Picom blur background isn't working, help!
What distro? My pref is for Jonaburg's fork. Ibhagwan is out of date. Pijulius more so. Yshui doesn't have animation.

My Arch linux desktop configuration
This configuration uses Qtile extra package and one of my favourite picom fork for minimalistic look with rounded-corners

Does awesome dont support Translucent windows?
As others have said, Awesome doesn't ship with a compositor so you need one yourself. My choice is jonaburg's picom fork for the extra included features, but regular picom will do the job.

Best picom fork?
picom-jonaburg has rounded corners and animations. Window gaps are controlled by your window manager, compositors can't interact with them.

Can't remove rounded corners from evince
Offtopic: I know you didn't ask this, but I just saw the fork you are using was updated the last time in 2020: https://github.com/jonaburg/picom/tags . The current version of the original https://github.com/yshui/picom/releases got updated this year (2 years more development!). Unless you are using features that is only available in that fork, I would try the mainline, which also got some of these features too, in example support for rounding corners. So maybe this newer version works better.

How to exclude Qtile Bar from background-blur in picom
I am using Qtile (on a Laptop running Ubuntu 20.04), with jonaburg-picom, which is blurring my Qtile bar since some parts of it are configured to be transparent. How do I get rid of that blur, can someone help me with this?

Picom blur & transparency?
This is how I do it with awesomeWM on EndeavourOS. Maybe this will help you. I'm using picom-jonaburg-git.

Ly display manager issues!
After building & installing ly demonstrate manager (https://github.com/nullgemm/ly) i can'tseem to start it as there is no entry in /etc/sv to start. I then came across this: https://github.com/drozdowsky/ly-void. A build of ly that supports runit & sure enough it has a service to start however when i restart my pc and ly display manager starts, even with the right credentials it does not log in, only turning off my monitor for a moment then booting back into the display manager screen. This is the case for starting my window manager, starting my .xinitrc however it can successfully start the shell. Any help would be greatly appreciated to either start the official build, or to correct the modified one.

Bloated base install?
I definitely know what you mean; I used to use ly (and haven't been able to figure out how to write a package/service for it, yet) and would love to use that, again.

Display Managers and TTY
Yes, actually! Ly is a console-based display manager that allows you to select your login target between any of the standard sessions (KDEs, GNOMEs, and what have you), explicit launching of .xinitrc, or just dropping straight into terminal.

Which DE do you prefer?
What DM are you using? I tried to compile both ly-void and normal ly according to this guide.
