Sadly, no "Hyper" key from yesteryear yet.

#102Earlier quoted context omitted.
Majority of time I only have 2-4 apps open: terminal/IDE, browser, music player and some IM. Floating windows seems like a waste of space. Browser is full-screen on any regular proportion screen (i.e. not ultra-wide). I rarely use floating windows, even on windowed-WMs.
I’m sure there’s differences in workflow styles. I tend to have multiple tasks in flight at any given moment and switch between them often enough that closing+opening sets of apps and windows represents showstopping overhead, so lots of things just sit open. Floating windows on mutliple desktops with dual monitors suits this style well. It’s worth noting that I don’t spend large amounts of time in terminals and text…
I work on multiple tasks too, it's just all of it is done is either in a browser tab or terminal tab. Usually those live in separate virtual screens, but one of my machines has an ultrawide, so I can comfortably put 2-3 tiles on it depending on what I'm working on.
Tiling is all about efficient use of space (and wasting all gains by adding cool looking gaps to post on UnixPorn). I find floating windows just hard to navigate and wasteful when 99% of time I want the app to be in a full-screen. Hence why macOS splits get me pretty much where I want to be.

There's a sweet omarchy-nix config that I really like https://github.com/henrysipp/omarchy-nix

#106Last time I checked hyprland was pretty much despised in the wider linux developer community. See for example https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html . Has anything about that changed?
Drew Devault is a left wing nutjob. He's done nothing but cause drama and attack people for years now.
Vaxry is an immature ~20 year old Polish dude. That means a bit of angst, Eastern European humour, more conservative opinions than most US tech workers.
Yeah, Vaxry is considered abrasive to some of the ultra-privileged leftwing US tech sphere. Most people don't care, just as people don't care about DD's views when using Sway, Miguel de Icaza's views when using Gnome, etc...

#108I want to love Omarchy but replacing the boot splash screen with its logo is rough, I wish there was a clear way to disable that
The whole point of omarchy is to give you great defaults, and then it being linux everything is completely customizable. Which with ChatGpt/Grok is trivial these days for even a non linux native.
I've actually searched quite a bit on how to disable it and can't find anything (partially because there aren't great search terms for it), if you've got a clue I would love to hear it but I assure you it is not obvious.

You can. You can either change the logo or disable the splash screen altogether by removing a kernel parameter. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Plymouth
Thanks for the tip, "Plymouth" was the keyword I was missing here

#110I might be in the minority but I actually like overlapping windows - often the entire window is not necessary to get the data I am interested in. Right now I'm running tests in another window and I have a sliver of that window visible while the majority of the screen real-estate gets used for the browser in primary window.
I'm beginning to really like scrolling window managers. It's optimized for minimal splits (let's say 2-3 windows) per view but it makes it effortless to flip between apps. Floating windows is also an option and making any of them full screen is available too. Imagine tiling a bunch of pieces of paper on your floor and now you want to focus on a few of them at a time. That's basically what a scrolling window manager a…
I recall being able to set FVWM2 desktop size larger than the screen size. Some people went really large with this, but I found it way too easy to lose track of windows. I’m curious as to how these new window managers are different.
