Bumped + fixed #gpaste (#gnome #clipboard manager) build in #guix. I still use gnome although planning to switch to #sway > 1.5 years already. And this is the one of most useful packages/extensions for me out there in gnome ecosystem
Everything is just stolen from nixpkgs

The more I play around with #emacs, the further down the rabbit hole I go. Just found Newsticker, and lo, it's awesome. I'm currently down to two open apps - Emacs and Qutebrowser (runnig on #sway) It's slightly surreal that things can be distilled down to such a simple setup, and yet feel so productive.
Something I miss from #Tiling wms/compositors like #i3wm and #sway when I'm on #KDE:
I use #Yakuake on KDE #Plasma to have a terminal that's easily accessible, but stays out of my way when I don't want to see it.
On tiling setups, I use disappearing windows (I forget the actual name of the feature) that will pop up when I hit super+-, appear one at a time, and then disappear.
Yakuake lets you do tiling as well within its window, but I kinda miss the ability to cycle through a bunch of windows very easily. I mean, I've got the keyboard shortcuts set up very nicely, so it's just F12 to make the window appear and disappear, and then control+tab to cycle through tabs or control+pgup/pgdown to jump between panes, but somehow the tiling setup is just a bit easier to do. Less thinking, just super+-. ;)
I don't know if I'll continue to use tiling setup too much longer, though. It's too aggravating to figure out how to get the occasional gnome program to work properly. There's always some kind of fancy library initialization that I fail to get right. It's easier to just use a DE and whittle it down to nearly tiling levels of productivity.

Como utilizar #gnome como un tiling window manager al estilo de #sway o #hyprland con un par de extensiones y con toda la potencia y personalización

@olibois that is pretty sweet! I need to figure out if it's possible to use arrow keys with bindsym. It seems like the #Sway defaults, at least on #AlpineLinux uses letter keys for directions, instead of the arrow keys.
Which bindsym keyboard shortcut do you use to swaylock your system on #Sway? :) The L key appears to be reserved for $right in the stock #AlpineLinux ~/.config/sway/config
With #Wayland #Sway on #AlpineLinux are there any recommended bars? Currently running stock #swayrbar. While better than stock #waybar, it still feels like it's lacking. The two big things I find it missing are Autohide and Brightnessctl control. A way to execute swaylock/shutdown/reboot from the bar would also be great!
How do you launch #flatpak apps on #AlpineLinux with #Sway? :)
Linux desktop environments suck. Reject modernity. Embrace tradition. Give me scrollbars.
Anybody have Wayland-compatibile tiling compositor (WM) recommenddations? I'd been using #xmonad for years, but it doesn't work with Wayland. #KDE #Plasma with #bismuth was good for me, but Bismuth doesn't work with latest Plasma. I've really not found anything good with Gnome, and the options like #sway and #hyprland require a bunch of time to configure and don't do things like remembering what to do when I plug in different external monitors like KDE does. I appreciate KDE's automation.
@Riedler This is timely. I'd been using #xmonad for years, but it doesn't work well with Wayland. #KDE #Plasma with #bismuth was good for me, but Bismuth doesn't work with the latest KDE. I've really not found anything good with Gnome, and the options like #sway and #hyprland require a bunch of time to configure and don't do things like remembering what to do when I plug in different external monitors like KDE does.
I’ve been working on a #freebsd from scratch blog post series and was going to skip right over Xorg (preferring #wayland and #sway)…and then I heard about #NSCDE - a reimplementation of #Solaris #CDE look-and-feel via #fvwm
Thanks to work by Christian Moerz, it was a snap. Literally `pkg install Xorg nscde` a change to my .xinitrc and I was up in a pastel bliss again. Run #interlisp on it is a beautiful joy.
I was so impressed AND I got to avoid s security holes and bit rot— so I sent some librepay love. It’s a great project!
