Suckless video, keep it coming. If that interests you, I would like to learn more about Multimonitor possibilities/problems/solutions. Also daily worklife hurdles and solutions like presenting via beamer and the problems that occur, like connecting to unknown wifi, like with netctl and wifi-menu and wdisplay workflows like detect new display on the fly and offer a solution. Thanks
Brilliant video 😎 My setup is the classical dwm and st terminal. Lately, I have been thinking about giving Wayland a try; obviously, I'm more inclined towards dwl rather than Hyprland, even though I might try them both. I use elogind on Gentoo with OpenRC, no issue with that. My question is, which terminal emulator would you suggest or recommend as a substitute for st? Is the foot thing any good? I definitely want ligatures and transparency in my terminal.
Been using foot ever since I switched to wayland and it's pretty solid. It supports transparency but I am not sure about the ligatures. There is also another project I came across a while back, called wayst, but it was experimental.
I too am a dwm user on Void Linux. More coverage on Wayland and Xorg equivalents would be helpful. Have you found any helpful resources regarding Wayland? Thanks.
dwm with some custom patches, sxhkd, dunst, redshift, and some custom (cover your eyes) systemd services to notify me of upcoming tasks and reminders from taskwarrior and some mqtt topic changes. Considering Void as systemd is the worst crap I've had to waste time on, and incredibly enough it keeps getting worse. Not bothering with Wayland yet, probably. Don't really see the point. Lots of packages that require X so you'll bloat your system with that old stuff soon enough 🤷🏼♂️✌️
As a user of several complex input methods, who's been using the exact same cut-down dwm (no deco, no bars, no borders, no offsets) since I was a teenager, I'm rooting for dwl... but it's still pretty busted, particularly with input methods and display configuration. For whatever reason, my 165Hz monitor advertises 60Hz as its preferred mode, and there are timing issues with running wlr-randr during startup. It's also just missing some weird stuff like corner snapping by default, and doesn't quite work as-is with my patches. When it's fairly usable with a bit of configuration, I'll probably be going there, but not yet.
I haven't tried with dinit. But because dwl is just a window manager with no background services running, I'd imagine it would work just fine especially if you start dwl straight from a virtual terminal.
@@WesleyAda Yeah, sorry, this was a dumb question. It took a minute before I realized that DWM / DWL expects you to to understand things like XKB codes (which, honestly, I'm surprised they do anything when this obviously doesn't involve X?) and to just read the config file until you get it. I like the suckless philosophy but not so much that they explicitly say "this keeps stupid people away". That... really shouldn't be the goal.
I would love to see how do you setup statusbar. I am very interested by this window manager because I love DWM.
The 'community' repo is now known as 'extra'. If you're bored, I'd like to see you setuping the yambar :)
Great video: short, sweet, to the point.

Great suggestions. I second this
Im distro hopping in hope of finding a wifi stable distro. I stopped with arch lts, seems fine, but i may try gentoo to be less resources heavy

Using it with NixOS would custom patches make it dificult?
What’s the ram usage with this config on idle?
Font size must be larger will give what is happening?
How did you manage pipewire to make it work?
artix is the best distro in my books
i like Arch Linux
I use gentoo btw
btw i use void Linux
Alpine for everything
Consider void linux
Broke once I installed wlroots which wouldn’t actually install but instead install its documentation only and add itself to the pkg list 😢
Nice video but when I started using dwl my firefox is not running I searched everywhere didn't find anything doesn't this happened with you to ??
The Arch wiki says that you need to set the variable MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 for a Wayland session...
@@renegomez2274 I did that even after that it's not working for me 😔
I think I'm going back to Xorg it's much stable for me for atleast next 3yrs I'd say
Tried dwl again?
@@longiusaescius2537 naa I thought I will just stick to Xorg probably for some years now sry bro
Do a video on installing velox pllzzzz
hi, which keyboard do you have ?
Great tutorial! Thanks!
Hey, just a quick question, I'm using the same distro but dinit, will it change anything major to the downloading process? Or even corrupt it at all?
I haven't tried with dinit. But because dwl is just a window manager with no background services running, I'd imagine it would work just fine especially if you start dwl straight from a virtual terminal.
...How did you kill dwl and go back to the terminal itself?

@@WesleyAdahave u tried single gpu passthrough, if yes,
Was it hard to config?
It was Alt+Shift+Q for me
nicely done!

gpasswd -a user group seams simpler and less destructive than usermod can be.
fix your video description. it says "dwl is dwm for windows", kekw
Thanks for catching that!

Small trick: hit ZZ in vi to save and quit instead of :wq
It's a lot faster and easier
Nevaaah!
:wq
what's wrong with:
:x
@@manw3bttckst you have to press shift, ; and x. with ZZ, you just have to do shift and hit z twice and both of them are close by. Makes it very fast
