    Way to go reinterpreting a meme just by posting it in another community! ๐Ÿ‘

    The stupidest system is always the one I didn't build myself. ๐Ÿ˜ค

    I say this in the engineering sense. I didn't build capitalism please don't hate me.

    Keep breaking my system while trying to fix bugs, then fix or reinstall, distro-hop when I'm out of bugs, call it permanent revolution.

    If it ain't broken it ain't got enough features yet.

    I think they meant "systemd" but autocorrect changed it to "system"

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

    systemd: I am the system!

    Linux: not yet.

    about a week prior to KDE6 dropping, i woke up and decided that i must aggressively delete KDE entirely, and move over to i3wm.

    I missed the KDE6 fiasco, and am a very happy boy now. Fuck managing windows, floating window managers were a mistake.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Haven't heard anything about a fiasco, the KDE 6 upgrade went smoothly for me. I just use Polonium for my auto-tiling needs.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

    i've seen at least one person talk about it, and two people discussing it. These kinds of things tend to be very hit or miss, some people get imploded, others see literally nothing happen. And a few will have very weird minor breakages.

    One nice thing about KDE compared to most of the other DEs is that the window manager (kwin) is separate from the underlying components, and it can be replaced!

    There are many walkthroughs like this one out there: https://github.com/heckelson/i3-and-kde-plasma

    You get i3 for tiling window management but you still get to use KDE's system settings to do configuration like display settings, themes keyboard shortcuts, etc, just like you did before. You can also pick and choose which parts of the KDE desktop you want to keep (menu, krunner, etc)

    Since i3 is just a window manager and is lacking all of that system level stuff it really rounds out i3 to feel like a full DE instead of having to piece together other tools to do those things.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

    i've heard about this, never looked into it because it was about the same effort as just using a dynamic tiling WM anyway. Sounds like it would only be funkier if i did replace it.

    even then 90% of what has annoyed me since switching is theming, which is pretty self contained already. So that's easy enough to fix, except for QT theming because it just has to break everything that exists.

    But yeah, it's cool having this be a thing in linux for sure.
