dwm-flexipatch VS nixos-hardware

However, if I were to implement something like 15+ patches then i would just use flexi patch to quickly apply patches - https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch.

I posted an issue with flexipatch's savefloats patch https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/issues/362 which I believe to be a bug in the way the patch is supposed to handle layout switching.

Check out dwm-flexipatch!

And if you want a quick way to install patches then you should checkout u/bakkeby 's https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch.

do yourself a favor and use https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch ... patching with much less trouble

and i would recommend to use dwm-flexipatch, it makes the hole patching process very easy, and you can try out all the patches...

I just wanted to add that if anyone is experiencing this issue and using dwm-flexipatch then enabling the patch BAR_NO_COLOR_EMOJI_PATCH may solve the issue.

if your not scared of changing basic C files the most lightweight you’ll get is probably dwm, try out this to more easily patch dwm if you do decide to use it.

a lot of functionality can be added with patches, but you have to try and juggle those all yourself (and work out any conflicts between them yourself) - there are some projects like dwm-flexipatch to try and make it easier to deal with them, but it's way more trouble than I am interested in

Always useful to look at the seemingly endless stream of Linux information, the Arch wiki:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_ROG_Zephyrus_G14_(2022...

Also NixOS has a nixos-hardware repository with configurations for some laptops:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/tree/master/asus/zep...

Reasonably legible if you ever programmed anything

{ imports = [ # Include the results of the hardware scan. ./hardware-configuration.nix # Additional hardware specific configuration # https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware ];

You could try this repo for hardware support on various laptops if yours is on it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

Btw, for starters, I think you can learn a lot by checking other's configurations and from things like https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware. There are a lot of useful/essential configurations that are not enabled by default.

in that case do note that this module assumes you use nixos-hardware, otherwise you can remove lines 161-165. I can also send you my VM's libvirtd .xml file when you get around to creating it.

My computer is a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with a dual GPU setup (AMD iGPU + Nvidia DGPU) where I'm using a "hybrid mode" configuration provided by nixos-hardware, using PRIME offload.

Not too long ago nixos-hardware changed the default Xorg driver for AMD to modesetting from amdgpu.
