Thanks for another glowing vid man, it's nice to hear. I'm one of the ArchLabs core devs/maintainers and eventually was convinced to add dk after it was stable enough to be a daily driver. If you continue to use dk and want to offer advice on fixing irritating issues or just point them out I'd be happy to do some work on it. Many of the decisions were just what I came up with at the time and maybe not the best (like floating window placement). I'd agree there's some annoyances with the way some windows are handled without being specific in the rules, various reasons for why I decided on placing floating windows around the screen but it's mostly down to not covering up other floating windows. Bit rambly, again thanks for the nice vid
Thanks for your hard work and time. I will be using it for the foreseeable future. It is a great WM and I'm happy to recommend it, until you don't want me to anymore.
Hey I wanted to say, I know this is a thankless job, but I appreciate the work you have done and are doing! Your window manager is exactly what I was looking for, and my experience with it thus far has been flawless. The only thing I'd change is the default keybinds from using "Alt" to using Super, but I know DWM does this as well. Luckily it's an easy fix with VIM, so I really cannot complain at all!
Hey Jake. Love ALL your vids. Really like the modular aspect of dk, but would really prefer to have a column layout (with equal size) which works best (IMO) on an ultrawide display. Not yet, right? Also, I have a bash script in bspwm which reports the workspace name and passes it to dunst. ex: bspc query -D -d focused --names
Congratulations on the vaca/stay-cation. I think once I am happy with my qtile rice I will front load dk. I just have a growing list of window managers to learn and set up.
I'm gonna have to give this a try. The config looks pretty noob friendly, which is perfect for me. That color scheme is awesome too. Gonna have to try that out too.
I am messing around with Penrose and the gentleman who created the crate, mentioned wmctrl. I had just looked at it a few days ago when I was starting the project of the wm I want to make. Really good video,as always. Thank you brother, stay well.
Thanks, I think I saw it mentioned there as well when I was looking at Penrose. I'm curious to see what you come up with for a window manager. I stopped working on my c++ attempt a while ago, I may pick it up again in the future.
Hey I wanted to say thanks for the Mini Series! Thanks to your videos which spurned a bit of research on my end I ended up giving a test run myself, and this is *exactly* what I was looking for! It's as easy to configure as BSPWM (you can go obviously a lot more crazy, dk cmd is quite powerful), and does everything I want it to out of the box! It's an instant win for me as well!
Hi Jack. I'm a little bit confused after playing with dk window manager and their config file dkrc. But I'm not found in their how i can set i.e the webcam to make it visible on more than one workspaces! How I can set it in dkrc? By the other WM's like dwm, xmonad etc. it works!Can you explain me how i do it?
This looks interesting. I like some of the config options. I want you to know I wouldn't have tried Herbst without your recommendation and I love it. I do like a few DWM patches like fake full that I miss but otherwise Herbst is my jam. I will try DK. Also... I use Tdrop for scratchpads. If you haven't tried it out I think you will enjoy the customization options and it works across every WM I have tried. Keep doing what you're doing and enjoy your time off... You will be pacing the house in a couple of days trying to figure out what to do with yourself...lolz
Tried out dk as my 3rd windowmanager and I'm really enjoying it so far. Would love some more content on it if you keep using it and figuring out more stuff :=) Great videos my dude
@@JakeLinux Do you realize that almost no one except DT does any videos about Openbox? And if you make a WM poll, OB will always be there somewhere near the top.
Hi jake, I use dk for months now and maybe the weird things you have when reloading your config is because your startup programs will run twice or more, multiple instances can really mess up sometimes, so kill them all before relaunching killall -q {sxhkd,polybar,etc...]
Hey, I have it! It's so easy, key combines Alt+Shift+s( sticky's the window) and you can move the stickeyed window over ws's! For me, -in my opinion- is dk window manager simply the best performanced, simply to configure and and and... window. Thank you natemaia for this beautiful window manager, that you've even created. Special (Oscar)thanks goes to you Jake@Linux, who made this interessant Video about this beautiful WM.
Hi Jake, this tiling window manager lookes nice, I've installed it and it runs good! It is smaller than xmonad, dwm and so on and compact. Runs better than the other window manager with their configs, patches ... BTW: I didn't found any configs about dk window manager on your website🤨
Heeeeey! Looks interesting. Is this written in Python? And the bar... What bar you're using there? Your setup looks neat! Edit: I heard it: That is POLYBAR! Daaaaaaaamn!!! I need to know how to rice a bar at such level! Edit #2: I want to study your Polybar dotfile. Could you share to us, please? I don't want to replicate it exactly, I want to know how to customize mine using the way you did, I actually like yo have my own setups, but I had no idea a Polybar can be customized that much.

