What I really want, but don't have the technical skill to write unfortunately:), is a window manager or compositor that lets me set the size of a window and the viewport into that window independently. That is, formalize the approach that yes this window is rendering as if it was taking up half the screen but I only need to actually see this tiny slice of it, so just give me a window that shows that piece

Do you mean something like this?

That sounds like exactly what I've wanted - Sort of like those blackboards / whiteboards that you can roll around.

What's your favorite? Right now I'm on xfce and KDE as my daily drivers but I'll shop around next time I wanna shake things up

You can try Karousel on KDE.

Earlier concepts existed but it all exploded with PaperWM on Gnome.

There is niri, scroll(sway), papersway, hyprland's plugins, PaperWM, PaperWM.spoon on Mac, Komorebi on Windows etc

I'm beginning to really like scrolling window managers.

It's optimized for minimal splits (let's say 2-3 windows) per view but it makes it effortless to flip between apps. Floating windows is also an option and making any of them full screen is available too.

Imagine tiling a bunch of pieces of paper on your floor and now you want to focus on a few of them at a time. That's basically what a scrolling window manager allows, you can either swipe on a touchpad, hit the arrow keys or use your mouse wheel to cycle between stuff. Of course you can customize these, that's just a reasonable default.

It's so much faster than manually dealing with workspaces IMO.

I'm currently taking a look into both Hyprland's scrolling plugins and if that fails then Niri. I wish Hyprland's official scrolling plugin was not in an alpha state. I want to stick with Hyprland because everything else about it is really nice.

All of this stuff works independent of Omarchy too since it's 100% related to your window manager.

Here's a video demo: https://youtu.be/r0JUm77inIA?t=319

[Note: I'm not the author of the video but I jumped to a timestamp where he's showing Niri's scrolling features]

FYI: The author of Hyprland's scrolling plugin (not the official one) had archived it and instead forked sway to create scroll.

Chlorine is a major component in table salts = in most food = evolutionarily harmless!

See how that doesn't make sense?

My experience is just the opposite: Linux requires more up-front tinkering, but once you get it into a shape you want, it tends to stay that way and get out of your way. Windows, by contrast, requires much more ongoing active maintenance, and previous releases were prone to simply shitting the bed without explanation or recourse. MacOS is better about this than Windows, but not as good as Linux.

Now if you're talking Arch Linux... sure. The Arch devs love yanking the carpet out from under you and then telling you "you should have read that forum post from a week ago if you didn't want your system to break". But other distros, like Slackware, Debian, and Void, are quite stable across updates.

I surely love answering *Why I don't want to backup my files and settings to OneDrive" every few months OR Removing things like Edge Game Assist etc from autostarting.

coming from an m1, and given they're awesome as hardware goes, wouldn't asahi be the natural choice? honest question.

That camera bump is huge. I guess that's how you get the great zoom?

Phone cases are doing heavy lifting to smooth out the back of this phone.

abhinavk · 5 days ago

Atleast these type of bumps don't cause the phones to wobble.

Why is this a core plugin? It’s interesting, but seems a bit niche. How do you decide if it’s a core plugin or a regular plugin?

abhinavk · 7 days ago

Core plugin is first-party closed-source plugins the Obsidian team created and maintains. Regular (community) plugins are third-party, open-source and vetted only at the submission time.

Does dropping 32-bit support just mean that there are no supported x86-32 OS images, or that 32-bit applications are generally not supported?

If it means that no 32-bit apps are supported, how does Steam handle this? Does it run 32-bit games in a VM? Is the Steam client itself a 64-bit application these days or still stuck on 32-bits?

abhinavk · 12 days ago

No x86-32 images.
