• New to Linux and qtile, need help.

  Try python -m py_compile ~/.config/qtile/config.py first. You can find this from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Qtile#Installation which you should be using as your main resource along with qtile.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• Free/Total Disk Space Widget?

  I was just curious if there is a Qtile widget that would show how much space I have left on my SSD. I looked through the Qtile widgets on qtile.org and couldn't seem to find anything like this which is actually kind of odd to me. Source: over 1 year ago

• I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)

  I have been using fluxbox[1] for many years now, happily. It's a very barebones thing (in a good way) while also being highly configurable — customizable keyboard shortcuts, menus, scriptability, etc. It is not a tiling WM. It also doesn't have desktop icons by default. I thought I would miss those, but have found I do not. There are options[2] to add that if you want it. So, my setup is ~8 virtual... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• I'm so undecided about desktop environments, which one should I choose and why are you recommending it? I need a stable, customizable one.

  If you want to customize in detail your desktop and are not afraid to edit text files, awesome and fluxbox can be your option. Source: about 1 year ago

• What's the good window manager for a beginner?

  As far as wms go, I always liked fluxbox and xmonad. Openbox has its fans, and i3 is very popular. I prefer a de over a wm but I know a lot of people use i3. Source: about 2 years ago

• What is your development setup (IDE, gems, library, ci/cd etc) for RoR/non-RoR applications development ?

  Linux (Fedora), gvim (because it opens a new window instead of taking up yet-another-terminal-tab), fluxbox (because it has awesomely configurable hot-key support), dotfiles, chruby + ruby-install (with rubies installed into /opt/rubies), bundler + rspec + yard + rubygems-tasks + gemspec_yml + GitHub Actions on all of my Ruby projects.

• Any tips to speed up gnome?

  You can use cinnamon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon_(desktop_environment)) Should work a bit better not perfected. If you are on a potato run fluxbox imo. http://fluxbox.org/. Source: over 2 years ago
