@rose @BasiqueEvangelist i think it should be lightweight and not rely on odd keybinds

@rose i can't believe KDE is currently in the lead (as far as I can see at least)

@luna@goof.boo @rose@snac.pinkro.se went all the way back to november amd couldnt find any signs of claude commits . afaik everyone involved with niri does not like llms , a loose policy doesnt necessarily imply "slop"

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @rose@snac.pinkro.se afaik niri has a loose LLM policy and already has Claude commits merged

@rose i ran it with cwm for a little bit but the monitor configuration thing freaks the fuck out when a monitor disconnects and ive got them set to turn off automatically if they've been in sleep mode for a while

admittedly im thinking about turning that off cause most window managers dislike this and will move all my windows to whichever one i turn back on first. also having my monitors light up when theres movement should force me to power down my desktop more regularly. i just dont enjoy doing that cause i have to bend down under my desk to turn it back on and its annoying

@rose@snac.pinkro.se something custom based on labwc would be neat

@rose lxqt is fun because you can totally combine it with any x window manager or wayland compositor you want. iirc the wayland default *is* labwc

@rose xfce with labwc ?

Reply to Fedi! on Sun, 19 Apr 2026 21:31:15 GMT

luna@goof.boo — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 21:31:15 GMT

@rose@snac.pinkro.se possibly hyprland? Or mangowm (as an alternative to slop niri)?

Your list is very good overall, kudos :3

I personally tend more to xfce or kde, simply because I think a "traditional" desktop would be better than a tiling WM
