btw, I wanted to add Pantheon (Elementary OS' Desktop) too but upon dependency issues I decided not to
No sway? No Fluxbox? No i3? No Plasma(wayland)? Pathetic. (jk)
Good input, I'm gonna add these to my collection
Also hyprland if your distro has it.
awesome while you're at it
Ohoho write that down write that down
no Pantheon, arguably the most polished DE
Ummm i dont wanna be the guy but on nixos you wouldnt encounter dependency issues... i use nixos btw
NixOS is the new "I use arch btw"
Listen, if we could afford to give up half a terabyte just for our OS install, we'd be running Windows.
Lol i used a 64gb pendrive with nixos as my main for months. I only took the effort to switch to ssd becsuse boot was slow and the pendrive started dying. The main problem with nixos is that the learning curve is a wall instead of a curve.
Make your own with GTK and Hyprland using ags. Its like gnome on the backend but your own custom JavaScript for the frontend.
The authors personal dotfiles are pretty slick.
If I find the time & motivation to do so I might do. Atm I'm happy with what I've got (not this setup, this is just a VM I use for "scientific purposes")
install sway too
Good to see some Sway love in here. Been using it for a year or so and it works great
I was using i3wm and have migrated pretty recently. Rewriting the config was much less scarier than I initially hoped.
Knew I left something out
You're missing some tiling window managers
True, I might expand upon them ;)
where's the glorious Dwm ?
The only correct option
Another one for the list ;)
XFCE for me thanks
Hehe :p
That's literally me when I first got into Linux
I remember making lots and lots of VMs and sitting night over night because VM ≠ real hardware (surprisingly)... Those were wild times
Terminal. 🤡
Couldn't I just press Ctrl+Alt+F1
Gotta get some ratpoison
But will it kill my XFCE (because of the mascot - idk if it's a rat or mouse)?
Looks like my own used to look before. Just pure fun to try all of them because why not. :)
I would use different users to be sure to not mess up some dotfiles. Also icons and fonts will be very messed up
I use(d) a VM for testing purposes and things were working quite well unti I added Plasma. So, if I take this to real hardware I might split up the QT and GTK based DEs in separate distros
That was me, long ago...
I'm quite happy with my setup (not this one. This is just a VM I set up for "scientific purposes" and to see how some DEs are evolving)
