Spent lots of time with Gnome 2.
In Dec 2024 I got hooked in Hyprland on Arch and have a cool rice for it. But I’ve tried KDE on desktop now with Parrot OS since Plasma is popular. Still need to find some cool dot files or rice it myself.
I’ve noticed SwayFX getting lots of love lately. I might use that as an option with Plasma but am afraid of conflicts. I’m excited about it since Linux has now officially replaced windows on my gaming rig, which is the very last MS computer left in my house.
I’ve been using i3 for about a decade now. Wmfs for about 5 years before that.
PS. Don’t use racist lingo please.
Where is racist lingo? Note that the definition of offense changes with different countries. I might have never heard about what you’re referring to.
No worries!
Rice, ricing, ricer, etc. It’s common racist lingo that’s been used for decades.
It’s also a common term used (for customising your desktop) on Reddit. They literally borrowed the word due to it’s rasist meaning.
However. This is not Reddit, and it would be nice if we could keep it more civil here, which is why I’m bringing it up. :)
I’ve never heard that. I also have no idea what it references. You have a source for that? In what country is it a rascist slur? I’m quite lost here, but I’m also dense, so…
Depends on if playing Demons Souls.
Vanilla gnome is pretty peak
I loved Gnome 2. Still have it one a machine.
Gnome 2 was so good. It took years for gnome 3/40whatever to get to a point where I felt like it was worth switching back to.
mangoWM. my workload requires a lot of resources like vivado/vitis. the more resources I have available the better. I’ve no where near customized my WM (FFS, I’m still using iwctl to configure WiFi), that said it does run great, using about 560 MB on idle.
Still using iwctl for WiFi? You need some help? That should only be for initial setup IIRC.
yes, and I couldn’t really care what it was intended to be used for. clearly I could still use it as a WiFi utility posts installation.
As per the arch wiki it says “iwd is a wireless dameon for Linux written by Intel.” “The core goal of the project is to optimize resources utilization by not depending on external libraries.”
the point of why I’m using it is for that exact reason. it does the same thing every other WiFi GUI/TUI out there. unless there is a vulnerability/security risk of using iwd, I couldn’t really care less about the other options, even if that means manually configuring enterprise and public networks.
