Yeah, using an unmaintained launcher and a mobile os that stopped getting security patches are not the same thing.
I put that there to make clear that I don't care at all if software I use (important or not) isn't maintained.
I don't use wofi, but in general - what's there to maintain? It's a launcher. There are no new novel ways popping up constantly to launch applications.
4 month ago is not that bad for such a small project. Eww looks more active, but I don't have the patience to learn how to create a menu. Its way too DIY for me.
Wofi ok. Rofi-Wayland great. Tofi awesome and enough for my use case.
Wofi is still working fine with wayfire. It's actually still offered on Arch as part of the "extra" repository:
% pacman -Ss wofi
extra/wofi 1.3-2 [installed]
launcher for wlroots-based wayland compositors
To be honest, I found it more straight forward than rofi, but I could still use rofi if it worked well on wayland. I've never used tofi, and it doesn't seem like a drop-in replacement for wofi. But I guess it's worth trying. It's seems less graphical than wofi though...
Does Rofi-Wayland support custom css the same way wofi does? If so I'll gladly switch, I really appreciate the ease of customizing wofi.
Tofi is so ugly tho. Do you have any cool dotfiles to share? :D
probably bc wofi may be in more repos n package managers afaik, seems like a popularity issue for rofi-wayland more than a more conscious decision to not recommend it
I've just been using fzf with a floating terminal window, and it's been great. I don't understand the need for rofi/wofi/dmenu.
Is there a specific setup for this? I've not used fzf
Yeah, Rofi-wayland doesn't work as well as it should. Maybe it works if you are using the default config or something similar but for me it is supposed to show at the top of the screen, dmenu-style, but it instead shows under my bar rather than over it, as it should. Bemenu, with j4-dmenu-desktop work just as well for me on Wayland, as rofi did on Xorg.
Kidding? Can't tell if joke
Why would I be kidding? /genq
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
