Here’s a video of my workflow if anyone’s interested! All the credit for the gorgeous implementation of the tiling goes to the devs over at PaperWM! Better than some tiling WMs that I’ve tried!

Just and fyi. Rice/ricing is a derogatory term and really shouldn’t be used.

Edit: yall that are downvoting me. Look it up it’s not something that we as a community should be using. It’s been discussed here previously.

Yeah, last I checked it was used in the 1980’s and only in like US and UK(only like 5% global population). Half the people in this community wasn’t even born then. When most people hear the term ricing they think about theming their desktops, not about the car culture thing.

The word rice has been central to the whole unixporn community since it started. I don’t like it being banned due to some white guilt.

May I ask how is it derogatory? I’ve just seen it used a lot on unixporn subs and communities, clearly it’s not meant in a derogatory fashion.

That tiling looks really slick. I’ll have to give it a try, I’m using POP_OS Shell right now which does the trick but I’m curious how it stacks up.

I tried POP_OS Shell too, but the animations were just way too janky for me, and I didn’t like that. I tried out Forge and some others but they were all pretty much the same. PaperWM on the other hand takes a completely different approach and stacks them in an infinite horizontal scrollable list. After using this implementation for a couple of weeks, I just can’t go back to anything else at all!

Have you tried SwayWM? If so, what differentiates Paper from Sway?

I’m asking mainly as a Sway user curious about other options (not because I dislike it, it works pretty well for me and I like the automation aspect).

I did try sway but the first thing I got was a config error… on a completely fresh install!

Anyways, PaperWM is just a Gnome extension, giving tiling within Gnome instead of being a dedicated WM like Sway or i3.

Nice desktop! I see you use Obsidian and Logseq, may I ask why do you use both? I’m still deciding how to PKM.

I prefer Logseq’s workflow but the app on Obsidian is just so much faster, I do end up using it

Oh I see haha I thought Obsidian would be much heavier than logseq due to all the plugins and stuff, TBH.
