I'm a father of 2 littles. I'm in my first year of an enterprise programmer job. Time is literally worth gold to me I have so little. And yet i still rice my nixos/hyprland, roll my own neovim config, and git commit and gnu stow every dotfile to not be completely nix-reliant . I think we're all just playing on hardmode and can't stop. God I miss sleep. But at least everything looks sick
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
Yes please, I've been wanting to start using it, but I'm finding it hard to find time to learn it. Having a nice well constructed video would really simplify the whole process
- "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
Btw, while Catppuccin for GTK is not maintained anymore, it is still working. As far as I am aware, the repo was abandoned because the upstream theme (Colloid) wasn't the right choice because of the complex CI. Other popular themes do GTK just fine. There is ongoing discussion about the replacement, but you can already find plenty of GitHub repos that offer catppuccin GTK.
How do you even git nautilus with libadwaita on dark theme ? I have it on light theme and every time I try to switch it to dark it gives me a weird old gtk 2/3 dark theme that is very different
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.
COSMIC has been an absolute godsend as a tool to try out and edit color schemes really fast, which i would later adapt into my i3 setup, but as a DE i feel like it looks/feels too toy-ish for my taste i really hope it succeeds though, it looks like they're going in a really good direction with it
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!
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.. 😤
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
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 🥰
@@typecraft_devI think the worst part is the maintenance. I’d be fine configuring once and not having to touch it forever, but the unstable and dynamic nature of the linux desktop means a lot the tooling gets abandoned or superceded or unmaintained, which means I have to look for another alternative and configure that and so on and so forth
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
This "struggle" is one of the reasons why I chose for dwm instead of a windowmanager like Hyprland, dwm just comes with a panel and systemtray (if you do that patch, which you can do automatically) and that makes it incredibly easy. The other reason why I chose for dwm, I love the so-called tag feature, it means that you can combine multiple workspaces: either showing them or putting a program on them. For example, you can easily have a program visible on 2 workspaces and combine that program with 2 different programs, 1 for one workspace and the other for the other. That way you can very easily switch which programs are visible by just pressing one keycombination. That can be a great productivity booster, for example when you need the following 3 applications open: PDF-reader, browser, editor.
oh wow, I really like the idea of being able to have the same window on multiple workspaces, but I also spent weeks configuring hyprland so switching is a painful proposition.
@@paultapping9510 That is the great thing of dwm, there is very little effort required to configure it! You just use one 'header'-file which is quite easily readable, in that file you define hotkeys (monkey sees, monkey does) and you can for example simply add the number of workspaces by adding extra elements to the array in which those are defined. It is set up to make it easy. The functionality is simply determined by which pathces you do. Maybe patching sounds scary but there really isn't much to it. You do the first and biggest patch automatically by using the patch program which already is installed on your system (type "tldr patch" if you have tldr installed) and for the other patches you simply open the diff-file in any text-editor which has proper syntax-highlighting (that makes it much easier to read it) and then simply add and remove the lines as pointed out in the diff-file. There is little that can go wrong, just backup your dwm-directory but even if you would mess that up, as long as you make mistakes dwm simply won't compile and you will keep using the older executable which will keep working exactly the same. If you would like to get started with dwm, try for example Chris Titus Tech his dwm-config out, he started based on mine but then he went his own way with it. It is a solid starting point, I think that he has all the patches which I would recommend, some of those he added based on my recommendation.
@@paultapping9510 Anyway, that thing which you mention, that is basic functionality of dwm, you don't need to patch it for that. I have done 8 patches, 7 of those I did manually: systray, swallow, rotatestack, movestack, pertag, cfacts, resizecorners, attachaside, The systray-patch is the one which you should do automatically, it is by far the longest one, the other ones don't take much work when done manually. Of course when you do it the first time it takes longer because you still are clumsy with it but it will get easy. A one time investment of time, then you can keep using it on any system and get it setup within 5 seconds: copy 1 directory of dwm and copy 2 files for starting whatever you want to start with it, like a clipboard manager. Bonustip: the best way to make screenshots on X11 is by combining scrot and xclip and make hotkeys for that. This includes making screenshots by drawing a rectangle.
@@manhle1582 I don't know what that "silent" workspace is (not being called like that on dwm) but that phrase reminds me of one wonderful patch which I use which does exist on another windowmanager: it swallows your terminal whenever it can't be used. If you open a program from the terminal (there are good reasons for that) then you don't end up with half the screen being wasted. After you close that program then the terminal gets shown again.
Hey man, just letting you know that through your videos I learned a lot, from nvim to titling window managers to ricing and now nix. You are doing some good stuff. Thanks again
I'm an arch user of 10 years, been using tiling window managers a bit longer than that. The pain of ricing, I'll never do it again, because I switched to NixOS last month, and stylix basically needed a few lines of config in my main config, and it changed almost every app I use to catppuccin, and the few I use it didn't change, they already use my terminals colors, so they changed as well
Oh, forgot to say, stylix supports arbitrary color schemes (not just catppuccin). Or even picking colors from your wallpaper, but the latter one I think I would never use
I’ve been using arch Linux for 3 years now. Before that, I used Debian for years. I also will switch to nixos. I’ve been ricing nixos in a virtual machine. Until that I will remain on arch.
I would also like to use NixOS but because they're not FHS compliant, I'm afraid most of the software I use will not work. Sure my desktop will look great, but what is the point if I can't do work in it?
