What DEs are people using? (lemmy.world)

I wanted to get a feel for everyone’s thoughts on desktop environments (or window managers if you don’t use a DE). I’m new to Lemmy, so apologies if this is too low-effort a post.

Personally I’m running KDE on my main computer, but I have an Arch virtual machine I use for more experimentation. That VM has seen KDE, i3, and will probably see hyprland at some point soon

Sway. I look around every few months but nothing usually, um, erm pendulates my interest. I have hyprland installed...but my config file breaks with every update, and it's rice first, function later. I'm an opposite-ricer. I like to strip all decorations.

I just started using sway as well! Care to share any tips, tricks, or your favorite config snippets?

[–] boomboxnation@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Just keep the config file(s) handy and always be playing with them. Join IRC #sway@Libera. Oh...and you can use the majority of the i3wm docs outside of anything doing with output or input. While I love man pages...I prefer web content for my docs.
