May you receive the best dotfiles from Santa!

If your are on Wayland then I recommend gammastep or wlsunset.

 

I just tried out this new compositor and it seems very promising. It is easy to configure, and has most features one would expect. The only thing I really did not like is that one can't focus windows depending on their direction.

I'm a simple man, I see a negative Net Upgrade Size and I get horny.

Welcome to Hyprland! After trying all compositors I can assure you its the best and easier to use.

As the the fiasco, some people can't help it but being cunts to each other(regardless of political views). There is a bad reputation of Hyprland/Vaxry in places that are predominantly left-lenient (like Lemmy), posts about it immediately get downvoted. I can see this happen in my community all the time and more so after the whole Omarchy thing.

Its really disheartening for people who don't want to be part of any of this and just want to focus on the amazing power of window managers.

As for Omarchy I woud prefer to recommend other Arch based distros that come with the option to install a Hyprland flavour. My reasons were: bad keybinds, too many "app" (web-apps), installs some programs externally when native packages are available, dotfiles are almost default and more. I read an article about it which just confirms this.

 

I use wlr-which-key for managing power profiles, monitors and more, what programs do you guys use for this use case?

 

The author of swww has renamed the project to "awww" and moved the project to Codeberg. They explain the reason behind it in their blog post.

Thanks for mentioning this, will give it a look.

Alpaca is the GTK client of Ollama right? I used it for a while to let my family have a go at local LLM's. It was very nice for them but on my computer it ran significantly slower than what they expected so that's that.

Stow's mechanism sounds great, at the moment I'm trying out yadm's handy encryption to handle some secrets and API keys. Will very likely switch to Stow anyway.

thank you as well

I've run several LLM's with Ollama (locally) and I have to say that is was fun but it is not worth it at all. It does get many answers right but it does not even come close to compensate the amount of time spent on generating bad answers and troubleshooting those. Not to mention the amount of energy the computer is using.

In the end I just rather spent my time actually learning the thing I'm supposed to solve or just skim through documentation if I just want the answer.

 

Just discovered this, it has templates, encryption and is rather easy to use because its a git wrapper.

I'm aware of these at the moment:

Which ones have you used? And which will you recommend?

 

For me:

  • wlr-which-key: It lets me execute commands quickly without me having to type those or remember keybinds.
  • impala & bluetui: TUI wifi and bluetooth connectivity with a lot of ease, speed and relatively lightweight.
  • waypaper: Sometimes I just want to test many wallpapers quickly and this is the most convenient of previewing them.

And then this happens:

$ command -h
Invalid argument
Usage:
    command [subcommand]
Available Subcommands:
    help
    version
    build
    etc
 

Over time my home directory gets filled with unwanted files, with xdg-ninja you can clean those up.

 

This launcher is command runner, app launcher, clipboard manager, emoji picker and calculator all in one. It is also one of the best looking launchers out there.

I suggest following this community if you are a Sway user. Cheers!

Yah, account switching in Thunder is very convenient.

I felt so empty when I finished the game, it was so damn good.

 

Let the fire fade — not your focus.

A just encountered this theme and loved it. By the way, Ashen comes with Helix's themes so one just needs to :theme ashen inside Helix to test it.

Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!

I don't use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

 

There is no Logitech Options for Linux but I just found this and solved my wireless mouse pairing issue plus I can now modify the DPI setting and more.