@@groff8657nixpkgs (their package repository) has _a lot_ of software already packaged, and as such it basically just works. On rare occasions the app you want to use isn't packaged, but you can make a package request at the repo, or look for how some similar programs are packaged and package your app yourself! It's by no means obvious, but with some practice it's quite doable
@@groff8657Each derivation in Nix follows the FHS, so you don't have one which can cause dependency hell and makes reproducibility impossible, but you get one for each derivation. The fact that some prepackaged software requires a FHS is not a real problem for Nix. You can either fix it at compile time, patch the binaries after the build, fix dynamic linking with Nix-LD or even just spawn a FHS for a specific app/shell with `buildFHSUserEnv`. Most of the time you, don't need to bother with these things, but once in a while you bump into this and then it's a bit of extra work. But the advantage is that you do it once and it works forever on every machine.
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.
Thank you for making this video! I just went through that pain trying to get a unified Rose Pine theme for Gnome and was thinking about trying out Hyprland, outside of the general pain of theming it, have you enjoyed using Hyprland as a whole?
I did quite an amount of customisation previously and now I stick with Fedora with Gnome without even changing the default wallpaper. And.. I still love it.
The max customisation I do is change the accent color and wallpape (gnome) ;) I pretty much much leave everything stock! (Even terminal colors and nvim colorscheme are the default ones) I’ve changed these many times and just gave up at one point as I found myself doing these more than doing anything productive and get things done. Linux ricing and config management/customisation tailoring to our needs is a rabbit hole and that’s the beauty of it!
Possible to get your dotfiles uploaded? Seems like a great way to start or learn more from. I have configured my own configs, since i wanted a vertical waybar, not alot of other configs has that. But would still be nice to see how you implemented with catpuccin. Thanks for a great video.👍🏻
I've been ricing Hyprland with for the past few weeks and felt this video, there are a few scrpt installs that are really solid if you or anyone else wants to get a more out of the box feel in a slick hyprland environment, check out ML4W's script install, great standalone or base to get a stable hyprland session, cheeers!
I went through ricing on Linux, then got a MacBook for work and installed yabai (basically a bspwn clone for Mac) and what I got is a very Linux-like workflow and an amazing default desktop environment underneath.
Yeah... Hyprland was very cool, but for now I gave up due to configuration hell, but also the immaturity of Hyprland and having to use a bunch of AUR-only packages. That's not where I want to spend my time, and GNOME "just works." That being said, this little experiment really makes me appreciate the work that goes into KDE and GNOME.
Seeing such configuration is always awe inspiring. I kind of want to try the Hyprland but knowing how much work it needs to satisfy my needs so far always turned me off. Someday I will grow up to do this ;). For now, moving from Screen to Tmux will suffice
You are just great. You have built all of these knowledge and made a good looking desktop. Now, can you create a distro out of it? :) So that we would not have to do all of the steps you took? It looks just fine to 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.
I have a very nice setup with Gnome with my colours changing automatically with both daylight and nightlight based on my system. It took quite some time to configure everything and find everything I needed, like you say.
Even though I love making rice, I think it's all a bottomless hole for people without time, I know that there are dotfiles, but there is nothing better than using a configuration created and thought out by you, for a long time I designed several interfaces, but I never managed to complete one of them, because I always fell into the same thought, "where am I spending my time", I even started creating an OS with the hyprland interface by default, but if you have time left over to create something for yourself, congratulations! you just fell into an incredible world, otherwise it's just a loop that will never end... Thank you for this video, it's a topic I've been thinking about for a long time.
Thank you for this video. As someone who is currently ricing it for everforest I can say catpuccin people go the easy road. 😅 Fun aside. There are so many people adopting hyprdots and don't understand what's behind it. They come to the forums and don't even know the wiki for hyprland. All those people promoting this dotfile/installer thing should link your video to show the hassle.
I am loving HyprPanel (not hyprpanel) at the moment. Its so good and comes with default themes you can change in a config panel.. with Catppuccin themes out of the box! love it! :)
I went through this pain recently and gladly came back to... gnome. Now appreciate how awesome this is. And with tiling manager plugin from pop os it works like hyprland :)
The tiling window manager to gnome pipeline is real. I just want things to work and look and feel consistent, and only care about tiling wms insofar as they give me productivity. But if the time spent configuring and maintaining my rice exceeds the productivity boost from a tiling environment, that’s just stupid for me. If I wasn’t using fedora sway I’d just be used fedora gnome or linux mint cinnamon.
This is why I went back to KDE with Krohnkite. If I ever have to customize my config with a freaking JSON again I'll throw my PC out of the window. Krohnkite, to my surprise, works perfectly fine out of the box. No plasma crashes, great choice of layouts, full keyboard navigation working and Kwin rules take care of pesky titlebars and borders.
normally I'd be like... "tch, don't exaggerate," but a qt update did actually bork my config for like 3 days just the other week. I had to use a totally vanilla and unconfigured gnome 😢
So I'm writing this from OpenBSD with cwm, and my configuration for xterm, xidle and some other standard tools (included into OpenBSD fork of Xorg) has been stable for about 15 years. There is a standard from pre-wayland times, it's called Xresources, and it works just fine. It allows exactly what you want - set up fonts and colors independently from the application development. I know Linux moved past on Xorg, but the design approach still could be reused. My biggest issue with ricing is not the effort and separate steps, it's the stability. I want to make the best configuration for me, and I want to keep it for 10, 15, 20 years, if I'm happy with it.
I wanted kind of the same thing. A working hyprland config that looks good with almost no effort configuring. I used the ML4W dotfiles, just copied over my existing shell config and i was good to go (after changing some of the keybindings)
is it possible to do all the configurations whilst inside a different DE? Such as x11 or something? Then just making sure they are all saved in the correct places, or do you need to configure it from with hyprland itself?
