I don't know why but using the "exec_always --no-startup-id ~/.config/polybar/launch_polybar.sh" script works better than "exec_always --no-startup-id polybar". After log in most times polybar doesn't start using "exec_always --no-startup-id polybar" in ~/.config/i3/config. 👍

I'm very impressed with your Linux config knowledge. I was just configuring a Debian/IceWM desktop and read in multiple sources that XServer allows any application running on your XServer desktop to access keyboard keypresses WITHOUT root access. I also read Wayland was designed to prevent every application on your Linux desktop from having the ability to become a keylogger. Are you aware of any way to prevent this non-root keylogger risk? Also, you mentioned your MAC use. Does MAC have the same problem? Not for sure if being Linux they also use XServer. Thanks.

if you guys have a higher refresh rate monitor (e.g 75hz, 144hz, 165hz, etc) and resolution, don't forget to install and use xrandr, put that on your i3 config as well.

How do you handle managing audio devices? Headphones,etc.?

I installed sway instead of i3, do you think you can replicate the same config?

Please, Is there a way to take screenshot, of a region, window or entire desktop in i3 wm.

How can I do fractional scaling in arch gnu?

How do you settle down with your setups? Like seriously, whenever I go to the unixporn subreddit I feel stupid - Other people ricing looks soo good and smooth while mine pales in comparison and then I have to start all over again with new tools and window managers only to go to the subreddit again and to find some new things...

When i try to reload the config of i3 i get an error "Error status_command not found or is missing a library dependency exit(127)" Any fix for this, sir? Edit : nvm fixed it, all we had to do was run "sudo pacman -S i3status" by default i3 set i3status as bar

Ай бұрын

I cloned the dotfiles repository into /opt/ out of habit and it created the symlink in /opt as .config instead of the ~/.config directory. Cloning the dotfiles into my home directory and running picom fixed this behavior. It's possible to manually set the target using flags in stow if you prefer to have the git repos in /opt, but I'm following the tutorial for now.

You didn't show how to configure ZSH and make it look like your prompt previously with all the colors.

I run Archlinux on a VM, and now all of a sudden it freezes once i've logged into i3. Anyone experienced this issue before?

I use dotctrl to manipulate my dotfiles

Rofi is a little like something I use on Windows called Flow.launcher

Switching to i3 was amazing, but I encountered some issues that affected my productivity. For example, I had trouble with connecting to Bluetooth, low battery reminders, clicking using the trackpad, taking screenshots, etc. Is there a way to fix these problems? I don't have the time to research them, so I've gone back to Fedora for now with improve to move workspace by super+number

Ever done torrenting and see the person who uploaded the file is “trusted”, and you proceed to download it, this is the same as downloading from AUR. 😅 I do agree Arch is superior because it’s the closest to “With great powers comes great responsibility”, the entire time you’re using the distro is like playing 5D chess. It’s all good until you make a wrong move.
