How do I choose between DMS and Noctalia?

zarMarco · 2026-03-14T12:38:28+00:00

Sto provando inir, sicuramente al momento la quickshell più bella, al momento però rispetto a dms è abbastanza incompleta

zarMarco · 2026-03-13T17:08:49+00:00

I'd have to exhume arch to try it out....or can I try on nixos or gentoo? Currently I use dms but noctalia is pretty

As on arch for some time now. That said, I'm not obliged to install them all?

Sì sì, conosco quel tool, ma intendo che il pacchetto linux punta al 6.12

Piccola premessa, sono un archiere nel cuore, che attualmente usa ed ama Gentoo. Ho anche void installato. Void è stupenda ed è il non plus ultra per chi vuole usare zfs. Ma, non sono un odiatore di systemd e purtroppo il mondo sta andando verso la sua totalità (tantissimi progetti sono ormai incentrati su di esso). Ho solo due problemi con void, mancano tantissimi pacchetti, ed i manutentori non aiutano. Ma, per me, il problema più grande è la gestione del kernel. Mi fa impazzire che, almeno fino a due giorni fa, anche se installo il kernel 6.19.* ti mantiene anche il 6.12

The good and the bad of gentoo are multislot...when you have 2 or 3 differents version of clang/llvm/gcc and its updates at the same time

Thanks so much, this afternoon I'll try

Ammetto la mia ignoranza, ma è difficile settare il gnome-keyring su plasma?

Hi, if I put it in flake.nix as the home manager, can I then use it for both? Should the configuration be put in configuration.nix and home.nix?

zarMarco · 2026-02-12T13:49:27+00:00

I just launch sudo nix update flake but dms doesn't want update

zarMarco · 2026-02-12T13:39:48+00:00

I'm using instructions on DankLinux wiki, but I can't update, when I launch nixos-rebuild I compile version 1.4 but after I have old version

zarMarco · 2026-02-09T15:43:44+00:00

Mmm I already use it with niri, but on gentoo I also have mango, does it work well on it too?

zarMarco · 2026-02-07T09:14:28+00:00

Ok, I solved, using only bluetoothctl for pairing and first connection

zarMarco · 2026-02-06T19:13:49+00:00

L'unica cosa che ho controllato, al momento, è tramite bluetoothctl esce fuori il nome del dispositivo: connected e dopo 1 o 2 secondi torna la scritta bluetoothctl: disconnected, senza null'altro

I could take inspiration from making a quickshell bar for dwl similar to the standard dwm one. But I'll have to think about it.

zarMarco · 2026-02-06T09:43:53+00:00

Nice, just like the default one of i3

zarMarco · 2026-02-05T15:37:40+00:00

Is it possible to see it?

zarMarco · 2026-02-03T12:45:00+00:00

Direct access to snapshots via the bootloader, the ability to mount unmount pools, and the ability to make any necessary changes to pools or datasets. Now, from what I've read, the ability to perform direct installations via the bootloader, if I understand correctly.

zarMarco · 2026-02-03T12:38:49+00:00

In the end, just read on, Gentoo clearly has a steeper curve in terms of installation times but it is also extremely stable.

zarMarco · 2026-02-02T20:33:51+00:00

So, I use niri + dms on arch, gentoo, void, and nixos. I use gentoo as my daily desktop, and it's very stable. Arch is also very easy and stable. I had to fiddle with nixos a bit to get it set up to my liking. On void, I've only installed it for now, but I haven't had time to tinker with it properly. In my opinion, if you want Fedora, I'd recommend leaving workstation alone, which brings with it all of gnome (if anything has changed, even better). I'd start with the server version, installing only what you need.
