Started with Sway to ease the migration, but just this week - after a few months of Waylanding - I decided to try Hyprland to see what’s all the hype (hyp?) is about. I didn’t like it - it was pretty, yes, but it felt sluggish and the multi-monitor support has some deal-breaking issues.
So I looked at other alternatives, and found Niri. I fell in love. It has both eye-candy and performance, and the combination of tiling and sliding is pure genius.
No. It’s Kekken, of course.
My point is - why go backward? You already have your Sway[1] based setup, configured just the way you like it, with the ability to switch various components in and out. What does a monolithic[2] environment like KDE have to offer you?
Assuming it’s Sway and not i3 because I assume you have already switched to Wayland. You switched to Wayland, right? You need to switch to Wayland. Why are you not switching to Wayland? ↩︎
, Yes, you can tweak KDE, but since all the various parts were created to fit together switching one will always result in awkward UX. ↩︎
You don’t need C:\. All your data should be in the 365 cloud anyway. Storing files locally in C:\ leads to antipatterns like not paying Microsoft for 365 access (a.k.a “Software Piracy”)
Used to be, but then I moved to Wayland.
At least I know what your least favorite fighting game franchise is.
Just discovered that thing myself a couple of days ago, after getting disappointed from Hyprland’s handling of multi-monitor setups.
It’s kind of funny how eagerly we programmers criticize “premature optimization”, when often optimization is not premature at all but truly necessary.
I will forever be salty about that one time I blamed of premature optimization for pushing to optimize a code that was allocating memory faster than the GC could free it, which was causing one of the production servers to keep getting OOM crashes.
If urgent emails from one of the big clients who put the entire company into emergency mode during a holiday is still considered “premature”, then no optimization is ever going to be mature.
“More AI features”? Of course we can implement more AI features for you.
Exactly the mindset responsible for the state of modern software.
Thought leaders spent the last couple of decades propaganding that features-per-week is the only metric to optimize, and that if your software has any bit of efficiency or quality in it that’s a clear indicator for a lost opportunity to sacrifice it on the alter of code churning.
The result is not “amazing”. I’d be more amazed had it turned out differently.
First it’s like 30GB, what the hell??
Just be grateful it’s SSD and not RAM.
Floridaman is not making any excuses here. He can’t. Because he’s dead.
I’m willing to recommend Windows 10 to someone who considers “upgrading” to Windows 11.
How else am I supposed to exit Vim?
While your use case may not suffer from the problem depicted in the post[1], I don’t think it’s worth weakening the proposed etiquette for. If having a system that can reduce the generated garbage a person can inflict upon another means slightly-worse worded texts - that’s a price I’m willing to pay.
It does exhibit other generative AI issues - like the environmental impact or like how it makes you reliant on companies just waiting to start enshittifing the field - it does not suffer from the issue of forcing humans to read meaningless slop that no one bothered to write. ↩︎
It’s kind of new (version 0.1.0 was released two years ago)
The mental model is a bit different, but I got used to it quite quickly. Configuration-wise, no matter which WM you pick the migration from X11 to Wayland will be the bulk of the work.
