I've got a refurbed thinkpad yoga in the mail. It's a stylus oriented laptop so I need to change the software I use to be more clicky.
For years I've favoured stuff like netctl, xrandr, xbacklight etc etc over GUI alternatives and usually gone for very minimal WM setups (e.g. dwm).
For obvious reasons this would be actual hell with a stylus in tablet mode, but it's been around 15 years since I last had a clicky linux setup and I'm really lost as to how to set one up on arch. What do you folks recommend for laptops?
EDIT: update for wayward souls. Went with plasma, less works nicely out of the box but gnome hung occasionally on a 2019 yoga x1. There's a lot about plasma I would say is annoying but configuring it is vastly easier than gnome.
You are posting in an Arch linux group/"community", so just... you know... compile (whatever gui you want) and set it up properly.
And before you go "b-buh WHICH" -- Hyprland. Come on, you are an arch linux user. Time to wear your big boy pants.
It's not so busy that I'm knocking good discussion off the feed :p people have opinions, and there's stuff I've just never looked at like are there say gnome widget thingies or whatever they're called for managing pacman/paccache etc?
I'm asking an arch community because obvious I specifically like arch and what that generally implies (pacman, systemd etc) and stuff that works without insane bloat.
That's not an answer to the question. Anyway, does Hyprland support touch? I've briefly tried it, but out of the box it's really unusable on a tablet. I'm looking for a tiling window manager that does support touch, including an on screen keyboard. For now I use KDE which supports touchscreens very well.
