I wanted to get a feel for everyone’s thoughts on desktop environments (or window managers if you don’t use a DE). I’m new to Lemmy, so apologies if this is too low-effort a post.

Personally I’m running KDE on my main computer, but I have an Arch virtual machine I use for more experimentation. That VM has seen KDE, i3, and will probably see hyprland at some point soon

Sway. I look around every few months but nothing usually, um, erm pendulates my interest. I have hyprland installed...but my config file breaks with every update, and it's rice first, function later. I'm an opposite-ricer. I like to strip all decorations.

I just started using sway as well! Care to share any tips, tricks, or your favorite config snippets?

Just keep the config file(s) handy and always be playing with them. Join IRC #sway@Libera. Oh...and you can use the majority of the i3wm docs outside of anything doing with output or input. While I love man pages...I prefer web content for my docs.
