Yeah, more HerbstluftWM! I like how you keep the configuration organized, I also prefer to separate my configuration files by context. Great video, as always, Jake!
Herbstluftwm was my first tiler, I ran once out of curiosity in antix. And I left the world of DEs and delved into the world of tilers, never to go back again.
@@JakeLinux same. though, does icewm count? or sometimes a lxde. okay, i confess, sometimes i take the pain of xfce. ... okay i confess more, i'm often nostalgic for kde3(/trinity) where i first landed as a windows-refugee in suse3 in 2003. day to day, if not lounging in openbox (for crunchbanglinux nostalgia), xmonad and herbstluftwm ftw.
I learned about HLWM through antix. Ironically jwm config file (.jwmrc) in antix has similar resemblance of what you did with hlwm. On the other hand their HLWM config file is outdated. liked the theme ricing option.
I found it very interesting. It reminds me of when I would clean up my desk at work. Move the papers on one side of my desk to the other. I'm glad I retired.
Installed and gave herbst a weekend try, but for some reason I could NOT get it to render menu bars for my 3 monitors. It wouldn't render them on/for ANY of my monitors. It'd push the tiling windows down below where they should be but they were 'invisible'. HOWEVER, I haven't give up and uninstalled, I just quick installed and tweaked AwesomeWM to get my workflow primed up and then I'll get back to it when I understand a little more how the herbstluft-client works. Right now I'm trying to relearn C (barely touched it since college in roughly 2015) and Lua, peeking at rust and go apis and I'm just overwhelmed with new learning so I'm kind of flowing down the path of least resistance for now. But thanks to your vids I'm learning a lot about lightweight workflow building and tweaking even if I veer from your tech stack a little bit. Thanks!
I like to call it simplified clutter. Cleaning up and bring a bit of order to clutter... 🙂 I do my Wm config file kinda the same but there still in a category in the same file that make sense to me. Still rocking LeftWm and SpectrWm, have not ever really tried any other but DWM, Awesome once for a few hours long. long, long ago... Thanks Jake! LLAP 🖖
hi jake,Are you not interested in migrating to Wayland? i need information about wayland.start from how to set up greetd,then wayland compositor / wayland wm and more.can you make a tutorial install void linux base with wayland compositor.which is pure wayland compositor without xwayland
I've been experimenting with hlwm and it's pretty nice, one question though any idea on how to turn off all titlebars? I found how to toggle decorations for the focused window but I'd like to turn them off by default
@@JakeLinuxAlright, I'll go over your dot files this weekend and try to find out how you did it. If you don't have them I may have enabled them somewhere and not realized.
sounds like, effectively... that's just a month without my computer. i imagine i'd not get far with it in that time. .... or would i? would i find glory in kernel+busybox (+ii+lynx+ffmpeg+imagemagic+jack+...etc.) in a day? . . . y'know the old bedrock linux versions had a minimal manual install that the first part was a bit like a tldr lfs .... hence the kernel+busybox i suggested. .... make that your next 1 month challenge to people. ;) kernel+busybox
@@nevoyu honestly I'm not sure I would have to read the docs, that is not a function I have ever felt I personally needed, if I want to know what is on a certain workspace, I have a script linked to a keybinding that displays a list of all occupied workspaces and what is open on each, then if I want to view that I can select it from the list or manually switch to that workspace, but thats me, I don't know if you can preview tags from the current.

Thank you, I'm trying to give Herbst the coverage it deserves, it is severely underrated in my opinion.
Herbstluftwm was my first tiler, I ran once out of curiosity in antix.
And I left the world of DEs and delved into the world of tilers, never to go back again.
I don't know that I would ever go back to a desktop environment again either.

Organization is definitely a good thing, whether it's your where you store your files or how you arrange your configurations.
I try to stay organized but sometimes I get a little lazy

I have never even looked at antix, will have to check it out.
I would spend hours watching your tips...
Thank you for your videos/tutorials.
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate that.
This terminal rice is just splendid
Thanks I think it is one of my favorites I have done.
I found it very interesting. It reminds me of when I would clean up my desk at work. Move the papers on one side of my desk to the other. I'm glad I retired.
Someday, maybe, I will be able to consider possibly thinking about the idea of one day being able to retire...maybe.
Herbstluftwm - лучший!
Agreed

That's a bummer, I only have a single monitor so I'm not sure what could be going on. You sound about as busy as I am.

Simplified clutter, I like that. Working on spectrwm config as we speak.
@@Bruces-Eclectic-World "The turtle couldn't help us"
Love that movie, Tim Curry was creepy.
insta-"like" upon glimpse of spectrwm. yus. spectrwm ftw. concisely does that model of tilingwm, with no complexity or clutter.
this will be a nice push to see and try out :)
Yeah, I am way behind on my git maintenance.
@@JakeLinux ya only by about 8 months or so. I'm sure you will catch up by Christmas lol
fyi (iirc) hannah montana linux was a straight respin of ubuntu with kde3, and was really good, which helped the joke theming.
I like it Jake,GVJ.

Hi Jake❤, new subscriber here!! You deserve 1M subs, where’s everyone?
Welcome to the channel and thank you for the kind words I greatly appreciate it!
Hey, great work. Where may I download your configs ?? on Gitlab is a bit outdated ??
Thanks, I am doing some major repo maintenance right now so it should all be up to date in a day or two.

I have never used Wayland, mainly because I have not had a reason to, I will look into this process and see what I can do.
I've been experimenting with hlwm and it's pretty nice, one question though any idea on how to turn off all titlebars? I found how to toggle decorations for the focused window but I'd like to turn them off by default
I will have to read up on that, I have never had title bars on HLWM so I have not dealt with them. Let me check the docs and get back with you.
@@JakeLinux @Jake@Linux thanks a lot! How come you don't have titlebars though? That's exactly what I'm looking for
@@Davidvp I don't use title bars on anything, I prefer to have clean window borders, just not my thing I guess.
@@JakeLinuxAlright, I'll go over your dot files this weekend and try to find out how you did it. If you don't have them I may have enabled them somewhere and not realized.
could you live a month in LFS?
Would have to try to find out.
sounds like, effectively...
that's just a month without my computer.
i imagine i'd not get far with it in that time.
.... or would i? would i find glory in kernel+busybox (+ii+lynx+ffmpeg+imagemagic+jack+...etc.) in a day?

Why is Herbsluft (autumn air) your favourite WM?
Combination of config, features, documentation, and function.
hey, which font did you use in your terminal?
I believe in this video I was using fantasque sans mono
Can I assign windows to tags like I can with dwm?
Yes you can, for example: hc rule class=vlc tag=6 opens vlc on workspace or tag 6.
@@JakeLinux ok next can I view a tag from another tag like I can do in dwm?
@@nevoyu as in, see what is open on a different tag without leaving the current tag?
@@JakeLinux Yep, dwm let's you do that. Standard binding mod+ctrl+3 while on tag 1
