I used Arch btw... and I hated it.

I got this #ThinkPad X280, and I thought, I should go hardcore (I've used Arch in the past too btw). But I disliked the experience again, everything is just buggy: #Hyprland would crash with the default settings with Waybar, Deepin wouldn't load at all, Cinnamon wouldn't ask me for a pswd after a wake-up, KDE would go all haywire if Deepin was installed etc etc etc etc.

Just. Not. good. I don't see why all the raves.

Me sitting on my sofa with my elf slippers, using the Enlightenment DE on Arch Linux, on the Thinkpad X280. I'll probably end up putting Mint in there too. I don't like tinkering. I like things that work.

From what I gathered along the years of using Linux:

- KDE: Tinkerer, you want the OS to work *for you*.
- GNOME: Simpler, you want the OS to *stay away* from you.
- Budgie: Fast, you want GNOME but *your hardware doesn't*.
- XFCE: Faster, you want the OS to *run*.
- Hyprland: H4x0r, you want the OS to *be the terminal*.
- Sway: Edgy, you want the OS to be *your phone*.

I have been studying #FreeBSD docs and forums the entire morning and my takeaway, so far, is that I would probably try #Hyprland on it first before settling down with #i3. But laptop power management support seems to be hit and miss a lot and it might end up being a challenge to get my laptop properly entering suspend to RAM when I close the lid, and properly waking up afterwards.

Also I need FreeBSD stickers. #FOSS

I've been using #SwayWM for quite a while now and I've been loving it. Now that I've gotten used to using a tiling window manager, I don't like using a computer without it.

I've installed and fired up #Hyprland a few times but haven't given it enough of a go yet to say whether I like it or not.

@fabio@manganiello.social I've tried it several times but every time #Wayland just isn't there yet. Even if you stick to one of the huge DEs (which I don't), there's plenty of bugs and features just straight up not working. The things that do work seem to be a bit smoother than #Xorg, but there's too many things missing to make it worthwhile.

I was able to get pretty close with #Hyprland, but it constantly uses a full cpu core while being idle which isn't great, and the master tiling layout often leaves massive gaps which seem to only be resolved by opening a window, waiting a bit, and then closing that window again. Very annoying, and doesn't seem to ever happen with #Awesome.

I'll try again in a couple years I guess. It should be usable before the end of my life, right?

Hi, I'm Josh, and I am currently studying computer science in hopes of working in the software development/general tech industry.

This is my main #mastodon account, but I probably will have others. Any account officially verified with my website is either me or acknowledged by me unless otherwise stated.
