Hey #lazyweb, I'm a current #Ubuntu user who successfully switched from #gnome to #sway

I'm debating switching to #bazzite but noticed #Fedora Sway Atomic 42 is also one of the Fedora Atomic Desktops (although I note that Bazzite does not get listed on fedoraproject.org/atomic-deskt).

How can I get the Nvidia and Steam support as from Bazzite but get sway support as from FedoraSwayAtomic? What can I do? I don't understand the implications of ostree rebasing to know how to blend the support.

The more I play around with #emacs, the further down the rabbit hole I go. Just found Newsticker, and lo, it's awesome. I'm currently down to two open apps - Emacs and Qutebrowser (runnig on #sway) It's slightly surreal that things can be distilled down to such a simple setup, and yet feel so productive.

Something I miss from #Tiling wms/compositors like #i3wm and #sway when I'm on #KDE:

I use #Yakuake on KDE #Plasma to have a terminal that's easily accessible, but stays out of my way when I don't want to see it.

On tiling setups, I use disappearing windows (I forget the actual name of the feature) that will pop up when I hit super+-, appear one at a time, and then disappear.

Yakuake lets you do tiling as well within its window, but I kinda miss the ability to cycle through a bunch of windows very easily. I mean, I've got the keyboard shortcuts set up very nicely, so it's just F12 to make the window appear and disappear, and then control+tab to cycle through tabs or control+pgup/pgdown to jump between panes, but somehow the tiling setup is just a bit easier to do. Less thinking, just super+-. ;)

I don't know if I'll continue to use tiling setup too much longer, though. It's too aggravating to figure out how to get the occasional gnome program to work properly. There's always some kind of fancy library initialization that I fail to get right. It's easier to just use a DE and whittle it down to nearly tiling levels of productivity.

684 - Transforma GNOME en un Tiling Window Manager

Como utilizar #gnome como un tiling window manager al estilo de #sway o #hyprland con un par de extensiones y con toda la potencia y personalización

En los últimos meses he vuelto a utilizar GNOME como entorno de escritorio por defecto. La razón para este regreso, es que, como te conté hace algunos
