How does your desktop look like /t/? How ricy is it?

It's really not much, I barely rice because there isn't much to rice to begin with. just dwm + st. QubesOS btw.

>>1013 Qubes is too hardware demanding.

Anonymous 01/05/2025 (Sun) 15:22:24 No. 1015

>>1014 Partially true. I've made my Qubes to be as minimal as possible, and have done a lot of research on Xen powersaving stuff. 'tlp bat' and doing 'xenpm set-sched-smt enable' seem to work best for powersaving, 'tlp bat' and 'xenpm set-sched-smt disable' for regular workloads, and 'tlp ac' and 'xenpm set-sched-smt enable' for performance. 'xenpm set-scaling-governor' and 'xenpm disable-turbo-mode' don't seem to work for me.

But yeah, QubesOS isthe reason why my Thinkpad doesn't last longer than ~1.2 hours lol

Anonymous 01/06/2025 (Mon) 08:46:20 No. 1022

>>1021 Well, no. QubesOS provides the best of the best when it comes to complete compartmentalization, you literally can't beat it with your homemade setup. Unless you're gonna reimplement QubesOS, by using Xen as hypervisor and just reinventing the wheel. Also, QubesOS is definitely not for normal people lol.

Anonymous 01/06/2025 (Mon) 18:24:50 No. 1024

>>1023 I am not a schizo, I just use QubesOS because my threat model asks for it. I use my laptop for a lot of different stuff (school, work, personal, freelance programming) and I don't want anything interacting with other files. I need a system that can compartmentalize everything, from firewall to PCI devices. And no, I am not a druggie either. Drugs are gay.

maybe a bit boring but i generally have nothing on my desktop except the wallpaper. even the taskbar is hidden automatically. i tend to just hit the search key and search for whatever program i want to launch instead of using desktop icons. it's comfy and i like it.

>>79 I've started to liek more dark themed desktops lately, and with a little bit of time, i was able to pull this together The wallpaper was taken from a demo that comes pre installed with rockbox; i took a picture with my phone and edited the picture I really like how it ended up looking. As if it were a spaceship in a part of space with no light sources, or maybe like a wrecked ship

I think I'll give up on tiling WMs. There's just too many things that don't work or at least work awkwardly when using them.

Anonymous 05/19/2025 (Mon) 16:18:54 No. 1364

>>1363 What tiling WMs have you used? I've been using dwm for a couple years now and haven't had any of the issues you have.

Anonymous 05/19/2025 (Mon) 16:27:11 No. 1365

>>1364 I wouldn't call them issues, it's not that serious. Mostly stuff related to floating windows and fullscreen. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but it gets ugly at times, though maybe I just haven't spent enough time on it. I've been using i3

Anonymous 05/19/2025 (Mon) 16:34:39 No. 1366

>>1365 Hard to tell without knowing the use case. 95% normalfags are conditioned by windows into compositing wms, so tiling is a rather exotic feature. This is why I think 95% of normalfag developers don't give a fuck if their shit doesn't work in a tiling environment. But I've been using i3wm for years and I am still quite satisfied. I have several virtual machines with different Linux flavors and also windowses, and I honestly like compositing wms less. On the other hand I've used them for years before I moved to tiling, so I can use either without major issues in terms of comfiness.

Anonymous 05/19/2025 (Mon) 16:42:07 No. 1367

>>1363 Not sure what you're talking about, but basically everything works nicely with dwm. Only times I run into issues is with games and alt tabbing. Using windowed and just removing the top bar is the solution for that.

Anonymous 05/19/2025 (Mon) 16:58:24 No. 1368

>>1367 dwm loser

on i3wm games work well and alt tabbing is a joke, because it actually provides a superior way to switch between windows

Anonymous 05/20/2025 (Tue) 09:22:12 No. 1371

>>1366 Just as you said, most desktop apps aren't meant to be viewed in an aspect ration that's too different from 16:9, so a lot of them look weird in a tiling WM

Anonymous 05/20/2025 (Tue) 09:58:14 No. 1372

>>1371 check out i3wm's stacked and tabbed layouts, they're amazing. I almost exclusively use tabbed and it rocks
