I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS
Thinking of using NixOS for my work machine as well, however I don’t want to use hyprland or even Wayland as I need this machine to be stable and reliable (Nvidia GPU)
Is I3 still the best option for this or are there better alternatives? (leaning towards I3 ontop of KDE)
I’m also somewhat tempted to just go GNOME with the forge extension as it seems the most reliable, though the tiling on that extension is far from perfect
I would need to go back to my old dwm config file but I think what you’re looking for is this patch. In bspwm this is achieved with the “follow” option as shown in my example.
To restart dwm without login out and back in you’ll need this in your .xinitrc:
while :; do ssh-agent dwm doneThen whenever you kill dwm with
kill -HUP $(pidof -s dwm)it will actually be reloaded. Seems like there’s also 2 patches to do that now (note that they both mention the above method as well).https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/restartsig/

Did that help @dream_weasel ?
