#Wayland

19 posts18 participants0 posts today
So after changing name from #MaomaoWM to #MangoWM they have a nice new logo too.

This project's development is based on dwl.

Lightweight & Fast Build
Mango is as lightweight as dwl, and can be built completely within a few seconds. Despite this, Mango does not compromise on functionality.

Feature Highlights
In addition to basic WM functionality, Mango provides:
Excellent xwayland support.
Base tags not workspaces (supports separate window layouts for each tag)
Smooth and customizable complete animations (window open/move/close, tag enter/leave,layer open/close/move)
Excellent input method support (text input v2/v3)
Flexible window layouts with easy switching (scroller, master, monocle, spiral, etc.)
Rich window states (swallow, minimize, maximize, unglobal, global, fakefullscreen, overlay, etc.)
Simple yet powerful external configuration
Sway-like scratchpad and named scratchpad
Minimize window to scratchpad
Hycov-like overview
Window effects from scenefx (blur, shadow, corner radius, opacity)

#Wayland #TilingWindowManager

I dont' think a lot of people appreciate just how good default Sway is as a WM. and this is probably a controversial take but Sway-Bar with i3Status or blocks is WAY better than Waybar (I personally hate waybar).

It just works.

I think the problem with #Wayland that on it's own it is not enough. X11 x Wayland is a close fit, but my new framework, Yutani, should help catapult things beyond the 21st century.

If you can't want to see what Wayland-Yutani can accomplish in the future, may I recommend 30 years in hypersleep...

Fedora with Mate+Compiz. It's ok, but being Fedora it consumes a lot of RAM (double than on Arch with Mate). Overall though, usable. Nvidia drivers got installed without issue following the wiki (unlike on OpenSuSE, on the same hardware). Finally, I don't know what Mate will do though since X11 is going to be removed in the next Fedora version, and Mate doesn't work with #Wayland.

Ok, you crazies...

Who among you are bollocks enough to port Xterm to Wayland? 😂🤣

The motivation for this total gobshite toot: I'd love to have a #wayland terminal emulator with bangin' support for (actual) bitmapped fonts. And a friendly little font menu. XD

P.S. THIS became a #hellthread???!? lol... powerful force, this #hellthreadia, but the method of activation is highly irregular! XD

TRIUMPH! The LAST and FINAL thing holding me back from completely moving to #Wayland was replacing #AutoKey for text expansion.

#espanso appears to replace all the functionality (at least that I use, although the scripting is not via Python). Happy!

NOTE! DEBIAN USERS! If you follow the instructions on the installation page, you get an old release that has dependency issues. Download the LATEST RELEASE 2.2.3 of the Wayland .deb

github.com/espanso/espanso/rel

and then follow the installation instructions:
