- #Archlinux is a distro whose packages evolves fast because every user is allowed to participate in software version update.

- Whereas #debian is all for stability and restrain software version update to a much smaller subset of users.
(even in unstable)

That's mainly why debian packages tend to lag behind.

+ #hyperland get a new release every time you go pee. 😄

Do you have any experience with or opinion about the #Hyperland compositor? I would like to hear about it, as it sounds awesome on paper and looks great on screenshots. I'm planning to change to a tiling window manager and wonder how it compares to other alternatives. I have tried #Qtile before and liked it. I was also interested in #xmonad, because it can be configured with #Haskell, but I'll rather focus on #Wayland options and I think there are no ports in the horizon.

Just tried Hyperland on Fedora, and it was an exciting experience full of innovative features 🚀✨.
Hyperland offers a unique experience with its performance and smooth interface usage.

But honestly, for me, GNOME remains the best 💻❤️. Its simplicity and system integration make it hard to beat.
What do you think? Which desktop environment do you prefer on Fedora? 🤔

hey you, @linkachus17
i forgot you were hangin out there

still using #Hyperland ?

I messed my systems all to heck while being messed up on some med, and didn't realize it at first. i know that sounds fabricated, but it's true! terrible experience. i digress.

I prob told you about that. my HDTV setup, and how Garuda (Arch based) does so well w/ it.

Purpose of my query:
have you a recommended way to approach Arch?
I tried Artix (Arch with no system d). and i added that AUR from garuda. ha. it worked pretty well.

but it did break it. lol.

Just discovered #libinput's #touchpad drag lock feature.

As someone who prefers linear input with no speed-depedent acceleration, dragging things for wide distances always was a challenge on the #framework16's unfortunately small touch pad.

What this setting does is that it simply doesn't end the drag immediately when you let go of the touchpad, allowing you to reset your finger and continue the drag.

Normally, I don't like delays/timeouts like this because they add friction to using a computer; making the UI feel slow. This one's timeout is higher than I'd like too and it's not configurable either :/
However, they thoughtfully made it so that tapping immediately ends the drag motion which makes it feel quite responsive again.

In #Hyperland, you can enable this feature using:

input::touchpad::tap-and-drag = true

I think #Cosmic is more comparable to #Hyperland than to #GNOME. Hear me out.

After a couple of weeks using Cosmic Epoch, I am thoroughly impressed with it's performance - crashes aside (it's not even alpha yet).

Tiling and stacked windows is all good, but I have a much smoother, snappier desktop experience because Cosmic just uses less resources, which allows other applications to be snappier as well.

The difference is of course that it's going to be a fully fledged DE, app store and all.

@lattera only of the configuration is reasonably scriptable.

After about two decades using it I am still an #AwesomeWM fan at heart even after nearly a year on #Hyperland and am sad the WayCooler project never took off. A good Rust based tiling window manager would be welcome, but much more so if it were properly scriptable with deep access to internals from the outset. Lua would be nice (via mlua) but Rahi might work too.

I've been running Debian and Gnome for 2000 years but want to try something new this summer. I'm wondering if anyone here knows if it's okay to install Hyperland alongside Gnome. Or if it's best to start from scratch, which I'm not so keen on 😅☕

@popey OK, one more: GNOME crashes on mouse hold down and move left. At least at the Dock when I want to move applications. Meaning: Crashing the whole environment and loosing unsaved work is preventing me from switching. Hover, unite-shell together with GNOME is really a cool experience (github.com/hardpixel/unite-she). Let's see if I eventually switch to #hyperland. hyprland.org/.

Anyone playing #Helldivers2 on #linux that is able to successfully run it in #hyperland and have the game maintain mouse functionality?

For some reason, running the game in Hyperland leads to my mouse losing the ability to click on ui elements. I can still move the camera and weirdly select things like drop locations on the map, but I can't select UI items like picking stratagem loadouts or choosing upgrades. It winds up blocking me from being able to enter missions.

When I change back to #cinnamon and #x11 then it works as expected.

My thought is something weird happens when the mouse cursor changes from a pointer to one of the other selection types, but I don't know how to resolve the issue.

I've tried using #GameScope and putting the "force mouse capture" parameter in, but gamescope isn't allowing the game to launch.

I'm happy #sway user, but just came across #hyperland

Anyone made a transition and was happy about it? Not sure it's worth the effort for me (and I did my share of scripting against swaymsg that might need porting/finding different ways), so just asking around.