I riced up my nvim, tmux and terminal configs, cus at the end of the day these are just 3 aplications. I wanted to try tilling window managers but honestly I cant be bothered to maintain all the little pieces it requires, i can see an update to just one part of it that can borks everything and I wasted enough time already configuring nvim, I am at my limit. Its the reason im waiting to see how Cosmic DE turns out, cus its gonna have tilling and everything else builtin.
If you want a good tiling wm, i3 works pretty well and you only need to configure it, a lock screen, and polybar (or another x11 status bar) and typecraft has a video on both of those. I3 also comes with a default config so youre only editing that, not writing it from scratch
@@christopherwood6514 I watched his videos on i3 a while back and ran into some problems, namely flatpaks not being found by the app launcher and whatnot, so i gave up. Maybe ill try it again.
Oh, I've been through this when I was trying to configure awesomewm last year. You barely mentioned the widgets, I couldn't find a decent one to control volume, and the bluetooth one kept glitching out, not to mention them all looking so different from each other that the final thing was just ugly. I ended up giving up, Plasma gives enough customization options and the "tiling" features aren't the end of the world, but I'm considering switching to hyprland every day. Here's a trick I learned: Plasma sets up both Qt and GTK for you when you set a color scheme, it changes all the files in the GTK directories so GTK and Qt apps all look the same even when not on Plasma. I'm thinking the secret to doing this is to run hyprland alongside Plasma, to let Plasma do the configs and possibly use it's apps too but never log into it, just use hyprland. The day I figure out how to put Plasma widgets on Waybar is the day I switch to hyprland.
As said in maybe other comments, just use nix and use stylix for your ricing, it makes things so easy to have consistent color scheme everywhere and fonts and the rest.
how does your terminal look like that? i tried to do that myself but i could only change the color of the text and couldn't put it in a bubble like yours
And then you also have Qt applications, and different formats for mouse cursors, and on top of everything you have flatpaks. I have something decent looking, but I've had to purposefully stop trying to match everything (KeePassXC still using default colorscheme, which is terrible) just so I could actually use my computer for what I need.
Thirty-one years ago, I had the same enthusiasm for configuring Fvwm on Linux 0.96 in a Slackware distribution ;-) Now I prefer something more convenient and, above all, consistent. I plan to eventually switch to Wayland and am waiting patiently for Cosmic Desktop ;-)
You only have to do it once. Just upload your configs and make a script to clone and make. I understand that ricing is a slippery slope and that the space has been entirely consumed by it, but once you get something you like you're done. I use an almost entirely stock dwm, almost entirely default kitty, and an almost entirely default lazyvim, which takes a script 45 seconds to clone, patch, and compile.
if you want to spend less time ricing you can use an arch based distro like endeavouros for instance which will give you tiling windows management with a nice look out of the box.
Still an undergrad in CSE. I think I leant more while messing with my system configs then any other course I have taken, Yes it takes lot of time but its the best productive procrastination there is
For a GTK catppuccin theme, I'd suggest using Colloid-theme which supports different colors schemes including catppuccin. Wofi docs suck it almost got no docs other than man-pages but I was able to do my custom Wofi theme by using same CSS variables from the Waybar catppuccin theme... I use nixos btw.
currently ricing hyprland, biggest issue I have right now that there's too many options for everything. need to spend like an hour deciding which status bar should i go with, or which notification daemon should I choose.
I’ve caught you at last! We are the sons of the terminal! I am The Pain of Ricing Linux! I shall guide you to a world of anguish beyond your imagination where dependencies never end and kernel panics are your constant companion. Let’s get started, and may the bees of broken packages sting you forever - The Pain
Yeah I am just starting now to try and do this, and I thought I would install HyDE to start with. I like a lot of the stuff it does, but it just seems to obfuscate all the actual configuration files. So I think if I start off with HyDE and try to modify it to make it the way I want then I am mostly learning HyDE and how they do things. So I am think I am going to bite the bullet and try and do it from scratch. Hopefully your video series will help. :D
The things is, imagine doing all that work and then with the simple change of a wallpaper theme, everything goes to 💩 and you now have to edit every single program on your system again to look nice with such wallpaper. Basically, before any rice, you have to commit to a color scheme first.
if you're comfortable with manual ricing and some scripting and you like changing color themes a lot it shouldn't be that hard to make a script that replaces colors over all of your config files using a theme you define in whatever format in one place
Hyprland actually is a good thing. Some people really love to tinker to get their desktop exactly how they want. For years, being crippled by rigid desktop environments was frustrating. Let the end user types use those restrictive desktop environments and let the tinkerers have their tiling WM toys.
Being new to Linux and having conversations on different forums I find that there are a few problems with Linux as you pointed out: Someone can make great software but there is no standard. If you put up a post and ask "Why doesn't all Linux apps conform to CUI 2.0 standards? " you may end up getting beat up. STANDARDS? We use Linux because there are no standards. (stupid comment IMHO) As a result you may have 3 or more ways just to copy and paste something!!! Go deeper into config files and you are walking out into the desert of the wild, wild west. Each developer wants to do what he/she wants to do and standards be damned. And THAT is one of the reasons Linux remains in the background. And yet, with a few changes, a few standards, and a guideline of what every application should have and you end up with a better, greater operating system.
Starting using vim keybinds in my ide a few weeks ago and I love not having to use the mouse so I’m really really considering switching to a tiling wm. The only problem is I’m in school and I can’t have a half functional laptop for a week
I use Rofi instead of wofi. Docs are better and it still works pretty good in wayland. Only caveat, the windows menu won't work out of the box. I had to create my own
Iirc I've also had window selection broken at some point but since I last installed a wm I just run "rofi -show window" and it works, must have been fixed
Ngl this video has good timing, as just 3 days ago I moved from Hyprland back to Plasma 6 because of this very issue. It's already difficult enough to get your rice to look nice, but when updates start breaking things it becomes a cat and mouse game to find what broke and why, how to fix it, then only have it broken again in a future update. Case in point, 2 months ago KDE apps like Dolphin stopped following my custom Qt theme I'd configured with qt6ct and kvantum and they also stopped following my custom icon theme (Papirus dark btw). I never managed to find a fix for it so I just rolled with it. But then last week Qt theming broke even worse and now all Qt 6 theming is broken and I just get a default white theme for Qt 6 apps. Meanwhile KDE Qt apps still have their hardcoded default theme, but they have no icons whatsoever. Then there's also the fact that on NixOS some apps for configuring GTK themes like nwg-look don't work in NixOS's unique directory structure and try to look for installed themes in places that don't exist. So I have to manually make symlinks in my home dir to allow nwg-look to find the proper themes from there. Then there's also the fact that some of my custom scripts to implement functionality such as volume increasing/decreasing with a notification and some animations when I press a hotkey occasionally break after an update. Though tbf this is mainly my fault for using an unstable scripting language that changes quickly. Of course I have had other issues in the past. I've used Hyprland for 7 months after all. But I mostly tolerated them, even one particularly bad problem where on some Hyprland versions my OBS recording would randomly freeze on an arbitrary frame until I re-select the source game window and thus I had to constantly switch between my game and OBS while playing and recording to check if I had to fix it in real time. So at one point I just decided I didn't want to keep up with all these changes and to be constantly on the lookout for major or subtle breakages on every update. I went back to Plasma 6 where I don't have tiling nor can I configure even some basic stuff like moving the freakin OSD volume notification to the corner of the screen instead of the center. But at least I don't have to deal with all the aforementioned pain points. And I can apply some of what I've learned from Hyprland to improve upon my former workflow before trying Hyprland. E.g. I can use virtual desktops whereas previously I never touched them and I can simulate submaps by making a shortcut that runs a script that expects a single key input and then runs a command based on the key. All in all, I realized that while I like having a riced up system, I don't have the will to maintain it forever and ultimately prefer stuff to just work. EDIT: just to be clear and explicit, I love Hyprland and its workflow. It was my first tiling WM. However, I don't like the unstable and error-prone environment in which I must run it. I suppose this makes me the perfect candidate for Cosmic when it's released, huh?
The best tiling WM is KDE+tiling kwin script(e.g. krohnkite). Everything working out of the box including panel, widgets(including sound mixer and network manager), system settings, file manager etc, and the tiling experience is basically flawless. I used DWM in the past which i loved, i configured it hardly and still functionality was lacking badly. KDE setup is MUCH better, if you want simple tiling wm then just use KDE, i insist.
NGL, as much as I enjoyed my time Ricing with nix, it would be nice to be able to get a nice tiling window manager interface without having to spend hours setting up the system. I left nix and hyprland for arch and gnome just because there were so many weird issues that I did not have time to work around. I'm rather sad about this because nether gnome nor kde seem to have good implementations of hyprland style tiling. Hoping cosmic fills this niche when it comes out of alpha.
We should standardized the configuration format in linux tooling The contenders are YAML, JSON and TOML. IMO TOML is the best of both YAML and JSON. I also want to add configuration should never have logic. TOML for default configuration file format in linux gor tool configuration
The best configuration files are in programming languages. I think recently apple released a configuration format that allows logic, so I didn't know why you are against that. Yaml toml are good for less advanced programs. Json is the worst because it doesn't allow comments.
@@007arek yeah lua is being used in wezterm and neovim as a plugin and config language. Apple's Pkl is also great but the question is scripting and config should remain different. For example in web development CSS, JavaScript are different.
the catppuccin gtk4 theme can still be used there are some minor changes since the last gnome version but it works fine. Installation/setup sucks though.
Im having intel i3-6006u with amd gpu 8500m series , but now i dont know why its not working any fix ? Even windows also not able to install drivers of it , current intel graphics being is used which is not able to render the wayland .... Laptop : Dell Vostro 15 3568 4GB Ram 2017
He says a tiling wm is a lot of work to configure after enthusiastically making a whole series on ricing neovim lol. Personally, I feel like both are totally worth it.
I'm a father of 2 littles. I'm in my first year of an enterprise programmer job. Time is literally worth gold to me I have so little. And yet i still rice my nixos/hyprland, roll my own neovim config, and git commit and gnu stow every dotfile to not be completely nix-reliant . I think we're all just playing on hardmode and can't stop. God I miss sleep. But at least everything looks sick
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
Agreed! I got my own custom config. I understand where u r coming from I kinda don't like using others dotfiles love configuring my own stuff
The best part is when you start nixing

Exactly the same here 😆
- "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
Yeah that was part of the issue I had. The catppuccin repo for GTK is abandoned and that theme looks decent. Lol
Will have to check out cosmic

@@typecraft_dev Dracula is close enough and it (yet) maintained.
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.
Rooting for that. I really want to have the flexibility to toggle tiling in and off
Good joke
it doesn’t look that nice currently though, hope it improves
I hope the file manager is good. Every one I've looked at in Linux so far is trash.
COSMIC has been an absolute godsend as a tool to try out and edit color schemes really fast, which i would later adapt into my i3 setup, but as a DE i feel like it looks/feels too toy-ish for my taste
i really hope it succeeds though, it looks like they're going in a really good direction with it
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!
Thanks!
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.. 😤
hah
One day...
I use both i3 and dwm. I riced each just enough for usefulness and quick access. I don't care to much about aesthetics and looks.
