exwm VS nyxt

The developer has been missing on GitHub since 2020 [1]

There have been tiling window managers based around Emacs before. I think the most recent I tried was https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm -- in this case the window manager is itself emacs, and your windows are buffers in emacs etc.

It makes a lot of sense, since Emacs does its own tiling, and one is usually familiar with the keystrokes already, and then you don't have tiling in tiling.

So I keep meaning to go back and try this again, or something similar, but I recall it having issues with a lot of my commonly used applications back when I tried it.

When I get in the tiling mood, I use regolith, which is a nice packaging up of i3 in with the gnome environment. I'd love to have something like that, but built around emacs.

The tools I use for living inside Emacs are: - EXWM as window manager https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm - mew for e-mail https://www.mew.org/en/ - org-mode for calendar and todo-list https://orgmode.org/ - terminology as shell/terminal (before it was xterm, but wanted transparency) https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md - elfeed as rss-reader https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed - hackernews for Hackernews-reader https://github.com/clarete/hackernews.el - browser eww and Firefox - pdf-tools for viewing pdfs and in mew they are converted to text view

I do the following things in Emacs: window management, window management, file management, web browsing, mail, streaming music, chatting, shell management, version control, and life organization.

WM: EXWM Emacs X Window Manager

In the case of Arch you could take a look at https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm

EXWM is a full-blown tiling window manager for X11 that runs in Emacs. I've been using it for years. It's kind of difficult to get going, but I'd never switch back now.

Suddenly, I have that uniformity and consistent experience everywhere, and only a single configuration language to learn and use to get things how I like them.

If you like both emacs and tiling window managers, I strongly recommend it.

If someone invents another browser, Nyxt will be ready to wrap it with Common Lisp: https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt

I can't reproduce the bug report on flatpak. Bug reports should be reported at https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/issues/new/choose.

For innovative new browsers, there's Nyxt: https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/

Both are looking for funding and sponsors.

good idea. I know there are some plans for this underway.... looks like just planning phase right now. https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/issues/3095

I am not a hopeful romantic, but the EU has been investing on vendor neutral web-browsers like Nyxt [0] and the UR Browser [1] through the Horizon Europe program. I doubt that legislators (at least in the EU) will view this as a positive development, assuming EU legislators know what they are doing. On the other hand, lobbying by big tech is still very much a threat.

There are some keyboard centered browsers like Qutebrowser or Nyxt. For Firefox as well as for Chrome based browsers there exist several extensions to implement vim-like keybindings.

Am I correct that this is not fixed until this issue is closed (I tried building from source the 3.3.0 release and master branch but both have the exact same issue)?
