qtile VS sway

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).

Yes, all the dependencies listed in qtile.org are installed.

I think yesterday qtile.org itself seemed to be working properly. Now it is also offline.

Did you see the changelog? https://github.com/qtile/qtile/blob/master/CHANGELOG

You need to have xcffib in version 1.3.0 and you probably have 1.4.0. You also need cairocffi 1.5.1 and you probably have 1.6.0, so it will fail as the next step. Install correct versions or wait until https://github.com/qtile/qtile/pull/4289 is merged.

Meanwhile users can still communicate and ask questions in the official Github discussion board: https://github.com/qtile/qtile/discussions or alternatively in IRC irc://irc.oftc.net:6667/qtile during the blackout time period.

Hello 👋, I use Gnome for my ThinkPad it works nice for me. But giving your ram I would suggest a window manager like Qtile which I prefer and I am about move from Gnome to it when I finish my configurations. But if you want something which will be usable out of the box Xfce is a nice choice too as people mentioned above. 😁😁 Here is the link to GitHub for Qtile if you want to give it a glance https://github.com/qtile/qtile

> basically no good if you're any different from the people who hacked it together.

Why would you expect it any different? How can one implement things that they have no need or no hardware for? The entitlement is a bit jarring.

Also I think they merged something last year: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/7681

I am currently using uair integrated in to my Waybar running on my sway window manager. I use it similar to the way I use watson (both as a CLI tool with Waybar integrations), so it is a good fit for me.

It used to be called `-my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia `

This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.
