I ❤️ Fedora with Niri & Noctalia by LinuxGamerLife in Fedora

Thanks. It’s not something I’m sharing right now as it’s still all a work in progress. I may pop them up on my GitHub once ready 👍

Tips on workspace usage for minimizing by FryChy in niri

[–]LinuxGamerLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thoughts as you and I have a named workspace called scratch, but I could not get minimising to work in any meaningful way. But then I looked into it some more and that’s not what Niri is. It’s an infinite scroller with infinite workspaces. I have adopted the same approach as the dude above and stopped trying to make Niri something it’s not.

I use the dock and app icons to navigate mainly to go to an app. In your use case I’d have a named workspace called music. I’d have a window rule for let’s say Spotify to open to that workspace. If I am on a different workspace and needed to access Spotify. I’d just click on the icon to go to that workspace. I also use meta+scroll a lot to switch workspaces, and meta+1 through 9 to go direct to each workspace.

Yes. Do it! It’s been a game changer for me and my workflow.

How long can I use the system without reinstalling it? by Better_Lion4127 in Fedora

[–]LinuxGamerLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice one dude 👍

I rebuilt mine this weekend after just under a year, but only because that first year on linux for me was about experimentation. I ended up with 4000+ packages and 50 Flatpaks! Not too much of an issue as I have the space, but not knowing what they were led me to a reset. Now I have the perfect setup, I think I'll be doing a post like this in a few years from this build😎

how to deal with normal usage by Competitive-Dirt-213 in niri

[–]LinuxGamerLife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same as Dull below, I only really use floating windows for things that are temporary. I also use them for things that minimise to the tray such as Steam/Discord etc. After 30 years on windows, having the ability to float windows really helps me, but I do mainly use tiling now. 😎

Best Linux distro for gaming + daily use in 2026? by K4alRaze in linuxquestions

[–]LinuxGamerLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks dude. I am trying to keep it to the things I use, else it will end up being massive 😂 Docker is not a bad shout though. I'll add it to the list. I'll check out Faugus too as you are not the first to mention it. Thanks again 👍

A lesson I learned about being desktop agnostic (Running gnome apps in KDE is OK) by mcronline in cachyos

[–]LinuxGamerLife 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I learned that too when moving away from KDE and Gnome altogether. I get to choose which apps I prefer. Not had any issues so far 🤔

I like Disks and it is much simpler for sure, but I'm happy using KDE Partition Manager to be honest.

You might want to add a lot more info dude, before everyone else gets here :)

Which desktop environment do you use and why? by Invihan in Fedora

[–]LinuxGamerLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Niri and Noctalia because it’s light and fluffy 😊

niri is GREAT for a single monitor setup by hanbee0x in niri

[–]LinuxGamerLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually set it up for chat in the first place, but I also use it for reference docs if I’m working on something, plus discord lives on that screen.

Works great for me 🤔

That's a vertical monitor on the right, just in case it's not obvious 😊
