  • Oh that’s cool. This fixes my problem with switching to windows.

    Another issue with niri is you kinda get lost in the infinite scroll. Sometimes you dont know if there are any other windows, or hundred other windows in a workspace. As opposed to sway tabs, that show you exactly how many windows tgere are, what they are, and where you are in your ws.

    Something that would definitely make me fully switch to niri is if you could increntally scroll windows instead of one window at a time. Think I can create a terminal 3 times wider than my monitor, open nvim and create ~10 splits in it and simple switch between them. Bu you just can’t do that.


  • From the top of my head, when working on something in sway/i3 I have my browsers assigned to workspace3, my terminals to ws1, my ide to ws2 and so on. So when I open them they automatically open in those ws, and I always know where to find them. I might have ~20 windows opened across 7-9 different workspaces. I go to ws2, edit my code, see the results in ws3 in my browser, do something in the term, and repeat. I might do this in a loop a lot. The benefit of i3 is that I know exactly where to find what and it’s very simple to switch to it. But niri doesn’t have fixed workspaces and for finding windows you have to visually search for them. So the process becomes pretty cumbersome.





  • IBM is giving us(tge FOSS and Linux world) technical advancements and money but is taking away the Freedom part more and more.

    They are locking in linux and the ecosystem according to their own business needs. Gnome, systemd, or most other redhat products, you can see how inconpatible they are with other software and go their own way, which affects the whole Linux world.

    I personally really dislike redhat and IBM. Specially IBM itself is an absolute governmental piece of shit with a history not much better than microsoft and facebook.











  • Chill out my friend. We use FOSS and privacy respecting things to make our lives easier and more enjoyable . Don’t stress yourself. If you need to do something then do it. No need to feel bad.

    Something is always better than nothing. You’ve done so much in terms of better privacy and using FOSS so you’re doing great and better than most people. Just live your life and improve things step by step.
