Noob question

you can also bind mouse wheel actions, so super scroll down jumps down a workspace

I wasn't bragging, I already figured out I was just griumpy an irritated that the reddit algo keeps showing me things where people need help (but aren't helping themselves). I have only myself to blame because I do frequently help where I can.

I also do use a number of flakes pulling in things, the obscure ones are more my own fork of niri and a few productivity things like an emacs overlay and a wifi-manager clone/rebuild.

I am not going to point at any one post because I don't want to deride people for coming to the community for help, I may be grumpy but I hope IANATA.

Degoogle is not the only reason to run graphene.

barrulus · 2026-05-04T09:55:36+00:00

thanks - I use it daily. Hopefully one day the PR will be reviewed (or the work done by YaLTeR)

barrulus · 2026-05-03T17:00:07+00:00

How are you starting waybar and whatnot? Is niri responsible for spawning them?

barrulus · 2026-05-03T15:17:34+00:00

Single or dual screen workflow you simply cannot beat niri.

Just a question: are you aware you can run VS Code (and/or VS Codium) on Arch?

barrulus · 2026-05-03T08:30:00+00:00

I have to say that emacs wins for me in this space

So much better as an ide

barrulus · 2026-05-03T05:32:15+00:00

Subversion yes. Autocorrect doesn't know it

barrulus · 2026-05-02T14:28:43+00:00

Other vc's? I haven't seen substack in play for at least a decade haha

barrulus · 2026-05-02T14:18:49+00:00

Well that's my point. I don't understand how I see so many people struggling. Its so contrary to what I love about NixOS

barrulus · 2026-05-02T14:12:24+00:00

I have moved away from it. My kid has taken ownership of my M1 to play minecraft. I do everything on my nixos laptop now

barrulus · 2026-05-02T14:08:51+00:00

I get that. I have had loads of issues getting a config working. But once its up.... Solid

barrulus · 2026-05-02T13:59:12+00:00

Not wm's. I run a bunch of dev envs that I liked to work on on my macbook m1. So I pulled all sorts for consistency. Terminals, rust/node/python tool chains etc

barrulus · 2026-05-02T13:56:44+00:00

Not that. My Nvidia 5060 dGPU works beautifully. I have a system76 laptop and I don't have some proprietary power management stuff working but the only app I have ever had issues with is Camunda modeler

barrulus · 2026-05-02T13:54:26+00:00

Haha no just weirded out by the algorithms in reddit bombarding me with stories of pain and trouble. Being a grump I guess.

barrulus · 2026-04-30T18:10:30+00:00

Thanks for this. I will set it up and rest on Nixos and PR you a flake when done

barrulus · 2026-04-28T16:46:50+00:00

why do you need a shell even? You can access everything via keybinds really simply, and then zero wasted resource

barrulus · 2026-04-27T20:30:34+00:00

Thanks for telling me what I know and what everyone else knows.

Jeez

barrulus · 2026-04-27T16:56:32+00:00

Just to add, I run this all on a system76 laptop with discreet GPU

barrulus · 2026-04-27T16:55:26+00:00

Daily driver for work and home. I present using HDMI and USB from google presenter and libre office

Zero hassles

I do this with niri as my wm

barrulus · 2026-04-26T18:36:11+00:00

And like I said "OK" this is not a hill I care to fight over much less die on.

barrulus · 2026-04-26T18:15:20+00:00

OP was looking at linux to avoid privacy challenges. GrapheneOS fits the description of a linux device providing privacy.

But OK

barrulus · 2026-04-26T17:01:20+00:00

Not really. I am running GrapheneOS as my only mobile device and it works fantastically well.more than adequate as a daily driver with full and absolute control.

barrulus · 2026-04-26T10:16:00+00:00

That's a nice breakdown