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
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 🥰
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
It's definitely worth the time. Just an unfortunate thing that I think pushes too many people away from linux
@@typecraft_devI think the worst part is the maintenance. I’d be fine configuring once and not having to touch it forever, but the unstable and dynamic nature of the linux desktop means a lot the tooling gets abandoned or superceded or unmaintained, which means I have to look for another alternative and configure that and so on and so forth
Discovered your channel recently. Thanks for the tutorial vids man.
Great content as always! You hit the nail on the head my friend. The struggle is real.
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
Dang I was worried for a sec there. Thanks!
@@mthalter no problem.... enjoy
This "struggle" is one of the reasons why I chose for dwm instead of a windowmanager like Hyprland, dwm just comes with a panel and systemtray (if you do that patch, which you can do automatically) and that makes it incredibly easy. The other reason why I chose for dwm, I love the so-called tag feature, it means that you can combine multiple workspaces: either showing them or putting a program on them. For example, you can easily have a program visible on 2 workspaces and combine that program with 2 different programs, 1 for one workspace and the other for the other. That way you can very easily switch which programs are visible by just pressing one keycombination. That can be a great productivity booster, for example when you need the following 3 applications open: PDF-reader, browser, editor.
oh wow, I really like the idea of being able to have the same window on multiple workspaces, but I also spent weeks configuring hyprland so switching is a painful proposition.
@@paultapping9510 That is the great thing of dwm, there is very little effort required to configure it! You just use one 'header'-file which is quite easily readable, in that file you define hotkeys (monkey sees, monkey does) and you can for example simply add the number of workspaces by adding extra elements to the array in which those are defined. It is set up to make it easy. The functionality is simply determined by which pathces you do. Maybe patching sounds scary but there really isn't much to it. You do the first and biggest patch automatically by using the patch program which already is installed on your system (type "tldr patch" if you have tldr installed) and for the other patches you simply open the diff-file in any text-editor which has proper syntax-highlighting (that makes it much easier to read it) and then simply add and remove the lines as pointed out in the diff-file. There is little that can go wrong, just backup your dwm-directory but even if you would mess that up, as long as you make mistakes dwm simply won't compile and you will keep using the older executable which will keep working exactly the same.
If you would like to get started with dwm, try for example Chris Titus Tech his dwm-config out, he started based on mine but then he went his own way with it. It is a solid starting point, I think that he has all the patches which I would recommend, some of those he added based on my recommendation.
@@paultapping9510 Anyway, that thing which you mention, that is basic functionality of dwm, you don't need to patch it for that. I have done 8 patches, 7 of those I did manually: systray, swallow, rotatestack, movestack, pertag, cfacts, resizecorners, attachaside, The systray-patch is the one which you should do automatically, it is by far the longest one, the other ones don't take much work when done manually. Of course when you do it the first time it takes longer because you still are clumsy with it but it will get easy. A one time investment of time, then you can keep using it on any system and get it setup within 5 seconds: copy 1 directory of dwm and copy 2 files for starting whatever you want to start with it, like a clipboard manager.
Bonustip: the best way to make screenshots on X11 is by combining scrot and xclip and make hotkeys for that. This includes making screenshots by drawing a rectangle.
I think it's called silent workspace. That feature exists on Hyprland too.
@@manhle1582 I don't know what that "silent" workspace is (not being called like that on dwm) but that phrase reminds me of one wonderful patch which I use which does exist on another windowmanager: it swallows your terminal whenever it can't be used. If you open a program from the terminal (there are good reasons for that) then you don't end up with half the screen being wasted. After you close that program then the terminal gets shown again.
much better without many perspective changes ! Thanks ❤❤❤
Great video. Congrats on 100k. Keep up the good work.
Hey man, just letting you know that through your videos I learned a lot, from nvim to titling window managers to ricing and now nix. You are doing some good stuff. Thanks again
I'm an arch user of 10 years, been using tiling window managers a bit longer than that.
The pain of ricing, I'll never do it again, because I switched to NixOS last month, and stylix basically needed a few lines of config in my main config, and it changed almost every app I use to catppuccin, and the few I use it didn't change, they already use my terminals colors, so they changed as well
Oh, forgot to say, stylix supports arbitrary color schemes (not just catppuccin). Or even picking colors from your wallpaper, but the latter one I think I would never use
I’ve been using arch Linux for 3 years now. Before that, I used Debian for years. I also will switch to nixos. I’ve been ricing nixos in a virtual machine. Until that I will remain on arch.
I would also like to use NixOS but because they're not FHS compliant, I'm afraid most of the software I use will not work. Sure my desktop will look great, but what is the point if I can't do work in it?
@@groff8657nixpkgs (their package repository) has _a lot_ of software already packaged, and as such it basically just works. On rare occasions the app you want to use isn't packaged, but you can make a package request at the repo, or look for how some similar programs are packaged and package your app yourself! It's by no means obvious, but with some practice it's quite doable
@@groff8657Each derivation in Nix follows the FHS, so you don't have one which can cause dependency hell and makes reproducibility impossible, but you get one for each derivation. The fact that some prepackaged software requires a FHS is not a real problem for Nix. You can either fix it at compile time, patch the binaries after the build, fix dynamic linking with Nix-LD or even just spawn a FHS for a specific app/shell with `buildFHSUserEnv`. Most of the time you, don't need to bother with these things, but once in a while you bump into this and then it's a bit of extra work. But the advantage is that you do it once and it works forever on every machine.
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.
Thank you for making this video! I just went through that pain trying to get a unified Rose Pine theme for Gnome and was thinking about trying out Hyprland, outside of the general pain of theming it, have you enjoyed using Hyprland as a whole?
yes! I have enjoyed it a lot. And the pain isn't any worse than other tiling WMs.
I did quite an amount of customisation previously and now I stick with Fedora with Gnome without even changing the default wallpaper. And.. I still love it.
