xmonad VS nixos-config

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.

Especially Haskell tools often live in proximity to nix as well, e.g., pandoc or xmonad.

Hey everyone 👋 ! 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:

Daily, because xmonad

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.

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.

The tl;dr is that this is a bug in steam, see https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/423

And here is my Xmonad configuration

I'm trying to setup NixOS with xmonad flake (something similar to this https://github.com/alternateved/nixos-config). When I try to rebuild my system, I get this error message (I got the same message when trying to build above mentioned config).

Not sure if this looks good, but I like how it works, therefore might be of interest: https://github.com/alternateved/nixos-config

I mainly use XMonad.Prompt module for session management (or whatever you would call that). I have session commands defined across those files and I use XMonad.Prompt.DirExec module to create a prompt which executes those scripts with [this line](https://github.com/alternateved/nixos-config/blob/f781c6006cd50e3e4becaa05572ccba5313f12df/config/xmonad/xmonad.hs#L279]

Feel free to peruse my config.

This is how I set my sway up. I am afraid this configuration might be a bit convoluted - I also use flakes and home-manager module.

Would you mind checking my sway configuration in nix and comparing it with yours?

I did not experience much tearing with my setup, you might check my configuration (picom part or intel one). Maybe it will be helpful anyhow.

I've set up my xmonad and xmobar as a cabal project. Here you could see xmonad and xmobar overrides. I build alternateved-xmonad binary from this directory and install it from here.

You could try switching to EZConfig and set your keybindings differently. I have that setup in my config, I find it much more readable. You would need to import XMonad.Util.EZConfig module.
