Yes, its near the same like niri but it has also rounded corners and blur.

And so is umbriel.
Try out umbriel. It’s like the gap between niri and hyprland and is from the noctalia dev.
This one, only hard work is to add your services/apps, some of them are easy like immich and some are strange like beszel. Anyway the docs of pocketID have a lot of guides for different services.

3·29 days agoLook what apple did with BSD. That’s what they will be for Linux.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Microsoft Releases Microsoft Defender For The Linux Desktop
13·1 month agoI wouldn’t be surprised if this is just the beginning. Microsoft is making its tools Linux-compatible and is quietly, turning Windows into a desktop environment for the Linux kernel. They probably don’t even need to tell their users about it. Surprise, WSL is everywhere now!
Beszel & Pangolin.
Actually happy with Umbriel + Noctalia. Last straw to KDE is I prefer QT over GTK.
I don’t care. Linux distros will always be available in all variants and fit for whatever you are in.

Linux@lemmy.ml•KaOS 2026.09 Released with Dinit, Niri, and Noctalia 5.1
3·2 months agoI have fond memories of KaOS; I really liked the idea of using only one desktop and then building it to perfection. Switching to niri/noctalia and dinit is a power move.
Me searching distrowatch for new hopping. Found Omarchy, read it’s a single Dev, leave immediately.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are the worst distro-specific problems you have faced?
8·3 months agoFedora Selinux, I mean, yes security is important. But how often is it in the way. In docker my mounts always need a :z and other stuff. Switched back to Debian. Apparmor doesn’t need this finetuning and just works.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Steam Deck owners: does SteamOS have any advantages over Bazzite?
122·3 months agoMaybe it’s arch based? Tested bazzite and found it overhyped, I don’t think a immutable flatpak solution is the best for gaming. I use CachyOS on steam deck and love it’s easy setup (easy for an arch user).
Yay, bindsym, good to see i3 again, Bad that I switched to KDE, but there is an equivalent. Anyway it’s a habit changer. And Lemmy is the perfect place for your app, because here are the last people that know how to change habits nowadays. I’ll give it a chance again. Default search engine is a good starting point for me.
I set hister up for a while, completely forget about it and checked it again after reading this Lemmy post. Well there are now 6.600 pages and 480 MB RAM usage.
Looks like I need to integrate hister more into my web usage. But maybe I need some training. It isn’t possible to setup hister as my default search engine in browser with automated fallback to normal Meta-search with whatever engine? And I use login credentials maybe a faster way like passkey possible in the future?
Don’t judge me, but I setup a minetest server and let my children use luanti and told them this is Minecraft.
Nope, okay I fiddle more with complex scenarios than ever before with windows. But I never lost files/progress than I lost with windows bluescreens. And since everything is open source and documented. There is always a way to find a solution, even if its a reddit post 12 years ago.

Linux@lemmy.ml•PorteuX 2.7 claims it is faster than CachyOS and may be the fastest Linux distro yet
3·5 months agoI switched from bazzite to CachyOS on my steam deck, never gonna change to another again. CachyOS is simply the best.





Linux phones? PostmarketOS is alpine-based. And a lot of people may ssh to their phone.
