Dumbest person I know also happens to be a super nice, always happy, and also very attractive. She’s never struggled to get work ever, even for her dream job as a teacher when she had to take her foundational English and Math exams three times.
I would say she has a better life than the majority of people, never had a day of stress ever as everything has always worked out for her.
Redhat 4.1 back in 97. I even purchased the CD from PC World, seems wild now to buy a CD/DVD of a distro.
First PC I installed it on was a work laptop, had to compile a bunch of kernel modules and then the kernel to get everything working but get everything working I did, Thinkpads being good for Linux even then.

Do they speak Spanish? The English version of them make no effort to learn to speak Spanish, or integrate outside their own communities, then make videos about people doing that who go to England.
Another starship user. Mostly want it to summarise useful stuff for folders pulled from git or whatever so it’s pretty plain rest of the time. I use the same on all my boxes

Ive said repeatedly that its certain to be an issue with their setup I have even provided proof that its not typical.
Its just a terminal applies to pretty much every type of application. There are lightweight WM, text editors, terminals, etc. etc. for a reason.
I can run my current setup with its 2 different animated 4k wallpapers and all the over shit I have running on my old 4800u that is only slightly slower and it consumes an insane amount of CPU at idle. Just because you can does not mean you should.
Its six years old, that’s starting to get on a bit now for a processor that was never anywhere near top of the line from AMD when it was new.
I think if you are trying to bling our your desktop and not expecting it to impact performance from an older, less powerful setup then generally speaking you are going to have a bad time. You should be pitching your desktop experience based on what your hardware can handle, there are plenty of terminal options available depending on what you need, just like there are plenty of WM/DMs if you have a lower spec machine.
Having said that, it was pretty damn obvious that there something wrong with ghostty on their setup, and its misleading to say that ghostly is just bad because of that.
Its a bit slower than Alacritty for my use case, not massively enough, but enough to put me off. The extra functionality such as its TMUX stuff I just do not need. I think if you want a more fully featured terminal, particularly if you do a lot of code writing in the terminal, then I would pick Kitty.
I only really do quick remote editing in the console so its not important for me, and I do not want TMUX as I use a tiling WM. Terminal launch speed is particularly important to me because of this.
I haven’t tried foot yet, that is meant to be good for wayland and as I use Sway it might be better fit. I would need to get frustrated with Ghostty before I could be bothered to switch, which is what happened to me with Alacritty over image support, shallow as that sounds.

Yeah thats what I would call old now, lol.
There is 100% something wrong with your Ghostty.
Heres a shitty gif I made to show you how fast Ghostty, Alacritty and Konsole is on my PC, all way less than a second and I am running a ton of background crap including different 4k animated wallpapers. Gif
Something wrong there, Ghostty is just as quick for me. Are you using an older PC?
Both load for me in milliseconds, even with fastfetch stuck in my startup.
I recently switched from alacritty to ghostty as I wanted image support as ghostty implements the kitty protocol for it. Ghostty seems as fast as alacrity to me, but with better support. It even has a tmux type replacement, although I haven’t used it as I don’t need it with sway doing that for me.
If you are the person asking the floating window question from the other day as JustAnotherKay spotted, then this is how I set a window to floating in my config;
for_window [title="www.youtube.com" app_id="firefox"] floating enable, resize set 1280 720 , opacity 1
What this is doing is selecting any firefox app that has www.youtube.com anywhere in the title and make that floating, with a set size, and remove any opacity (transparency) that might be applied to the window.
You can add move absolute position 0 0 on the end if you want to set the absolute location for the window.
You can force a window to a particular workspace by:
assign [class="discord"] workspace number $ws2
and that workspace to a particular monitor with:
workspace $ws2 output DP-1
If I wanted to do this for all firefox windows I would just remove the title= part from the selection.
How do you get the titles and other components? Using swaymsg as follows:
swaymsg -t get_tree
this will output all your open windows per monitor, for each app you want to manage you are looking for something like:
#15: con "#tech-talk🖥 | 40% Keyboards - Discord" (xdg_shell, pid: 6260, app_id: "discord")
from here you its simple to pick up what you can use for a unique select, so app_id:=“discord” in this case.
If you reload your config file, then reopen the app, it should reflect the changes you made to the config file. Logging on and off in the worst case will restart it.
Mosaic and Lynx on Sun workstations was how I started as well. Back then, there was a ton of open ftp access as well, wild.
Sway let’s you float and overlap windows. Also for both tiled and floating windows you can set the size, position, workspace and monitor by the app id (e.g., firefox) or part of the title (e.g., lemmy).
Yeah roll your own everything even greeter is the way forward if you want to customise.
I used to use gnome and I am heavily into customization. I gave up using gnome as they would constantly change things often for no real reason that whimsy, breaking previously working scripts, extensions and so on so I stopped using it. Its fine if you want to customize the basics like wall paper but I really wouldn’t bother for in-depth customization. Not because it isn’t possible, but because maintenance of it is a PITA.
Yeah I added bluetooth in mine, it’ll show me whats connected on hover and just launch the gnome app for bluetooth if I click it, super lazy implementation. I don’t need brightness controls so never looked at them.
EOS seems to use mako for notifications? I have never tried it.
I use swaync, which once themed and the rights bits you want, added, is ok. I wanted something more like the Gnome notification drop down that had do not disturb, media player controls, extensible menus, etc. in it.
The EOS files look a great place to start.
Do you default your apps to start on a particular workspace?
I did Samsung dex for a while, its ok as long as you don’t want low level access to what you connecting to.
Now I switched to a gpd micropc 2 and its built in ethernet, sd card, usb a and c sockets and native linux make it so much more useful. No longer do i need dongles or other rubbish.
Plus it will do multiple monitor support, something dex struggles with. The keyboard is a little small for touch typing but the former factor is worth the trade of for me.
