priapus, to linux in Fully featured tilling window managers (like DEs) for lazy people

You use the autotiling script to make i3 dynamic

priapus, to linux in Does Nix's break from FHS cause problems?

Those two and nix-alien.

priapus, to linux in Does Nix's break from FHS cause problems?

A lot of features of the Nix package manager, such as having multiple versions of a package installed, don’t work with FHS.

Most apps work fine, apps that don’t get put in a FHS sandbox.

priapus, to linux in My move to wayland: it's finally ready

Use vesktop. Works great on Wayland and supports streaming with audio.

priapus, to linux in Why is Gnome fractional scaling 1.7518248558044434 instead of 1.75?

You’re right, they said the desktop shell, which is still incorrect, but I guess a little less incorrect. My bad.

priapus, to linux in COSMIC: The Road to Alpha

Incredibly excited to try it. I love the early support for Nix, I plan to run it as soon as a NixOS module becomes available!

Huge props to the design team here, the aesthetic looks amazing on all of the apps I’ve tried. They all feel consistent and look great.

You don’t get to decide what too much JS in the project is unless you actually work on and have in depth knowledge of the project. I dont like JS, but it has its uses.

Many people are conflating modern electron bloatware with ‘JS bad’, but things are not that simple.

That page also shows that there is more C. That page is also specifically the shell, not all of the desktop.

Using JavaScript isn’t inherently a bad thing. JavaScript can be very useful when used for scripting. Obviously anything with a new for performance will be done in C.

Closer to 50/50, and other parts of the GNOME desktop like mutter, are largely C. Saying the entire GNOME desktop is mostly JS is silly.

GNOME is primarily written in C

priapus, to linux in Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: a guide to using Nix flakes the non-flake way

Nix the package manager uses the Nix language, and NixOS is a distro built on top of it. They’re all part of the same topic, and the article was talking about that.

priapus, to linux in Happy new year of the Linux Desktop!

Stating problems you’ve had as if they are things that will effect everybody makes you looks very silly. I could do the same thing by stating that Windows is garbage because it doesn’t boot with rebar enabled and it bluescreens non stop. It’s also consistently slower to boot, open any software, and less responsive overall. The default file manager is also pathetic, and the software management is frustrating.

It sounds like you had some significant problems with your setup, but the way you’re describing it, it sounds like you didn’t properly troubleshoot it.

GNOME and Plasma both have great fractional scaling support with Wayland. I have never had whatever problems you’re describing with font rendering. On my machine it looks slightly better than windows, and slightly worse than MacOS. I used an Nvidia GPU with Linux for 4 years and never had any performance problems with the official driver.

Please realize your experience isn’t the be-all and end-all that decides whether using Linux can be a good experience.

Integer scaling works perfectly, even with legacy apps. Fractional scaling works great with native apps.
