I’d love to catch one of these streams. The part where you were asking for suggestions on what to change about in dwm, I would have had a lot of fun participating in. I gave the twitch a follow and hopefully can catch it live sometime. I think one thing I’d love to see in a tiling window manager, that I’ve never seen before is this: say you have your master-and-stack layout, and using your chatterino as an example: I’d like to be able to define certain applications so that even if they were the only thing open on the workspace, they would open in the stack part of the master-and-stack, leaving the master area of the screen empty (shocking I know!). Then if you were to open another app on that workspace, it would seamlessly slot into the master tile. So for your chatterino, even if it was the only application open, it would be on the right side and not stretched out. Then if you opened firefox, chatterino would stay where it is and firefox would occupy the master tile (which was blank before). My reason for this is because there are certain apps I just hate the look of being full screen, but I’ve never seen a tiling window manger intentionally leave tiles blank. I’ve heard of pseudo tiles, but they haven’t behaved quite in the way I’d like.

Since more comments helps you with the algorithm I'm asking my second question as a separate comment. I purchased the offline winutil tool and I wanted to know if that gets updated periodically and when I should check back for updates. Thank you Chris! Have a great weekend!

[@sfa8472]

Chris, small suggestion for your wintool, can you change "get installed" to "show installed" , makes much more sense. btw love the tool.

20:40 My favorite is MPV. ^^

[@portersmith1876]

As far as the Distribution debate I've always preferred the Debian based Distributions such as the Ubuntu family however I've also used the forks of Arch Linux re spins I've always perfected Manjaro or Artix.

1:27:36 Being a partial Coder(VB5/6, HTML, PHP, MySQL, C) It's refreshing to watch

@2:37:08 Self satisfaction others will not understand nor can they comprehend.

[@chuck-snow]

Yubikey and Kensington Verimark Biometric for hardware security excellent combo that works very well and pair that whit Bitwarden..

[@SlyEcho]

2:23:07 well, I suppose you could add a hotkey that does exec(argv[0]) or something like that. Or just test it in a nested X display with something like Xephyr (or even Xwayland) without having to restart your session every time.

Hi titus I wonder how your theme work on system wide(sudo based applications) , mine just work only on file manager and web broswer like non sudo application

[@mrbc2004]

Have you guys tried chadwm? It's great, it's dwm but on steroids :)

[@marioschroers7318]

I realized that Wayland/Hyprland comes with insufferable effects on Nvidia. I'm now up to refine my setup with a patched Picom for similar effects and will reconfigure and update my builds of dwm, dmenu, and st. It's a proven setup for me, and I decided to stay with X11 at this point.

[@peterjansen4826]

Chris, I recommend you to not read that diff text from the patch in the browser but instead copypaste it into vim or geany or whatever, it makes it much easier to read it thanks to the syntax highlighting.

[@HankJones-yk1zw]

Once I have dwm installed and configured, how do I remove KDE plasma and everything that came with it on Debian?

[@justisstudding2101]

@17:45 You really should think about upping your Windows VM Ram from 16 Gib to 24 Gib. Especially if you're going to run games on it. Majority of the recent games will take up 16 Gib+ if not more alone. Limiting yourself could result in FPS fall off. But, you know more then I do.

[@justisstudding2101]

I run Win10 Pro on a Ryzen 9 5950X, Asus 6650 XT, 32 Gib 3600Mhz with your Script. Palworld alone takes up 14.5 Gib - 16.9 Gib. I Feel 24-32 Gib of Ram should be a standard. Sure, you can run with 16 Gib. But, are you running it Efficiently?

[@justisstudding2101]

I'm waiting on my new arrival. Intel Xeon E5-2699 V4, K6000, 64 Gib 2666Mhz for my New Nas. Replacing my older Xeon E5 2680 0. Your Xeon W5-3435x is impressive.

[@detonautarj]

Hey Titus Can you share your patchs and config files?

[@LoganKaval]

I use Arch Linux and I agree. I like to tinker. 15:51

I broke my first windows (95 or 98) on my first pc in two hours on a first day by deleting bunch of files with some text that i thought i did not need, from system folder😂 and back than it was not that simple to install windows

[@djcetra]

Imagine complaining about Windows and then having to make videos like this daily 🤣