Stylix and NixOS is the perfect combo to combat the theming issue
The max customisation I do is change the accent color and wallpape (gnome) ;)
I pretty much much leave everything stock! (Even terminal colors and nvim colorscheme are the default ones) I’ve changed these many times and just gave up at one point as I found myself doing these more than doing anything productive and get things done.
Linux ricing and config management/customisation tailoring to our needs is a rabbit hole and that’s the beauty of it!
Possible to get your dotfiles uploaded? Seems like a great way to start or learn more from. I have configured my own configs, since i wanted a vertical waybar, not alot of other configs has that. But would still be nice to see how you implemented with catpuccin. Thanks for a great video.👍🏻
hey I do! github.com/typecraft-dev/dotfiles
I found a new channel to follow. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
I've been ricing Hyprland with for the past few weeks and felt this video, there are a few scrpt installs that are really solid if you or anyone else wants to get a more out of the box feel in a slick hyprland environment, check out ML4W's script install, great standalone or base to get a stable hyprland session, cheeers!
Cool linux content, keep it up
Thanks will do
I went through ricing on Linux, then got a MacBook for work and installed yabai (basically a bspwn clone for Mac) and what I got is a very Linux-like workflow and an amazing default desktop environment underneath.
Yeah... Hyprland was very cool, but for now I gave up due to configuration hell, but also the immaturity of Hyprland and having to use a bunch of AUR-only packages. That's not where I want to spend my time, and GNOME "just works."
That being said, this little experiment really makes me appreciate the work that goes into KDE and GNOME.
Seeing such configuration is always awe inspiring. I kind of want to try the Hyprland but knowing how much work it needs to satisfy my needs so far always turned me off. Someday I will grow up to do this ;). For now, moving from Screen to Tmux will suffice
Thanks for the ricing intro. Btw, nice mustache, man.
You are just great. You have built all of these knowledge and made a good looking desktop. Now, can you create a distro out of it? :) So that we would not have to do all of the steps you took? It looks just fine to 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.
I have a very nice setup with Gnome with my colours changing automatically with both daylight and nightlight based on my system. It took quite some time to configure everything and find everything I needed, like you say.
0:52 not me nodding to the intro ❤
Even though I love making rice, I think it's all a bottomless hole for people without time, I know that there are dotfiles, but there is nothing better than using a configuration created and thought out by you, for a long time I designed several interfaces, but I never managed to complete one of them, because I always fell into the same thought, "where am I spending my time", I even started creating an OS with the hyprland interface by default, but if you have time left over to create something for yourself, congratulations! you just fell into an incredible world, otherwise it's just a loop that will never end...
Thank you for this video, it's a topic I've been thinking about for a long time.
In Linux,
You can customize everything ❌
You have to customize everything ✅
Your bar looks awesome!
Thank you for this video. As someone who is currently ricing it for everforest I can say catpuccin people go the easy road. 😅
Fun aside. There are so many people adopting hyprdots and don't understand what's behind it. They come to the forums and don't even know the wiki for hyprland. All those people promoting this dotfile/installer thing should link your video to show the hassle.
I am loving HyprPanel (not hyprpanel) at the moment. Its so good and comes with default themes you can change in a config panel.. with Catppuccin themes out of the box! love it! :)
COSMIC please. Tiling WM without pain. I will probably hang out a year or two on hypr, but I really hope COSMIC will deliver.
I went through this pain recently and gladly came back to... gnome. Now appreciate how awesome this is. And with tiling manager plugin from pop os it works like hyprland :)
The tiling window manager to gnome pipeline is real. I just want things to work and look and feel consistent, and only care about tiling wms insofar as they give me productivity.
But if the time spent configuring and maintaining my rice exceeds the productivity boost from a tiling environment, that’s just stupid for me. If I wasn’t using fedora sway I’d just be used fedora gnome or linux mint cinnamon.
Great video, again!
This is why I went back to KDE with Krohnkite. If I ever have to customize my config with a freaking JSON again I'll throw my PC out of the window. Krohnkite, to my surprise, works perfectly fine out of the box. No plasma crashes, great choice of layouts, full keyboard navigation working and Kwin rules take care of pesky titlebars and borders.
I would love a video on setting up a drawing tablet, that would be dope!
I love spending my whole workday configuring my setup and getting everything looking great just for an update to break something the next day 😂
Love that!
normally I'd be like... "tch, don't exaggerate," but a qt update did actually bork my config for like 3 days just the other week.
I had to use a totally vanilla and unconfigured gnome 😢
So I'm writing this from OpenBSD with cwm, and my configuration for xterm, xidle and some other standard tools (included into OpenBSD fork of Xorg) has been stable for about 15 years. There is a standard from pre-wayland times, it's called Xresources, and it works just fine. It allows exactly what you want - set up fonts and colors independently from the application development. I know Linux moved past on Xorg, but the design approach still could be reused. My biggest issue with ricing is not the effort and separate steps, it's the stability. I want to make the best configuration for me, and I want to keep it for 10, 15, 20 years, if I'm happy with it.
I use cosmic DE to generate a GTK dark theme which match my RosePine theme on Hyprland. It looks great.
Garuda Linux has a ready to use distribution with the sway WM and a cohesive gorgeous theme
I wanted kind of the same thing. A working hyprland config that looks good with almost no effort configuring. I used the ML4W dotfiles, just copied over my existing shell config and i was good to go (after changing some of the keybindings)
It would be great to have hyperpaper become part of hyprland. At least for simple wallpapers
Nailed the camera switching.
is it possible to do all the configurations whilst inside a different DE? Such as x11 or something? Then just making sure they are all saved in the correct places, or do you need to configure it from with hyprland itself?
