WM: niri

distro: arch BTW

terminal: foot

notification: fnott made by the same developer of foot

I made my own bash script to randomize wallpapers that took me long time to make. If you want to try it out: randwall

My dotfiles are not very organized yet that’s why I haven’t git them for now but I will do soon …

    Looks great!

    How do you like fnott? I assume you switched to it from mako — what made you switch? What are the pros and cons?

      Mako better than fnott in:

      • better in handling images (thumbnails) than fnott because fnott lags if there’s many notifications with high resolution thumbnails that are displayed at once.
      • It has more anchor positions. you cannot have center-right or top-center anchors in Fnott. Fnott has only 5 anchor positions while Mako has 9.
      • You can restore previous expired notifications with makoctl restore command while fnottctl doesn’t has it.

      Fnott is better than mako in:

      • You have dynamic width so every notification has it is own width instead of all of them have the same width which is the main reason why I use Fnott.
      • Easier to config.

        The dynamic width thing is huge… so many notifications spend their precious initial width on boilerplate bs, I’ll give it a shot…

        tho tbh all I really need is a full screen, undismissable thing for when my battery is dying… other notifications are very lovely but the number of times I’ve only realized I was low on battery when my computer starts shutting down is… a lot.
