Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
I really want https://material-shell.com/ for MacOS
it was perfect for using a single monitor
kinda like a deterministic alt+tab, you set up the layout of "workspaces" and they're always in the same place
I keep getting annoyed at alt+tab because I accidentally clicked on another window and now the order is messed up

Kera Desktop: A brand-new desktop environment in the development
I'm confused. How does that work? Is it like a GNOME extension or something; similar to how Material Shell works?

How many of you use your gnu/linux distro without much customization?
I don't know too much about that. You can achieve a lot with gnome extensions. And if you'd like to build your own and see what's possible, check out the source code of Material Shell

I'm a tiling WM user but the concept of the scrolling window managers were new to me. This idea might be experimental but using it was fun. If you want to try it, CardBoard is a good start. I had fun using it for a couple of days and thought it's good to share it with you too.

An easy-to-learn Linux Window Manager
But you might want to try out Gnome first, with one of the many tiling extensions, or perhaps Material Shell for a Tiling like WM experience

Considering Switching from Pop_OS!
Has anyone used Material Shell? It looks like it will do the tiling for me.

Can't install Gnome Shell Extensions
Hi, I'm working on Ubuntu 22.04.1 with Gnome 42.5. I used to be able to install shell extensions just fine with the Chrome extension. However (I think since (un)installing the Material Shell Extension), I can't install any extension anymore, not via the Chrome extension, not via the terminal (`gnome-extensions install -f ...`). In the browser, the switch is available and clickable, but nothing simply happens. Via the terminal, no feedback at all is given. When going over the [source code](https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell) of the material shell, it seems that it tampers with some extensions and God knows what else... Via `dconf` I had to enable the allowance of extensions (`disable-user-extensions`), also something Material Shell probably did. I uninstalled Material Shell according to the docs, but of course, not everything is undone...

Do you use a desktop environment like Kde or Gnome, or do you use a standalone window manager like i3 or awesome?
was using awesome wm with a theme(https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/titus-awesome credit to Chris Titus on youtube : ) ), really enjoyed it and worked like a charm for me, but I wanted a little change so I changed to gnome with an extension to make it feel more like what I was using before(https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell ).

I guess I am an Arch user now
I was eyeing awesomeWM if I am honest. I like Chris Titus' setup (https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/titus-awesome) so I will try playing with that instead at some point. I am doing everything in incremental steps, btrfs-ing my way into Archdom.

Error when running Xrandr script on startup.
I am just getting in to awesomeWM. I followed Chris Titus' guide to clone his config from his github repo. So far all I have done is change an icon and the startup apps. When I added my xrandr script (I used arandr to create it) I always get an error that says
