Thanks Matt!

This was a fascinatiing series. I appreciate all the time you put into it.

Cool. A guy could learn a lot from these scripts. Thanks.

Thanks. I have almost a plain fluxbox in my desktop and for sure this video will help me to improve it while learning a thing or two. You and J@L are my favorites youtubers!

Ive always been hesitant at trying a tiling wm cause my brain is too smooth to configure it, but thanks to your script I finally tried to use a tiler although I wont do anything fancy for now.

Awesome. Great work !! 🔥

Great vid, Drew! And a cool script of course, nice to walk through those options. And the styling (even qtile) doeas appeal. Installed that picom straight away for dwm ;-) Cool one, thanks!

Thank you so much for your hard work and making this available for us to learn from. Currently experimenting with DWM. Trying to determine how to change the date format to 24-hr as tends to be preferred by us Europeans.

If you are using my customized dwm, you need to edit the config.def.h in the ~/.config/suckless/slstatus directory. Change the line: { datetime, "^c#FFFFFF^ %s", "%l:%M %p " }, to { datetime, "^c#FFFFFF^ %s", "%H:%M " }, then run these commands in terminal: cd ~/.config/suckless/slstatus rm config.h make sudo make clean install pkill slstatus super + shift + r (to restart dwm)

@@JustAGuyLinux Your scripts allow me to learn more about bash scripting, but also, have inspired me to write my own for my i3 setup. Which enables me to setup i3 on different machines I that I have. Also, using your script, I am working on a script to set up tmux on remote Linux servers I work with. I really appreciate your efforts, content and the channel.

Great script!

That was a lot of work. Thanks!

The sheer effort is immaculate. I have to ask why you didn’t just use nix-shell or NixOS

I've been around long enough to have had an arpanet ID before it was shuttered (NTS). I've shied away from Linux as I had a nasty taste of SunOS. But I really need a Linux laptop in my home shop. I followed your debian install with timeshift and couldn't be happier. That was an awesome process with an even better result! I struggled a bit (on my own) to get a cinnamon look to my desktop to something usable... for me. Now you've come out with a very useful product that can standardize key-bindings...which may make me use timeshift hard the next couple of weeks..... damn you! ;-)

I honestly say I truly appreciate the time you put into doing this. I have been trying to set up bspwm and i3 wm for the last couple weeks. I've been using bspwm for awhile (couple of years) but I can't seem to get 2 windows horizontal top/bottom like in i3. So I have been working on both to see which I like more. Anyway, I installed all the wms you had at the end of the video tonight. They installed find and seem to work good, except for openbox. I get an error when I try to right click on the desktop. It says it can't find a file or folder obmenu-generator. I did try to install in on virtualbox so that might be part of the problem. Again thanks for all of your time. :} Oh yeah I have been using Super-Shift-Q to quit the desktop but linked it to the power script you have to choose exit/reboot/shutdown. thanks

With regard to you bspwm, if you want vertical windows, uncomment the line # bspc rule -a "*" split_dir=east located in the ~/.config/bspwmrc. Then restart bspwm: super + shift + r This will give you vertical tiles. Also, these tiles will not be equally sized when there are 3 or more tiles on 1 workspace. If you want this functionality, you must manually resize. However, I have a keybind: super + equal that resizes everything equally. Hope this helps.

@@JustAGuyLinux OMG Thanks so much. Previous to using Debian the last 2 years I had been using Arcolinux for over 5 years. I loved using Arco but Arch was updating too much. I don't need to be on the latest of anything. I learned a lot but obviously enough to get into trouble not enough to get out of it all the time. I thought I was able to do it before but couldn't figure it or find the answer on the web. I always thought it was my key bindings, never thought about the bspwmrc. It got to be a mental thing. But now I think I will use your script on metal and try figure out how they are customized. Once again..Thanks

Slamming. Looks like you removed sway, I got inspiration from your sway script and started my own fork from your repo that has been growing into a dozen mini scripts 🙏

I am guessing "yes" but have never tried it.

I’ve never heard of the term “stacking window managers”. Did you mean floating window managers? Please explain.

The term "stacking" and "floating" window managers can be used interchangeably. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_window_manager