I riced up my nvim, tmux and terminal configs, cus at the end of the day these are just 3 aplications. I wanted to try tilling window managers but honestly I cant be bothered to maintain all the little pieces it requires, i can see an update to just one part of it that can borks everything and I wasted enough time already configuring nvim, I am at my limit.
Its the reason im waiting to see how Cosmic DE turns out, cus its gonna have tilling and everything else builtin.
If you want a good tiling wm, i3 works pretty well and you only need to configure it, a lock screen, and polybar (or another x11 status bar) and typecraft has a video on both of those. I3 also comes with a default config so youre only editing that, not writing it from scratch
@@christopherwood6514 I watched his videos on i3 a while back and ran into some problems, namely flatpaks not being found by the app launcher and whatnot, so i gave up. Maybe ill try it again.
Hey I love your wallpapers --and your content lol. Where do your get the wallpapers from?
Laughs in Cinnamon with Flat-Remix Darkest Red and Simple-Circle-Yellow icon set.
Sounds nice!
@@typecraft_dev Absolutely. A truly visually integrated workspace. Riced AF.
Oh, I've been through this when I was trying to configure awesomewm last year. You barely mentioned the widgets, I couldn't find a decent one to control volume, and the bluetooth one kept glitching out, not to mention them all looking so different from each other that the final thing was just ugly. I ended up giving up, Plasma gives enough customization options and the "tiling" features aren't the end of the world, but I'm considering switching to hyprland every day. Here's a trick I learned: Plasma sets up both Qt and GTK for you when you set a color scheme, it changes all the files in the GTK directories so GTK and Qt apps all look the same even when not on Plasma. I'm thinking the secret to doing this is to run hyprland alongside Plasma, to let Plasma do the configs and possibly use it's apps too but never log into it, just use hyprland. The day I figure out how to put Plasma widgets on Waybar is the day I switch to hyprland.
As said in maybe other comments, just use nix and use stylix for your ricing, it makes things so easy to have consistent color scheme everywhere and fonts and the rest.
I made a Sway config a while back, but I got back to gnome because I don't have time to fix all the little details
Could you consider featuring multi-monitor setups in the next episode of Hyprland series? That would be very helpful..
I just laughed my sht at the title, lmao. I left Hyprland because of how buggy it is, now I use sway and I'm happy.
With my limited time I had to choose: Get good at ricing, or get good at programming.
Needless to say, I'm now using MATE
how does your terminal look like that? i tried to do that myself but i could only change the color of the text and couldn't put it in a bubble like yours
Next video I’ll show it off
And then you also have Qt applications, and different formats for mouse cursors, and on top of everything you have flatpaks. I have something decent looking, but I've had to purposefully stop trying to match everything (KeePassXC still using default colorscheme, which is terrible) just so I could actually use my computer for what I need.
Thirty-one years ago, I had the same enthusiasm for configuring Fvwm on Linux 0.96 in a Slackware distribution ;-) Now I prefer something more convenient and, above all, consistent. I plan to eventually switch to Wayland and am waiting patiently for Cosmic Desktop ;-)
You only have to do it once. Just upload your configs and make a script to clone and make.
I understand that ricing is a slippery slope and that the space has been entirely consumed by it, but once you get something you like you're done.
I use an almost entirely stock dwm, almost entirely default kitty, and an almost entirely default lazyvim, which takes a script 45 seconds to clone, patch, and compile.
Love the sound of your keyboard, do you mind telling us what keyboard you use?
amzn.to/3YgZMYn -- HHKB Type S!
Framework review when?
YES I have one planned. definitely coming soon!
The sad thing is there has been a standard way to set styles... xresources/xdefaults, but so many projects had to do it some other way.
if you want to spend less time ricing you can use an arch based distro like endeavouros for instance which will give you tiling windows management with a nice look out of the box.
Still an undergrad in CSE. I think I leant more while messing with my system configs then any other course I have taken, Yes it takes lot of time but its the best productive procrastination there is
You can use rofi-wayland that allow you use rofi in wayland natively
For a GTK catppuccin theme, I'd suggest using Colloid-theme which supports different colors schemes including catppuccin.
Wofi docs suck it almost got no docs other than man-pages but I was able to do my custom Wofi theme by using same CSS variables from the Waybar catppuccin theme... I use nixos btw.
What's your keyboard? It sounds so good
HHKB Type S! amzn.to/3C8iLwP - been using this thing for ten years!
currently ricing hyprland, biggest issue I have right now that there's too many options for everything. need to spend like an hour deciding which status bar should i go with, or which notification daemon should I choose.
I’ve caught you at last! We are the sons of the terminal! I am The Pain of Ricing Linux! I shall guide you to a world of anguish beyond your imagination where dependencies never end and kernel panics are your constant companion. Let’s get started, and may the bees of broken packages sting you forever
- The Pain
Yeah I am just starting now to try and do this, and I thought I would install HyDE to start with. I like a lot of the stuff it does, but it just seems to obfuscate all the actual configuration files. So I think if I start off with HyDE and try to modify it to make it the way I want then I am mostly learning HyDE and how they do things.
