Exquisite VS sway

If it matters, the script is https://store.kde.org/p/1852610/ / https://github.com/qewer33/Exquisite.

Would recommend this https://github.com/qewer33/Exquisite

I tried two tiling tools, Exquisite and Bismuth, but neither seems to be right for me. Mainly because they don't seem to work well on two screens.

Not sure if you know Exquisite, it has a layout switch and work with modifier keys. https://github.com/qewer33/Exquisite

Do you mean something like Fancyzones? If so, have you checked this out? Combined with this would be what you meant, right?

ThereIs Exquisite , but it's still in beta

This looks cool! Perhaps you could combine efforts with Exquisite to support arbitrary layouts?

For a tiling assistant window, you can use Exquisite, and for a more full auto-tiling experience you can use Bismuth, as others have suggested.

This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.

I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway

From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
