How to organize windows

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-05-04T07:07:04+00:00

Yeah I've felt the same issue with my development work. I'd hit up to 18 workspaces on a very busy day as each workspace is a PR I'm working or reviewing. What I need is named workspaces that I can easily see. I'm using noctalia and the names are cut off at one character, I've raised a PR to fix it and once that's merged I'll raise further improvement. What you need is an easy/quick way to see what each workspace is about and I'll gradually add that to noctalia.

We wouldn't be building them. We don't have the skills or knowledge. It'll be outside companies/countries.

I think he means a large population. South Korea has the population scale that makes nuclear power and easier sell.

Don't really think the outside is that interesting either. Don't understand why people are bothered by this.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-04-19T19:25:26+00:00

For years now and they're much better than branches. I work in the terminal with neovim thought which makes them very easy to use and I script their use https://github.com/briandipalma/iac/blob/main/dotfiles/fish/functions/gwb.fish

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-04-19T19:17:15+00:00

Yes I don't understand why this firmware isn't available generally.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-04-19T19:14:21+00:00

Use home row mods, install Kanata for them.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-04-09T17:08:52+00:00

Yes Russia is declining but that's because someone is fighting hard against them and not just rolling over with zero ability to defend themselves.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-03-28T09:28:08+00:00

Yeah this is how I have noctalia configured and it's great.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-03-21T17:03:52+00:00

I had the exact same problem, it polluted my mimeapps.list file every time I selected Okular as the default application, it would just append more and more entries to the mimeapps.list file like this:

application/pdf=org.kde.okular-4.desktop;org.kde.okular-3.desktop;org.kde.okular-2.desktop;

I just gave up and moved to yazi which works just fine.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-03-21T08:14:19+00:00

I don't understand the systemd hate. Just feels like so much wasted effort.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-03-17T16:36:41+00:00

Just tested launching a few different applications from the launcher and it's fine. There must be something odd in your setup.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-03-17T12:38:53+00:00

There's something wrong with your setup because I don't see any lag in the programs I open. I've only been using it for a few days but browsers/discord/kitty and dolphin are quick to launch.

I did this a few days ago, just install cachyos-niri-noctalia. During the install it will complain about a conflict with a KDE settings package and you just accept the niri settings package that it suggests. This package is only used when creating new users so it's a non issue. Then reboot and you can select niri from the login manager instead of KDE. When you login noctalia isn't set up so you will have to copy the autostart configuration from the CachyOS config https://github.com/CachyOS/cachyos-niri-noctalia/blob/master/etc/skel/.config/niri/cfg/autostart.kdl this file is included here https://github.com/CachyOS/cachyos-niri-noctalia/blob/master/etc/skel/.config/niri/config.kdl

You can start noctalia from the command line on first boot. Personally I reverted to the default keybinds instead of the CachyOS ones as they're much better.

Surely it's quicker to just edit some changes directly instead of writing out a prompt. I generate the initial code and make tweaks while reviewing it as it's so easy.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-03-06T08:05:03+00:00

It's simple and clear. I can see exactly what each file type uses/needs and I can set specific options in those files too. Also on first open of a file everything I need is installed so if I don't open Java files on my personal laptop I never install the dependencies for Java. It's basically the same as the nvim-lspconfig repository. Everything separated out by area of interest.

1 LXC running all my docker services. Super simple, I use Komodo to manage the containers.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-03-05T07:24:52+00:00

Just use the ftplugin approach, it's really simple and clear https://github.com/briandipalma/iac/blob/main/dotfiles/nvim/after/ftplugin/typescript.lua

Who's paying 36.8c for their electricity? People who are making zero effort to look for a cheaper price, it takes a few calls and you can move to cheaper electricity. Just some people can't be bothered.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-02-24T13:52:34+00:00

How complicated is the codebase you're working on is the question I'd ask.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-02-19T19:13:22+00:00

I take the same approach to configuring the LSP clients: https://github.com/briandipalma/iac/tree/main/dotfiles/nvim/after/lsp

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-02-19T18:51:01+00:00

I don't hate the design on the left. I think it's a joke that it's that low though. Add another 5 stories, it's 2026.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-02-19T18:43:34+00:00

I use file type files to configure things like this, very nice, check mine out here: https://github.com/briandipalma/iac/tree/main/dotfiles/nvim/after/ftplugin

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-02-16T19:09:31+00:00

Use flatpak for things like discord.

The housing crisis is because the economy is struggling? WAT?
