AwesomeWM Is Too Comfy Of A Window Manager

[@juryrigging]

Window gaps are not useless. For some people the extra space is a visual/cognitive necessity. Granted, this isn't everyone, and probably not most, but for some it really does help make sense of what's on the screen.

[@BrodieRobertson]

That's fair but for most it's the visual flair

Qtile is like Awesome but also has a wayland compositor, just as comfortable and very extensible/customizable

[@10cadr]

i am trying to switch awesome for qtile. Qtile documentation is nowhere near to awesome. In the other hand, qtile feels more fluid on my system. Or maybe I didn't add enough custom functions to qtile to make it slow

[@zizouhuweidi]

@@10cadr the Qtile docs are actually quite clean once you understand them, what I would do is look at other people's configs to see certain implementions and that gave me a direction of how certain things in the docs work and I've seen that they're planning to add more examples in the documentation, I don't find Awesome's docs to be much better tbh. My first WM was awesome and tbf it was awesome, it wasn't lacking in anything I needed and I loved it but configuring it was such a task. The concepts in Qtile are clear and while Qtile isn't lacking in any features, it's more minimal and lighter. It's just as comfortable as Awesome with the built-in widgets and vast layouts, also the devs are responsive and always working on improving it, hence the wayland backend being implemented. I just find it having a lot of the positives of other WMs without lacking anything in particular. Python can be annoying with the indentation and commas at times, but that's my only criticism tbh.

I'd really enjoy seeing you use wayland, especially because of your i3 background so you're able to compare the two.

[@LycanEnforcer]

If you really want to challenge yourself, try using EXWM instead. Not only do you need to learn elisp, you also have to work around your entire desktop environment being single threaded.

[@LycanEnforcer]

@@haidermirza192 It's not really supposed to be good. It's just supposed to be usable, because someone decided to take the joke about Emacs being a WM and make it real.

[@SkyyySi]

Awesome is configured in Lua, which is also single threaded. The only co-processing it supports is running system commands.

[@AminD0]

I tried out sway it works really good no issues so far. The defaults are a little better than i3. The only downside for me personally is apprarance: - not having an option for blurred transparency - fading effect

[@SplittingField]

The one thing that keeps me on i3 is the various container layouts. In particular having a main window open on one half of my screen and having the other half as a stack/tabbed layout of multiple windows. Also, you might enjoy lain widgets for awesomewm.

[@AnalyticMinded]

That's exactly my kind of layout! Super efficient. :)

[@ChaiBronz]

Same, thought i was a dynamic tiler guy until I got the hang of i3 containers and tabbed layout. Manual tilers actually give you way more flexibility, and now I find dynamics feel too restrictive.

@@tokiomutex4148 I think someone should port dwm to wayland!

[@tokiomutex4148]

@@mario7501 There is a port called dwl. I don't like dwm's release model where you have to patch it manually to get the functionality you need(you're basically merging a some feature branches and solving the conflicts in a repetitive process which is not a good idea). I believe all the features of dwm developed by users should live in its main branch (which means they should work together) and the users can be provided the option of including them at compile time which should be straightforward but this is very unlikely to happen because it goes against the suckless(actually sucksmore) philosophy which tells you to sacrifice everything (including quality) in order to get fewer lines of code and the irony is that they usually write stuff in C which will result in more lines of code than many other languages due to lack of abstraction.

[@mario7501]

@@tokiomutex4148 I agree. I like the way I have configured dwm currently. But what you mention is an absolute nightmare indeed. I've tried making the systray patch work with the alpha patch and failed multiple times. Then I have tried writing my own alpha patch and deciphering their undocumented code is just an absolute nightmare. I think the fact that it's written in C is good cause it's a lot more accessible than say C++ or Rust and a lot faster than something like Python. But the fact that you have to piece together what every function in their stupid codebase does yourself is the most stupid thing ever. They could at least give functions more descriptive names!

[@lieftheshinigami]

I absolutely LOVE Sway. I use it on my macbook because for some reason Wayland feels so much smoother, and I'm assuming it has to do with the DPI of the screen. It feels so much better than any WM on that machine i've tried at this point. I can't comment on OBS, because I don't ever need screen capture on a laptop, but I did have problems with electron apps initially, but after a bit of tinkering, it's awesome and works well

[@okaar]

I would recommend river wm its a way better experience for Wayland seeing as its dynamic.

[@xGshikamaru]

I've had the same awesome config for over a decade now with vicious widgets, I just need nothing else but if something similar works with Wayland I would be very interested in trying it. Back then the config file format often needed to be rewritten when new versions of awesome came out but now it has been stable for a very long time. I've used i3 in the past but the static part of it is something I don't really like a lot these days, I actually have dynamic tags in awesome with tyrannical, so I'd love something like that that works on Wayland, with a scripting language like lua to extend the wm functionality (it could be something else but lua is just lightweight I don't see anything being remotely as efficient)

Sway works the best out of all the compositors in Wayland. Alot of components from X worked fine the last time I have used it. You got me thinking. I should see how it all works in BSD world since I've used that for some time now. I've tried the other compositors with Wayland and nothing is as stable as Sway. For me a solid system is what you choose for your init system and shell. runit or the BSD init system is the best. Also The Korn Shell is what I prefer. I like all versions but use MKSH. Out of X, the window managers I prefer are DWM, IceWM and Emwm. To me the most solid desktop evironments are xfce and kde. Only thing we have in common is our love for Alacritty lol. There's many choices with software none of us will never be completely satisfied.

My favorites are Dwm, Bspwm, Spectrwm and tried many others like i3wm, sway, qtile, xmonad, awesome. I really didn't like the last two, because of their language. especially haskell. But i always find myself going back to Dwm, it's the simplest for me to understand (i don't even use any patches, i like it bare bones) I cannot wrap my head around the others WMs as much. with Dwm, you don't need to configure a bar, you don't need sxhkd, you don't need a seperate config file. you can just download and compile it along with st and dmenu. then you are done.

@@asbjo Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (6 Cores, 12 Threads @ 3.6 GHz) GPU: AMD XFX Radeon RX 580 (8 GB) RAM: 32 GB Software: OS: Arch Linux Kernel: linux-zen GPU Drivers: amdgpu module, using mesa radv (vulkan-radeon) by default, with amdvlk and amdgpu-pro being selectable as vulkan icds. Compositor: Sway Note: OBS is run with the Vulkan ICD set to AMDGPU-pro. The reason is that this allows for the AMD AMF encoder to be usable. When recording, either the framerate tends to *appear* significantly lower than what is displayed, similar to if a compositor is enabled on Xorg, and/or the mouse cursor movement becomes severely delayed and jumpy. Sometimes this input lag happens when not recording as well. *This does not happen on GNOME, only Plasma and wlroots compositors.*

Referring to that thing at the end with pipewire. Before you actually go and use it without pulseaudio, make real hardware system and actually try using it.

First of all there is very little documentation, I found myself where some programs like zoom and firefox based browser worked just fine but some programs like discord, steam and all games from steam, ms teams just didn't work, also zoom for some reason was the only program that had sound recording working. Another issue is that as of now, pretty much everyone is using it on top of already installed pulseaudio, so good luck trying to pactl or pavucontrol, or trying to find people that also had problems with it. I don't know whether it was some kind of my mistake, but I did everything according documentation and it just was shit. In the end, I removed it, emerge -a pulseaudio, and everything just werks.
