plasma #Kwin #KDE #Plasma #WindowManager #Linux

KDE + Wayland, le seul tiling manager que je peux avoir c'est un script un peu moyen ? J'ai trouvé Polonium mais je ne sais pas si il y a mieux et qui fonctionne bien.
Dites-moi !
@eugenialoli @faxe I would still choose Arch, Hyprland and ML4W dot files. Great system, updates on time and a simple environment. #Linux #hyprland #windowmanager #arch

A new #Video https://youtu.be/f57rGhBm3Vk for your #cats on #Debian 12.6 #Server and with #GnomeDesktop 43.9 has been #performance #benchmarked and is ranked 23rd in the #DesktopEnvironment #OperatingSystem #TierList. The bundled #GnomeDesktopEnvironment, #Mutter #WindowManager, and #GDM #DisplayManager all appear to be 1-2 year old versions of the #software. The server performance with 280M Memory Usage, 0 CPU Load, and 1.8G Disk Usage, and 11 second reboot time are not the best.
The #Desktop #OperatingSystem #Benchmark Tier List has been updated on https://everybytecounts.org/ for December 2024 dates. Notably #TinyDM #DisplayManager used by #PostMarketOS, doesn't appear to have any updates in the repository for a year. #EnlightenmentWM #WindowManager has activity in the repository, but no new release for a year. #KWin #WM has newer releases, hopefully #AlpineLinux 3.21 (in days/weeks) will have a newer version.
Anyone daily drive a #console #WindowManager like #dvtm? :) #linux
#EnlightenmentDesktop 26 with #NixOS 24.05 #performance #benchmark #video https://youtu.be/qYjxzNrxSn0. Is Enlightenment a #DesktopEnvironment or a #WindowManager? It seems more like a fully featured Window Manager, unless there is some way to swap out the Window Manager with Enlightenment and keep the Desktop Environment. At least it performs better than #HannahMontanaLinux which is better than most #Linux distributions.
