inxi VS rofi

You also didn't share your hardware specs, so it's hard to figure out why that might be happening. Begin by installing the inxi tool and then run it in the terminal:

For more information about inxi and how to use it, open a terminal and enter inxi --help or man inxi. Or point your web browser to https://smxi.org/docs/inxi.htm.

Upon request, I can post inxi details of my laptop.

>> No, truly utilitarian websites look and function like this: https://smxi.org/docs/inxi.htm

To some extent, the majority determines what is utilitarian. Once Bootstrap achieved mass familiarity, it became utilitarian -- because almost everyone knows how to interact with it, the flow, the location of the information. The site you shared is indeed utilitarian, but it is also unfamiliar and hence makes it more difficult to find the required information at a glance.

INXI : [ https://github.com/smxi/inxi ]

The inxi script (https://github.com/smxi/inxi) can tell you this plus a ton of other stuff. Install inxi, and use something like this to run it and save the results:

You'll probably like rofi.

Also, I use this script so that Rofi will show my clipboard instead of the native klipper UI (because it's far less keyboard friendly). Normally the script works great, but the script chokes whenever I `dd` an empty line or a lone `\`, putting an empty entry on my clipboard, which the wrapper than assumes means I'm at the end of the list of clipboard entries.

Which rofi you run? The original one from https://github.com/davatorium/rofi (which is Xorg base, so it has to start XWayland) or the Wayland-based fork on https://github.com/lbonn/rofi?

OS: Arch Linux WM: Qtile Panel: Qtile bar Launcher: Rofi Notification Daemon: Dunst Terminal: Alacritty Shell: Zsh Compositor: Picom File Manager: Nemo Music Player: Spotify & ncmpcpp

I like rofi (super flexible, i also use it as a custom alt-tab option in openbox) and wofi is a nice option on wayland

Modi are covered in the documentation. They set what Rofi displays in its window. You can run Rofi from a keybind, or a module in Polybar, or by using click handlers. Extremely extensible and versatile. And a shit ton of fun to theme. :)

xwinmosaic: Having tried XMonad.Actions.GridSelect in the past, I found the 2-dimensional grid more confusing than useful because you cannot intuit where it would lay things out. I find Rofi to be more usable for window switching because it prioritizes text filtering. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi
