btw, I wanted to add Pantheon (Elementary OS’ Desktop) too but upon dependency issues I decided not to

Make your own with GTK and Hyprland using ags. Its like gnome on the backend but your own custom JavaScript for the frontend.

The authors personal dotfiles are pretty slick.

If I find the time & motivation to do so I might do. Atm I’m happy with what I’ve got (not this setup, this is just a VM I use for “scientific purposes”)

Good to see some Sway love in here. Been using it for a year or so and it works great

I was using i3wm and have migrated pretty recently. Rewriting the config was much less scarier than I initially hoped.

No sway? No Fluxbox? No i3? No Plasma(wayland)? Pathetic. (jk)

I’m quite happy with my setup (not this one. This is just a VM I set up for “scientific purposes” and to see how some DEs are evolving)

Looks like my own used to look before. Just pure fun to try all of them because why not. :)

I would use different users to be sure to not mess up some dotfiles. Also icons and fonts will be very messed up

I use(d) a VM for testing purposes and things were working quite well unti I added Plasma. So, if I take this to real hardware I might split up the QT and GTK based DEs in separate distros

Yeah I agree, that would be the best, but also slightly annoying. No more common shell history or web history and stuff like that.

I haven’t had any major breakage using both Gnome and Plasma myself. It works fine. But it’s annoying to see Gnome apps in the Plasma menus (when typing program names).

Gnome and Plasma is the absolute worst example. Normally either GNOME or Plasma take over all icons and everything looks messed up. For me even after installing just Dolphin on GNOME everything was messed up.
