dwl VS sway

Patching autostart:

If any of you have attempted to use SteamVR with DWL then you probably ran into the same issue I did. It doesn't have support for DRM leasing, so it can't actually show an image on the headset.

DWL

Have you checked DWL which is DWM for Wayland? I haven't tried it yet so I can't say anything more.

There's a python script called stacki3 that works both on i3wm and sway. There is also a dwm clone for wayland called dwl.

I currently use dwl which is much, much lighter than i3 and suits my needs. On my laptop I just don't have a window manager of any kind installed, I can get by with lynx and the TTY.

I wanted to try two wayland compositors out (specifically dwl and river) and cannot for the life of me seem to get it working properly. I am currently doing this inside a VirtualBox vm.

> basically no good if you're any different from the people who hacked it together.

Why would you expect it any different? How can one implement things that they have no need or no hardware for? The entitlement is a bit jarring.

Also I think they merged something last year: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/7681

I am currently using uair integrated in to my Waybar running on my sway window manager. I use it similar to the way I use watson (both as a CLI tool with Waybar integrations), so it is a good fit for me.

It used to be called `-my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia `

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.
