Has anyone played around w/ Hyprland just yet? Its another tiling window manager that has some focuses on fancy animations combined with text elements. Configuration is done in text .conf files and its the 'new kid on the block'...

I've heard of it, Brodie Robertson uses it I believe, it's kinda similar to Sway?
I'll look into it, if it works with Nvidia well I might have a play with.
I liked herbstluft - but for no 'good' reason.. as you know, I still haven't found a TWM that I can live with... but I'm still on nano, and all. :P

Yeah yeah, we definitely need to work on getting you all VI'd and VIM'd up! =)

I just had to use it today b/c a legacy nix install - and I struggled to remember "I" and :w :q. :P

omgosh! I have the opposite problem I guess then, in everything that has text input I'm always hitting ESC followed by I to type something, and always wanna end the "thing" with :wq! :rolflmao:
I do like the idea of having a Zoom vim meetup. I do wanna learn it one day - I know how powerful vim/vi can be if you know what yer doing...
and then a whole other world if you use plugins and whatnot.

I do like the idea of having a Zoom vim meetup.
For sure that would be awesome, although I would probably use Jitsi or Matrix/Element for the video chat :P
i recommend this book to learn vim: https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Vim-Edit-Speed-Thought/dp/1680501275
i use a plain vim everywhere, no plugins whatever, because i am using it on every machine i use/administer (approx. ~50) and i don't like to
depend on things i have to install this many times :)

I'd like a .vimrc I could take with me to customize colors, otherwise vanilla vim seems to do everything I need. Word wrapping and formatting
is still a challenge for me, I'm trying to replace nano for writing text documents.
Sign me up for that - I've been working more with a shell, vim and tmux than I ever did before,and I'd love to learn in realtime.
For sure, I'm no expert on vi/vim by any stretch of the imagination, but what I have already learned and have muscle memory for, I am happy to share.

So there was a mailing list that used to send out a tip every week or so. Now that I think about it, havent seen anything from it in quite some time.
I'm a vi fan (no emacs for me) - I would be surprised to learn that I only use 1% of its functionality... :)

UPDATE:
I've now been using hyprland for the last 6 months or so full time, switched from i3(Xorg) -> Sway(Wayland) -> hyprland and omgosh I haven't enjoyed using a computer as much since the good ol' days of DOS lol.
Has anyone else tried to use hyprland? If so what are your thoughts? If not, do you think you'll give it a try?
You know that I've both built Hyprland setups and used a few decent themes. I HAD liked soldoestech's hyprv4 - but theres a new collection named Hypr-Dots that are pretty cool.
I know you always make a mL setup - how do you have it customized???
Shared your ~/.config/hyprland???
Glad you like it - I go back and forth between wanting a full WM and Hypr.
I look at all these (bloated) desktop environments coming out like
cosmic and kde plasma et al, and although on the face of them they look quite pretty, I'm just not a window clicker, and prefer running stuff
from the keyboard. It just makes much more sense for me to use a tiler.
I know cosmic has tiling in it, but it's not the same. Not to me anyway.
I agree - but users must be aware that they have to install solutions for things that they might not know how to manage... power management, sleep, hibernate, etc.
Can be done - but for users coming directly off full WMs it is a challenge.
I tried to install it locally, but got an empty background after log-in. Suppose, you need to config it prior to general use. So, I've just deinstalled it and returned to my recent wm.

But, I'm willing giving it a try in the future.

You'll want to install package kitty - the terminal that it uses. After boot you can press Super-M or Super-Q (I think???) to open terminal or quit.
There are several Hyprland themes you can install that quickly give you
a full setup - or, you can code your own. Its not for everyone - you
will get down and dirty and have to code your complete setup, helper
apps and infrastructure; but for some of us its the only way to go. :P
