Now said contributor works a bit more on the project and adds some great new functionality, but floorp don’t agree it fits their plans. So the contributor decides to make their own fork called ceilingp and build from that. Nope, they don’t have the license to do so. They can take the mpl parts. They can take their own parts (they didn’t sign an exclusive release of their code). They can add their own new code. They can’t use the rest of the floorp code though.

So floorp gets the benefits but no one else can build off it without permission (save for private use without releasing it and potentially having others do the same).

Hearing your monitor squeal when you got the modelines wrong was fun.

Currently using gbar in Hyprland as I got a bit overwhelmed trying to learn too many things at once (gbar is very limited but simple to configure). I’ve always been thinking of moving over to a more flexible option like eww though, and this might be a good reason to do so (keeping things consistent).

### Multiple binds to one key [](https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Binds/#multiple-binds-to-one-key)

You can trigger multiple actions with one keybind by assigning multiple binds to one combination, e.g.:

# to switch between windows in a floating workspace
bind = SUPER,Tab,cyclenext,          # change focus to another window
bind = SUPER,Tab,bringactivetotop,   # bring it to the top

The keybinds will be executed in the order they were created. (top to bottom)

That’s just the way you write the rules being deprecated, not the functionality.

There is move left/right within a workspace, move to specific workspace and then move to next/previous workspace (from memory using e+1 as the workspace name in the command but might be misremembering). Admittedly this isn’t exactly the same as what you want; I replied from my mobile and checked when I went back to my desk. I usually use meta/shift/[num] to send to a specific workspace though as I make heavy use of them.

I have workspaces pinned to monitors in Hyprland and have none of the problems you mentioned. I use odd numbers for left screen and even numbers for right.

Edit: just took a look and can’t find mention of the depreciation; where did you read that?

Considering they specifically removed Linux support of the earlier headsets, I doubt it too.

Thanks for the summary! Good luck with the project 👍

How does this compare to wlroots?

The AUR has everything. It is a repository of Arch users, so is bound to contain a community here and there.

Wait, how??

It is probably your NVIDIA driver. Version 545 has this kind of problem. Rolling back to 535 solved it for me.

You can also play with it in a virtual machine. It won’t give you quite the same experience for your specific hardware, but you will get a feel for how it works, especially the package manager etc.

Beryl was a fork of Compiz, and then was merged back later on. The desktop cube was basically Compiz’ first big show off feature, along with the wobbly windows.

Took me a few goes here and there but now I love my minimal tiling setup. Never really got it but just played with them here and there out of curiosity. Last time I tried it something clicked for me and now I’ve no desire to go back.

Could you try it on Wayland? It would likely use xwayland anyway but maybe it gets the geometry reported differently and scales differently? Or even try the Valve compositor to rescale things? Thinking it loud as I’ve not tried them at all for something like this but maybe worth looking into.

Some environments use super+rmb to do that. If yours doesn’t, maybe see if it can be set as an option.

The first distro I feel in love with was Debian (potato I think). Before that I had dabbled here and there but never had something click. Played with Gentoo when it first landed (try a stage one Gentoo build without the internet to go to for answers to really learn it!) and after getting tired of compiling all the time tried this new Ubuntu thing. Stayed with that for years until snaps and decided to try Manjaro to learn about this Arch thing. Got sick of the problems and but the bullet and went “pure” Arch. Feel in love again like I did way back with Debian.

Now I use Debian on important servers and Arch on servers I can afford to play with and my day to day machine.

Never looked back. Debian for stability, Arch for everything else. Never been happier.

You could also do a run rather than waste time commenting on here. Obviously you are enjoying your free time in some way, so stop gatekeeping what others should be allowed to do in theirs.

Looking better and better. Unfortunately I need to work directly in CMYK so hopefully they integrate that better soon. I find illustrator to be a bloated mess, but until Inkscape supports this properly I can’t use it to replace it.
