nwg-shell VS i3-and-kde-plasma

nwg-shell

Release notes

Could you please report directly on this thread? I don't do packaging for Fedora. There are two packagers, and I'm not sure if they did any progress lately.

Since this is your first foray into this world I’d suggest you look into nwg-shell. It’s a sway (and hyprland) based WM that brings some of the niceties of a desktop over to this WM world for you. It comes complete with a gui for setting all the configs, and 4 desktop options, plus the ability to change it to your hearts content. There’s a dock, an app drawer, wallpaper app, and tons of things to tinker with. It’s written in Go and Python and you can change pretty much anything however you want.

This could be consider in the future. Please open a thread in Discussions before you submit a PR.

See: https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-shell/discussions/58

I would suggest the nwg-shell project

In case I might be of help in some way during packaging, just let me know, preferably through Discussions.

Take a look at this https://github.com/heckelson/i3-and-kde-plasma

I used this guide to get i3 and Plasma to play nice with each other: https://github.com/heckelson/i3-and-kde-plasma

For the reference I follows this guide (https://github.com/heckelson/i3-and-kde-plasma) but there's no mention of possibile errors.

I am using plasma primarily and decided to install i3. Then I followed the instructions from https://github.com/heckelson/i3-and-kde-plasma then decided that the did not work. I deleted the .system file and yay -R i3 but the option still wasn't removed from my login screen. Theres no i3 anymore but my i3 with Plasma option is still there

Reddit KDE GitHub ... I don't think you tried hard enough. :)

I feel like a heroin dealer now, but seriously; getting past the initial hump for TWMs is so worth it, and i3 + plasma is reportedly a great combination. The best of both worlds. i3 now has mouse drag rearrangement also, which is a game changer.
