Installing Xmonad on Arch
The official guide and the archwiki do say that it's okay to just install it via pacman, but I've also found some issues on the official repo that strongly suggest against installing via pacman and to use stack instead, as sometimes pacman breaks dependencies.

Is it just me or it nix becoming more common
Especially Haskell tools often live in proximity to nix as well, e.g., pandoc or xmonad.

[Media] shrs: a shell that is configurable and extensible in rust
Hey everyone đź‘‹ ! I'm currently working on a rust library for building and configuring your own shell! It's inspired by projects like xmonad and penrose where the configuration of the program is done in code. This means that for example, instead of using Bash's arcane syntax for configuring the prompt, it can be configured instead using a rust builder pattern! The project itself is still at a very young stage, so there are plenty of bugs and unimplemented features. However, some things that are (partially) implemented are:

MultiToggle is toggling layout on all workspaces when using WorkspaceCursors
If the problem is as described in the reply linked below, then this isn't a fundamental issue, but just a matter of how sendMessage is written. In fact, the fix already exists in xmonad/432:2fff2a0.

What LaTeX setup do you use?
There are a few other things I could mention, but there are more like side issues, and not relevant to my actual LaTeX setup. First and foremost—and thus perhaps noteworthy after all—is bibliography management with arxiv-citation (see here for more words). This is integrated very well with the XMonad window manager, which makes it even more of a joy to use.

Wayland breaks your bad software
I've been wanting to try http://hyprland.org/, but since plasma gets me far enough and provides a working taskbar (wifi, sound, bluetooth, mount, clipboard) and virtual desktops on which I end up opening just firefox and emacs I haven't really given it a chance.

Hyprland Crash Course
Hyprland builds using a pinned commit of wlroots instead of a tagged release because wlroots release schedule is too slow for Hyprland's development [0]
This turns into a problem for maintainers because many distributions refuse to ship non tagged versions of software
Hyprland used to depend on wlroots-git, but when it made the switch to use specific pinned commits a lot more distributions started to package it [1], but some still refuse to do so such as Debian.

Improving cursor rendering on Wayland
I have Hyprland a try some weeks/months ago, and seemingly it had a video memory leak where after some hours of usage, it ended up taking more than 5GB of VRAM, with no signs of slowing down.
I found one issue (https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1504) mentioning something similar, but it was closed and I was still experiencing the same issue, so not sure what's going on.
Gnome3 doesn't manifest the same issue, so worth checking out if it happens to you if you're curious about moving from Gnome to Hyprland.

RubyWM – an X11 window manager in pure Ruby
I've been an X11 holdout since forever, but after nvidia proprietary drivers broke for the millionth time on a system upgrade, I switched over to Nouveau and the "Hyprland" tiling compositor on Wayland. It's the only setup that felt worth the upgrade to me. Setup was easy, animations are very slick (scroll down on the link below for a sample), and I've had no bugs or quirks. Highly recommend checking it out if you're bored or curious.

Is there any transparent themes for GTK 2 or QT?
I did some research as far as I know there isn't really a way for it to have a transparent window but not transparent text although I found this, basically change the opacity of the window/program. You can also set active and inactive opacity on the window if that's any help.

Regular package vs git package
Therefore I am considering switching to hyprland-nvidia-git, but when I look at its AUR page (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hyprland-nvidia-git) it says 0.31 as the version, whereas the latest version is 0.32 (https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/releases). I thought the git package would be cutting edge "automatically", but perhaps I'm missing something...?
