I should’ve used it sooner rather than last year when they announced AI integration to Windows. Every peripheral I tried is just worked without needing to install drivers, and it works better and faster than on Windows, just like today when I tried to use my brother’s 3D printer expecting disappointment, but no, it just connected and was ready to print right away (I use Ultimaker Cura), whereas on my brother’s Windows computer I have to wait like 20 seconds; sometimes I have to disconnect and reconnect it again for it to see and ready to use. Lastly, for those who are wondering, I use Vanilla Arch (btw), and sorry for bad English.

          Yeah, it does look great.

          But in terms of tiling WMs, I have high hopes for Cosmic! It’s coming along really well (though not as pretty as Hyprland)

            My primary issue with cosmic is the seeming lack of customizability. On Hyprland I was able to change all the keybindings to the i3 shortcuts (thats what I personally prefer). My full list of problems are:

            1. High resource usage: I get its a full DE but as a WM user it would be nice to disable extra features I dont like
            2. Documentation: I get its still in alpha but morr documentation would be nice
            3. Extension support: Since its a full DE I thought it would have the advantage of supporting extensions, I guess apparently not
            4. Themeing: Im not sure how themeable it is, granted on Hyprland I used a dotfiles from github but it seems limited (only color schemes).

            Granted what System76 is doing with Cosmic is absolutely incredible and I think one day it can be as pretty (perhaps even more) than Hyprland, my problem is thats far ahead in the future when right now I can use Hyprland and right now it looks pretty.

      Without having read through your codebase, are you using someone else’s top bar, or did you write it yourself in ags?

      I wasn’t satisfied with the performance of any bars I tried for X11 so I wrote my own custom one using the eww widget system. I’ve tried ags for a bit but I couldn’t even make an empty bar window that attaches itself to the top of the screen and spans the entire width of my single monitor. 😅 That part worked flawlessly in eww.