So I am think I am going to bite the bullet and try and do it from scratch. Hopefully your video series will help. :D
given the major attempts to theme gtk4 are now abandoned maybe we should credit the gnome team for officially not supporting theming
re: Wofi being a mess, you might be able to use Rofi instead! Theres a fork with Wayland support, packaged in the main Arch repos as "rofi-wayland"
Or use fuzzel
The things is, imagine doing all that work and then with the simple change of a wallpaper theme, everything goes to 💩 and you now have to edit every single program on your system again to look nice with such wallpaper. Basically, before any rice, you have to commit to a color scheme first.
if you're comfortable with manual ricing and some scripting and you like changing color themes a lot it shouldn't be that hard to make a script that replaces colors over all of your config files using a theme you define in whatever format in one place
Hyprland actually is a good thing. Some people really love to tinker to get their desktop exactly how they want. For years, being crippled by rigid desktop environments was frustrating. Let the end user types use those restrictive desktop environments and let the tinkerers have their tiling WM toys.
that’s why i am back on mac for now. was tinkering instead of just doing
Being new to Linux and having conversations on different forums I find that there are a few problems with Linux as you pointed out:
Someone can make great software but there is no standard. If you put up a post and ask "Why doesn't all Linux apps conform to CUI 2.0 standards? " you may end up getting beat up. STANDARDS? We use Linux because there are no standards. (stupid comment IMHO) As a result you may have 3 or more ways just to copy and paste something!!! Go deeper into config files and you are walking out into the desert of the wild, wild west. Each developer wants to do what he/she wants to do and standards be damned. And THAT is one of the reasons Linux remains in the background. And yet, with a few changes, a few standards, and a guideline of what every application should have and you end up with a better, greater operating system.
Starting using vim keybinds in my ide a few weeks ago and I love not having to use the mouse so I’m really really considering switching to a tiling wm. The only problem is I’m in school and I can’t have a half functional laptop for a week
Omakub takes all this stress alway
I use Rofi instead of wofi. Docs are better and it still works pretty good in wayland. Only caveat, the windows menu won't work out of the box. I had to create my own
Iirc I've also had window selection broken at some point but since I last installed a wm I just run "rofi -show window" and it works, must have been fixed
@@rjawiygvozd I think there's a warning for some protocol compliance on that windows menu documentation. Maybe it is a hyprland thing...
Stupid question but are you running linux on your mac?? @typecraft
Ngl this video has good timing, as just 3 days ago I moved from Hyprland back to Plasma 6 because of this very issue. It's already difficult enough to get your rice to look nice, but when updates start breaking things it becomes a cat and mouse game to find what broke and why, how to fix it, then only have it broken again in a future update.
Case in point, 2 months ago KDE apps like Dolphin stopped following my custom Qt theme I'd configured with qt6ct and kvantum and they also stopped following my custom icon theme (Papirus dark btw). I never managed to find a fix for it so I just rolled with it. But then last week Qt theming broke even worse and now all Qt 6 theming is broken and I just get a default white theme for Qt 6 apps. Meanwhile KDE Qt apps still have their hardcoded default theme, but they have no icons whatsoever.
Then there's also the fact that on NixOS some apps for configuring GTK themes like nwg-look don't work in NixOS's unique directory structure and try to look for installed themes in places that don't exist. So I have to manually make symlinks in my home dir to allow nwg-look to find the proper themes from there.
Then there's also the fact that some of my custom scripts to implement functionality such as volume increasing/decreasing with a notification and some animations when I press a hotkey occasionally break after an update. Though tbf this is mainly my fault for using an unstable scripting language that changes quickly.
Of course I have had other issues in the past. I've used Hyprland for 7 months after all. But I mostly tolerated them, even one particularly bad problem where on some Hyprland versions my OBS recording would randomly freeze on an arbitrary frame until I re-select the source game window and thus I had to constantly switch between my game and OBS while playing and recording to check if I had to fix it in real time.
So at one point I just decided I didn't want to keep up with all these changes and to be constantly on the lookout for major or subtle breakages on every update. I went back to Plasma 6 where I don't have tiling nor can I configure even some basic stuff like moving the freakin OSD volume notification to the corner of the screen instead of the center. But at least I don't have to deal with all the aforementioned pain points. And I can apply some of what I've learned from Hyprland to improve upon my former workflow before trying Hyprland. E.g. I can use virtual desktops whereas previously I never touched them and I can simulate submaps by making a shortcut that runs a script that expects a single key input and then runs a command based on the key.
All in all, I realized that while I like having a riced up system, I don't have the will to maintain it forever and ultimately prefer stuff to just work.
EDIT: just to be clear and explicit, I love Hyprland and its workflow. It was my first tiling WM. However, I don't like the unstable and error-prone environment in which I must run it. I suppose this makes me the perfect candidate for Cosmic when it's released, huh?
The best tiling WM is KDE+tiling kwin script(e.g. krohnkite). Everything working out of the box including panel, widgets(including sound mixer and network manager), system settings, file manager etc, and the tiling experience is basically flawless.
I used DWM in the past which i loved, i configured it hardly and still functionality was lacking badly. KDE setup is MUCH better, if you want simple tiling wm then just use KDE, i insist.
NGL, as much as I enjoyed my time Ricing with nix, it would be nice to be able to get a nice tiling window manager interface without having to spend hours setting up the system.
I left nix and hyprland for arch and gnome just because there were so many weird issues that I did not have time to work around. I'm rather sad about this because nether gnome nor kde seem to have good implementations of hyprland style tiling.
Hoping cosmic fills this niche when it comes out of alpha.
yeah I've been hearing good things about cosmic as well
@@typecraft_dev I also just found out that it is apparently possible to integrate hyprland and lxqt so I might try that until cosmic releases
Hyprdots has been a joy
We should standardized the configuration format in linux tooling
The contenders are YAML, JSON and TOML.
IMO TOML is the best of both YAML and JSON.
I also want to add configuration should never have logic.
TOML for default configuration file format in linux gor tool configuration
The best configuration files are in programming languages. I think recently apple released a configuration format that allows logic, so I didn't know why you are against that.
Yaml toml are good for less advanced programs. Json is the worst because it doesn't allow comments.
@@007arek yeah lua is being used in wezterm and neovim as a plugin and config language. Apple's Pkl is also great but the question is scripting and config should remain different. For example in web development CSS, JavaScript are different.
