What desktop?

ponik ,

Harakiri

GolfNovemberUniform ,

10/10 distro and 10/10 setup. FWMs ftw

mccd OP ,

Yeah, I think Hikari combines the best of both. In the rare cases I need to tile, it has that capability but in most cases I have 1-2 windows and find it easier to work with them when the windows are smaller.

GolfNovemberUniform ,

Hmm how hard is it to configure and add window decorations? I might take a look at it if I can use it without key bindings

mccd OP ,

Configuration is straight forward with a file but you won't be able to use it without keybindings.

GolfNovemberUniform ,

Then it's not for me. Thanks for the answer though

Newchair ,

I would use it but on my hardware its buggy and unmaintained.

atomkarinca ,

is hikari good as a floating wm?

mccd OP ,

I think it's very underrated. It has some features I really appreciate:

  • Tiling features when needed, W+l s tiles everything when I need it.
  • Great shortcuts, like go to next busy desktop, maximize height of window
  • Holding win reveals the title of the window.
  • Cursor follows active window

It matches my workflow very well.

dsemy ,

Does it work well for you? I used cwm on X11 (fairly similar to Hikari), but last time I tried Hikari on Void I kept running into weird issues.

mccd OP ,

Yeah I'd say so.

The only issues I've had is that pinch-to-zoom and fractional scaling does not work (but easily solvable).

It looks like hikari developement has stalled a bit, are you using a fork or something like that? Great setup btw:)

mccd OP ,

Thanks! Hmm, could be that it has stalled, though it's working great for me so I don't really know if it's a problem. I'm using the main repo.

“my desktop didn’t need the complexity of Guix”

so … Alpine next?

mccd OP ,

Maybe, not sure how musl compares to glibc. I quite like Runit and xbps though so I don't feel like I'm in a rush.
