How to install on Ubuntu: my solution
#!/bin/bash # last updated July 4, 2023... “We will not go quietly into the night..."" # Update system sudo apt-get update # Install core dependencies sudo apt-get install -y python3-cffi libpangocairo-1.0-0 --reinstall # Install xcffib with pip # pinning to this version since newer versions don't have ffi_build (I think renamed to just ffi): # https://github.com/tych0/xcffib/tree/v0.12.1/module pip3 install xcffib==0.12.1 # Install cairocffi with pip # The order of xcffib and cairocffi is important and the flags are important: # https://github.com/qtile/qtile/issues/994#issuecomment-497984551 pip3 install --no-cache-dir --no-build-isolation cairocffi==1.4.0 # Install Qtile pip3 install qtile==0.22.1 --force-reinstall # Create a desktop entry for Qtile echo "[Desktop Entry] Name=Qtile Comment=Qtile Session Exec=qtile start Type=Application Keywords=wm;tiling" | sudo tee /usr/share/xsessions/qtile.desktop echo "Qtile installation completed successfully. You can select Qtile from your session manager."
Btw. if you're installing from pip anyway, I HIGHLY recommend using git master's version (pip install git+https://github.com/qtile/qtile). It's very stable and it contains a lot of improvements, features and - mostly important - bug fixes, especially because the fact that the last 0.22.1 release is almost one year old. The current master works fine with xcffib 1.4 and cairocffi 1.6 (the newest possible versions).

What are some ways you used Python to make YOUR life easier?
I have created full on programs to systematically created screenshots with the game emulators with RetroArch. Also an automation tool to use a preexisting program named chdman that converts files into a needed format (also unpacking from archives). A little Python script to create a recents list of files for Vimwiki. I also created a program to access 🌈 emojis 🌈. I wrote my own GE Proton downloader and manager. Hell even the window manager I am using on Linux is written and configured in Python, Qtile. I wrote one or two plugins for it and the entire configuration is written in Python, meaning I can use functions, modules and every logic of Python to enhance it. It's Awesome.

Garuda qtile wayland edition black screen issue
Hi, the failed XWayland startup isn't being handled correctly. I posted a fix here: https://github.com/qtile/qtile/pull/3928. Would you be able to test it out and see if it fixes the issue? It will catch the RuntimeError, but maybe the SIGSEGV will happen anyway.
Yes exactly, those changes shown on https://github.com/qtile/qtile/pull/3928/files

Simple python script to show Qtile keybinding.
I wonder if it works with key chords? (currently not testing) I am working too on some keybinding lister for my key chords only. And BTW there is also from Qtile itself: Keybindings in images / src, just in case one has overlooked it. But it does not work with key chords either.

Emacs as terminal multiplexer: Speed
I am experiencing this very weird, Qtile issue https://github.com/qtile/qtile/issues/3276 so I need to kill Qtile probably once a week. If it was any other DE/WM, I would have ditched it a long time ago, but Qtile has a special place in my heart :-)

SSL certification for https://www.qtile.org/ has expired
Mmm, qtile's official website is not in the "https" scheme, it's http://www.qtile.org/ (see search engine results or https://github.com/qtile/qtile).

Help!
I'd strongly recommend you spend some time reading our docs and the default config to see how to configure qtile.

Master and Stack setup
There's a python script called stacki3 that works both on i3wm and sway. There is also a dwm clone for wayland called dwl.

I actually use linux because its objectively better
I currently use dwl which is much, much lighter than i3 and suits my needs. On my laptop I just don't have a window manager of any kind installed, I can get by with lynx and the TTY.

Help needed with Wayland (riverwm and dwl) on Void Linux
I wanted to try two wayland compositors out (specifically dwl and river) and cannot for the life of me seem to get it working properly. I am currently doing this inside a VirtualBox vm.

Vote for which of the tiling window managers I should install on my system
If you want to surf the wave of future and use Wayland, then Dwm isn't possible. There's DWL but I never tried it. https://github.com/djpohly/dwl

Why use wayland over x11?
Well once its "finished" (all problems with screenshare and so on finally resolved) im thinking of switching from dwm to dwl

My Quest for the Perfect Window Manager
awesomewm is more-or-less dwm with a lua interpreter and a config loader bolted on. someone has already made dwl, a wayland port of dwm: https://github.com/djpohly/dwl
the codebase is very similar to dwm. some dwm patches can even be applied directly.
i think the 'difficult' work has already been done.
