i have a gentoo system with a custom s6-rc service tree that fully replaces openrc and boots via s6-linux-init.
instead of a display manager i have tinydm (from postmarketos) and autologin setup. since i use full-disk encryption and suspend-to-disk i find that i don’t need the extra login step into my user session.
i have a bunch of bemenu-based helpers for wifi, bluetooth, vpn, audio, passwords, mounting drives, etc.
i don’t have polkit or sudo installed. i use doas.
not sure for i3, i think foot is wayland-only. but i have the same setup with sway and am very happy
since you seem to consider alacritty, which is pretty minimal in features, maybe give foot a shot as well. i find it fits best into tiling wm land (sway, river, etc.) so might not be your cup of tea…
I always use https://luciole-vision.com/luciole-en.html to typeset documents like letters and such. I find it pleasant looking and it is supposedly easy to read for people with dyslexia.
except XML xD
in theory shouldn’t it be possible to use bubblewrap and the xdg-desktop-portal project to hack together only the sandboxing bits of flatpak while leaving out ostree/distribution
you might run into this though: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/737
i am currently testing https://iamb.chat/ it’s a bit unique in how it does things but promising of you’re into TUI and vim
systemd is great, but being disingenious isn’t helping anyone:
chrony -> sd-timesyncd […] one less daemon
just because it ships with systemd doesn’t mean it magically runs without it’s own process
what’s the app? looks like it could be discord? running in flatpak? do you find the emoji font with fc-list | grep emoji? do other apps show emoji?
you can configure mako to not show notifications and it will keep a history of them as well. not to discredit your project but makes me wonder if something like this can be built with some bash scripting :)
unless we’re talking about my main machine, which runs gentoo, i’ll always default to alpine. super solid base system and packages. super accessible when it comes to upstreaming packages. I only wish they had s6 as an option for init/service manager
ahh yeah, i heard nvidia can be a pain in the ass with sway/wayland. did you try sway when you still needed the --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia flag lol?
but i remember reading about some new driver that made things much better… no idea though i’ve always been on intel-only laptops
mixes dpi
never had any issues with that. although i don’t think i even have anything going through xwayland at this point
apps to interact with ppl
zoom? or something electron-based?
xcape
i don’t know the tool, but the readme sounds like evdoublebind might work, it’s rock solid for me, replacing caps lock with escape on tap/alt om hold
screensharing
i feel you. when i started out with sway i had this horrible hack running a vnc server and a x11 vnc client on the same machine because pre-pipewire browsers could only share x11 windows haha
but nowadays that works really well. only zoom is still a little annoying ux wise. sometimes their screenshare popup just disappears leaving me with no way to stop a share gracefully.
sway + bemenu for building my own utilities
btw what distro are my fellow sway users on? i’m loving the control i get over what i install with gentoo
how is everyone interacting with audio, networking, bluetooth?
huh, was it not before? i thought the entire lx* space was canonical’s thing
is forgeign-toplevel-list related/analogous to wlr-foreign-toplevel-management?
