Arch /Surface Users - What's working and what's not?
3 projects | /r/archlinux | 9 May 2023

Anyway, I'm just curious how other Arch/Surface users are faring. What have you tried that works, and what doesn't? I've seen mention that there are DEs, like paperde, which is designed for touch screen access, and I'm curious if they offer a better experience. Lastly, please feel free to share any tips/recommendations.

Has anyone ever been able to figure out how to actually install PaperDE?
2 projects | /r/archlinux | 28 Mar 2022

PaperDE It's a small project I've been interested in for a very long time. I don't know how usable it is yet, but I'd really like to try it out. But there is like zero documentation on this thing. There's the official installation guide, but well it's really not an installation guide at all. I did all these things and the best result I managed to get was manually initiating a wayfire session(?) that sort of uses PaperDE except it's completely broken. I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong, but well with no real documentation it's impossibly difficult to find out what. Anyone here managed to figure this out? Cause I'm completely lost.

Is it possible to add this feature?
1 project | /r/LXQt | 7 May 2023

You are probably using Openbox as a window manager which does not provide this feature.. Replace Openbox with Xfwm4 (window manager of Xfce) or Kwin (window manager of KDE Plasma). See: https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/ConfigWindowManagers
Problem with maximized window with two or more displays
1 project | /r/LXQt | 16 Apr 2023

I don't know your issue as I can't quite picture what you're describing sorry, but it does remind me of some issues with openbox (eg. https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/1704). Swapping out openbox as the WM will resolve the issue.

Why do popular distros treat any of their "KDE Editions" or flavours as second class citizens?
1 project | /r/linux | 17 Feb 2023

Yes, but also it relays on KDE, at least a little bit.

I found this LXQt wiki page, ConfigScreensavers, so I tried the provided suggestions:

Configuring lock_command should work. See more on https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/ConfigScreensavers.

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?

LXQt: I think they are working on it but not sure how far along they have gotten https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/10

What are some alternatives?

When comparing paper and lxqt you can also consider the following projects:

wayfire - A modular and extensible wayland compositor

docklike-plugin - A Dock-like Taskbar Plugin for XFCE

mutter - Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter

polybar-themes - A huge collection of polybar themes with different styles, colors and variants.

imgui - Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies

dash-to-panel - An icon taskbar for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications.
