recommendations for lightweight window managers for an old netbook

Hi, I’ve got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn’t start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but...

for lightweight, i would recommend LXQt (qt) or LXDE (gtk). XFCE also seems pretty nice.

also, you could check out i3 and bspwm if you a tiling window manager.

i would’ve recommended sway, but it sounds like you didn’t have a very nice experience with hyprland, and that could be because it uses wayland.

Vim is a great editor without an OS*

Lua function “item” called with argument of type table

The function is the outer part with the parentheses, the table is the inner part with the curly braces. [“attr”] is a table inside the table.

For example, to access (table)>attr>size you would write: table[“attr”][“size”] (assuming the table is named, that is, assigned to a variable called “table”)

  1. glib cee
  2. clang as if a metal pipe fell on the floor and made a loud noise: “CLANG”

my favourite programming language

The middle-right one. Would be nice though if instead of a clock it had something else since it’d be weird to have a static clock.

My secondary choice would be the one with the red tree.

yeah for some reason imgur does that but the video is sfw

DistroTube argued that the killer feature of tiling window managers is the workspaces, not the tiling

non-tiling window managers can also have different workspaces, or even DEs such as KDE Plasma. IIRC even Windows has those (although with inconvenient keybindings imo)

is it not pronounced /sɔɫ.mən/ (sol-muhn)???

bottom. i am afraid of heights

the fact that i’m tall doesn’t really help

So I guess you don’t do a lot of standing up? 😛

Nah, I tell some pretty good jokes

no, that’d be deleting /boot, /usr or /var

callyral,
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

because then it also deletes your personal files which is not equivalent to deleting System32

related question, although i don’t think it’s big enough for a post of its own.

if i use btrfs subvolumes, does it mean that i can have one EFI partition and one root partition, and then subdivide the root partition using subvolumes? how would that work during the installation process? or is it done after installation?

callyral, (edited )
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

I already have a partition layout in btrfs where I have a /home and a /root partition, since when I installed I didn’t know about btrfs subvolumes. I use Void Linux and I think it’s after installation, since I don’t remeber having a subvolumes step during the installation.

I’ll make sure to remind about btrfs subvolumes in case I reinstall. There’s a btrfs program that has a subvolume argument, so I’m guessing that’s what I could use.

blender is almost like the emacs of multimedia software, it’s got 3d modeling and rendering, 3d animation, grease paint (2d animation), non-linear video editing, and probably other features i haven’t heard of.

all of the above
