Literally just started a fresh rice of Hyprland an hour ago and you upload this video, insane timing
Ricing in Linux was always meant to be a niche corner for those who can program their own config files and essentially make new interfaces using the WM as a framework, for all other people dotfiles exist
- "we have our GTK apps are actually themed and looking really good.." - opens up nautilus with a standard libadwaita theme while everything else is catppuccin :D But jokes aside — great video. However, using a desktop environment won't save you from this pain, especially if you absolutely cannot live without tilling window management. WM people just don't have many options. We either have to get through this pain of configuration all of that from the ground up or stuck with messy (floating) window management. There is a hope though... Cosmic
Cosmic Desktop is looking to finally fix this. It's a tiling window manager built into an entire desktop Environment. This means folks who want something that works Out of the Box and look nice will be able to use Cosmic and still get all that good tiling keyboard goodness.
The best part is when you start nixing
0:52 not me nodding to the intro ❤
Intro is so awesome - Makes me feel like I'm back in the 90's.
8:25 Nice! You are using these side cuts so much better! Well done! The black and white really makes the cut work much more cleanly, as does the reduced change of angle. And you went tighter on the framing, too!
So I installed hyprland after watching your first video, and riced up with wofi, mako, waybar using catppuccin theme, and almost finished before your second video came out (I haven't used it before). Now working on wofi to launch a keymap hint , in case i forget any. Just loving it 🥰
I totally didn't misread the title as "The painful world of Linux Racing" and then get all confused when he talks about colors and themes. Na ah. Couldn't be me.. 😤
I used to run an almost 1 to 1 copy of what you have here. After one month of tinkering, I had the realization that all of these are over the top. I then resorted to the dumbest de I can think of, Cinnamon. I don’t even want a tiling manager at that point, as the default keybinding for moving windows and workspaces works perfectly fine.
Your videos are so relatable and great. Nice work, as always.
catppuccin for gtk apps was a fork of Colloid-gtk-theme by vinceliuice which is still getting developed and maintained and has options to install as catppuccin mode for your gtk apps
4:33 vim diesel
It would be great to showcase the new Cosmic OS with their tiling window manager, catppuccin themes, etc for a 10min rice for those who don’t want to go all in
Discovered your channel recently. Thanks for the tutorial vids man.
the best part is any attempt to create a unified config system will inevitably lead to another standard nobody wants to implement
Took some time setting up my i3 with your videos, but to me it's worth the time, since i have fun doing it and it's comfortable when im working
Personally I've found KDE to just absolutely wipe the floor with everything else now that wayland support is in good shape. Yes, it tiles just fine, no, I don't need to use the mouse with it any more then with sway/hypr, no, you don't get that experience out of the box, you still have to tinker with it. But when you're done tinkering, what remains is just so much more that you don't need to bother with. Notifications, launcher, clipboard, lock screen,, cattpuccin support for qt/gtk, it's all there.
