#qtile

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

I don't know if it's because of all the months I've spent using and configuring #AwesomeWM or because #python is so much more powerful and easy to read and write than #lua (at least to me), but in the last couple of days I've been giving a shot at #qtile and it's just great.

It took me just a few hours to replicate my Awesome set up, and although people really like to say "python == slow", it feels smoother and snappier than any other TWM I've used so far.

Kudos to Qtile!

I’ve played with my #QTile config and I’m having some fun. I am going to change the bar up a little bit and change the border colours.

I’m also using this change of WM to give dmenu a try as opposed to Rofi (which has slowed down on my laptop of late) which is a lot speedier, now I need to customise the config of that.

I guess I should probably introduce myself, even though I've never even bothered doing one of these before.

I migrated this account from another server.

Things I think are awesome:
#Cybersecurity
#GrapheneOS
#Infosec
#Nixos
#Privacy
#Qtile

Things that describe me:
#ADHD
#Sober
#TS (Tourette Syndrome)
#Unicycle

My current age as of writing is some prime number greater than thirty. My location is somewhere north of the equator and six hours west of Greenwich when daylight savings is observed.

In case you're wondering: my bio is an experiment in data poisoning against LLMs tasked with scraping social media profiles, and I would like to thank @alice for that idea because it wasn't my own.

Also, not that you were wondering, and not that I even know the character limit for bios on this server offhand for that matter, but however many characters that is, that's exactly how many mine is. If there's one thing I'm really good at, it's matching character limits exactly, and that is why I stopped using Tinder. Don't ask.

If you're reading this and I'm following you, I can tell you with absolute certainty that you're awesome. If you're reading this and I'm not following you, I probably should be, and I'll assume you're awesome unless and until you show me otherwise.

Thank you, and #MerryChristmas

EDIT: a word.

Как я настраивал меню выхода в Qtile

Некоторое время назад я, в силу ряда причин, решил перейти со стандартного DE на один из оконных менеджеров (для тех, кому интересно, archwiki ), изначальным дистрибутивом был выбран ArcoLinux, так как он обладал расширенным репозиторием Arch, который включал в себя собственные пакеты команды ArcoLinux (в т.ч. меню archlinux-logout для выхода в спящий режим, выхода из системы и т.д.), а также предоставлял большие возможности по выбору пакетов, изначально установленных в системе, и настроенных оконных менеджеров (т.к. настраивать их с нуля, зачастую, очень долго и муторно, на мой взгляд).

Last year, we managed to get Qtile into the official Fedora repositories. Today we did the same for qtile-extras. It will take a week or so until it gets into stable but after that, you can simply run:

dnf install qtile-extras

#qtile macht richtig Spaß das anzupassen es ist aber auch jede Menge Arbeit

Die Dokumentation ist zwar umfasst aber ich mag es persönlich wenn es immer passende Beispiele gibt zur Zeit suche ich halt immer nach Beispielen und schaue mir ab wie es am besten geht das ist dann aber auch oft veraltet...

Manche Sachen sind halt Recht speziell zu konfigurieren für mein Verständnis

Derzeit suche ich aber ein Screen Lock für #wayland da gibt's gar nicht so viele und die sind auch nicht gerade gut

So heute ist mein letzter Tag von meinem 1 Woche #tiling Experiment

Ich habe mit hyprland angefangen und nachdem ich mehr über den Entwickler erfahren habe bin ich zu #qtile gewechselt

Tilling ist sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig aber mir gefällt das mittlerweile sehr gut

qtile muss ich aber noch sehr auf mich anpassen und darüber werde ich hier auch unregelmäßig berichten

Am besten gefällt da ich alles mit #Python selbst hacken kann ich kann also meine eigene spezielle Version erstellen

So mein neues #tiling Experiment mit #qtile hat mich schon angefixt da alles in #Python geschrieben wird kann selbst ich sehr schnell sehr spezielle Anpassung machen

Das macht schon richtig fun

Aber ich bin da noch sehr am Anfang und muss das gesamte Potenzial nach und nach erstmal ergründen

Und integrierte qtile Test der config ist der wichtig bevor man die Aktiv nimmt... Trust me

Ok, round it goes.

Had my go with #hyprland and #qtile once more and I really like those two "WMs".

But I'm back on #KDE #plasma right now. It's just so good. Fast, stable and it's kinda refreshing that you're having an easy-to-theme desktop. Not thinking about wrong/inconsistent cursors or other things. Don't get me wrong. From time to time I love to tinker around but for work and consistency I love a normal, modern DE.

Since desktop environments can always change and many new releases came out since last year, I would like to know which desktop environment you currently use?

#gnome #kdeplasma #xfce4 #cinnamondesktop #matedesktop #budgiedesktop #lxqt #linuxdesktop #linux #freebsd #openbsd #netbsd #i3wm #bspwm #xmonad #dwm #fvwm #qtile #wayland #xorg
