A minimal desktop setup.
Info:
Recently switched from Guix to Void, mostly because it's much simpler and I felt that my desktop didn't need the complexity of Guix.
“my desktop didn’t need the complexity of Guix”
so … Alpine next?
Maybe, not sure how musl compares to glibc. I quite like Runit and xbps though so I don't feel like I'm in a rush.
10/10 distro and 10/10 setup. FWMs ftw
Yeah, I think Hikari combines the best of both. In the rare cases I need to tile, it has that capability but in most cases I have 1-2 windows and find it easier to work with them when the windows are smaller.
Hmm how hard is it to configure and add window decorations? I might take a look at it if I can use it without key bindings
Configuration is straight forward with a file but you won't be able to use it without keybindings.
Then it's not for me. Thanks for the answer though
I would use it but on my hardware its buggy and unmaintained.
is hikari good as a floating wm?
I think it's very underrated. It has some features I really appreciate:
It matches my workflow very well.
Does it work well for you? I used cwm on X11 (fairly similar to Hikari), but last time I tried Hikari on Void I kept running into weird issues.
Yeah I'd say so.
The only issues I've had is that pinch-to-zoom and fractional scaling does not work (but easily solvable).
It looks like hikari developement has stalled a bit, are you using a fork or something like that? Great setup btw:)
Thanks! Hmm, could be that it has stalled, though it's working great for me so I don't really know if it's a problem. I'm using the main repo.
What desktop?
I absolutely love how minimalist this looks....