I might have to dk in the front of my list after I get qtile working how I want. Jake always makes great content.

@@JustAGuyLinux You can do various layouts with the standard tile layout just by tweaking the values to suit.

Thanks, it's been about ten years since I have been able to take a vacation, it is long overdue.
I'm gonna have to give this a try. The config looks pretty noob friendly, which is perfect for me. That color scheme is awesome too. Gonna have to try that out too.
Herbsluftwm is that way too, I feel in love with it quickly
It's pretty user friendly, definitely a good choice.
Herbst is still my #1 pick, I am a big fan of that WM.
@@JakeLinux I wanna try Herbst too.

Glad you like it, it is a great window manager and one worth some publicity.
That's awesome stuff.
This one flew in under my radar - will be checking DK out.
Good vid.
Its a good one, that is whit I will be running in my artix challenge once I'm done with debian.
Hey Jake. How do you do the cd into any folder without the path to it if it's in the .config folder without doing cd .config/foldername
I have a video on that, you have to use CDPATH in your .bash_profile or your .bashrc.

Herbst is still my #1, I don't think that will change, but I am going to live in dk for a while and see what it can do.
Tried out dk as my 3rd windowmanager and I'm really enjoying it so far. Would love some more content on it if you keep using it and figuring out more stuff :=) Great videos my dude
Thanks, what are your other 2 window managers?
@@JakeLinux late reply but started off with i3 and then dabbled a bit with dwm before dk
@@JakeLinux Do you realize that almost no one except DT does any videos about Openbox? And if you make a WM poll, OB will always be there somewhere near the top.
Another nice video! DK looks pretty good and I hope Nate's community grows.
Do you set your wallpaper colors with G.I.M.P.?
Thanks, this was just downloaded from the web as is, but yes whenever I do any editing of any kind on images, I use G.I.M.P.
Jake, that is the coolest rice I have seen, nothing draws me more than that!!
Thank you, I appreciate that
I love that DK has double borders without needing to hack on the codebase I may switch from i3wm after 13 years using it :)
I like the double borders as well, Herbst supports them out of the box as well, no hacking necessary.
@@JakeLinux ya i like that DK has this without hacking i made a patch for it in i3 but im working on switching to DK as they do a better job of it
I will try this with my LMDE 5 installation.
Hope you like it
Hi jake, I use dk for months now and maybe the weird things you have when reloading your config is because your startup programs will run twice or more, multiple instances can really mess up sometimes, so kill them all before relaunching
killall -q {sxhkd,polybar,etc...]
Thanks for the tip, I will give it a shot.
Jake, wheres the config for that polybar? 😭
Coming, I'm on vacation but will get some repos updated and pushed here soon.
Hey, I have it! It's so easy, key combines Alt+Shift+s( sticky's the window) and you can move the stickeyed window over ws's! For me, -in my opinion- is dk window manager simply the best performanced, simply to configure and and and... window. Thank you natemaia for this beautiful window manager, that you've even created. Special (Oscar)thanks goes to you Jake@Linux, who made this interessant Video about this beautiful WM.
Thanks, glad you like it, hopefully this window manager gains some traction, as long as the dev is interested in maintaining it.
have you permanently switch to dk?
No, it is one of my top 5 picks but HLWM is still number 1 and I am running hyprland at the moment.
@@JakeLinux Could you point out what is better hlwm than dk?
DK is great !
One of the best in my opinion
Hi Jake, this tiling window manager lookes nice, I've installed it and it runs good! It is smaller than xmonad, dwm and so on and compact. Runs better than the other window manager with their configs, patches ...
BTW: I didn't found any configs about dk window manager on your website🤨
Not quite finished, they will be pushed to my repo as soon as they are done, I have a lot of maintenance to do on my repos, I apologize.
Nooo!!! How could you... After all, HLWM is the favorite!!! 😪
Herbst is still my #1, but I still like to see what else is out there. And this one is good
Thinking the same thing
let's stop being funny here, they are more or less the same thing..
Heeeeey! Looks interesting. Is this written in Python? And the bar... What bar you're using there? Your setup looks neat!
Edit: I heard it: That is POLYBAR! Daaaaaaaamn!!! I need to know how to rice a bar at such level!

Hi. I mean it is written in C, because, if you want install it, you must make "make install"😀
Thanks, that is polybar.
@@JakeLinux is there any way to get access to those dotfiles? I wanna study them, to understand that level of customization!
