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)

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Good input, I'm gonna add these to my collection

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also hyprland if your distro has it.

Ummm i dont wanna be the guy but on nixos you wouldnt encounter dependency issues... i use nixos btw

[–] Ozy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does NixOS offer variants of Pantheon, Unity or Cosmic tho?

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Cosmic yes, idk about pantheon or unity. It probably does have them as nixpkgs is literally the largest package repo.

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, alright

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")

Good to see some Sway love in here. Been using it for a year or so and it works great

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I was using i3wm and have migrated pretty recently. Rewriting the config was much less scarier than I initially hoped.

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Knew I left something out

You're missing some tiling window managers

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

True, I might expand upon them ;)

What OS are you on? I hear it's a pain to add to Ubuntu.

where's the glorious Dwm ?

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The only correct option

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Another one for the list ;)

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I forgot some window managers I admit :')

That's literally me when I first got into Linux

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I remember making lots and lots of VMs and sitting night over night because VM ≠ real hardware (surprisingly)... Those were wild times

But will it kill my XFCE (because of the mascot - idk if it's a rat or mouse)?

What is cutefish, and how do I use it?

Looks like my own used to look before. Just pure fun to try all of them because why not. :)

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I would use different users to be sure to not mess up some dotfiles. Also icons and fonts will be very messed up

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] 1984 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah I agree, that would be the best, but also slightly annoying. No more common shell history or web history and stuff like that.

I haven't had any major breakage using both Gnome and Plasma myself. It works fine. But it's annoying to see Gnome apps in the Plasma menus (when typing program names).

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gnome and Plasma is the absolute worst example. Normally either GNOME or Plasma take over all icons and everything looks messed up. For me even after installing just Dolphin on GNOME everything was messed up.

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)
