What's your current setup? (Computer, OS?)

ryzen 3600, gtx 1660 super, 16gb ddr4-3600, 1tb nvme. i really enjoy connecting to this machine via parsec from other devices (including a raspberry pi 3), but would love to find an open source replacement that works as well as parsec does.

Desktop is i7-6700k + RX 480 tragically running Windows 10 (games). I wiped Manjaro from it recently because I needed the SSD. My laptop is a 4 year old Lenovo Flex 4 with Arch. I want to upgrade both computers, but I really don't need it.

how does it run on your macbook? I've got a macbook pro as well and I'm considering dual booting with linux.

It runs great! I think basically every MacBook after this one (basically when TouchBars kicked in) are suboptimal, but on mine basically everything works. I'm happy to confirm anything specific you have a doubt about.

Main driver is a fairly new Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition. I threw Ubuntu off board though because I prefer my Void Linux setup. I'm not using any desktop environment. I use DWM, st and tmux. Things either happen in the shell or the browser. Browsers are, with few exceptions like Gimp and darktable, almost the only GUI applications I use. You can find my configs on github.com/nkoehri...

No problem, here you go: reddit.com/r/unixp...

The thing about DWM is that the configuration is done in source code and I usually don't change anything except keybindings and colours. No layout config or anything fancy because this is exactly the way I want it to be. You might want to read about tagging window managers.

Yeah, I found that out, and I'd like to keep it under 2000 SLOC after making any customizations. So I think I'll be sticking close to stock myself...

Conveniently there's also a list of patches for some extra functionality that you might like. I personally didn't add any patches but was looking at some of the bar functionality. I might patch in things like clickable bar sections.

Short answer: A fairly recent Thinkpad running Arch Linux. The details: I use Zsh as my shell with no login manager. I recently started using KDE/Plasma after years of using XFCE as my goto DE. Why? To give it a go, mainly. I'm pretty happy with it for now, mainly for its WM, kwin, which is very versatile and customizable.

I discovered zsh with oh-my-zsh and I must say, it is way more productive than bash !

iMac (home) and macbook pro for work. I'm super tempted to get a thinkpad and move away from osx
