Pretty sure that is possible with Nix and home-manager.

I don't have anything useful to say but that sounds fixing dystopian.

Oh thank you for that link. I knew I've heard him take about his plans in some talk he gave, but didn't know he write them down.

I am on the same page as you. River works for me well enough, but the vision is what keeps me excited.

What exactly was the problem with not being able to configure CSD/SSD? I've not run into any issues but that has probably more to do with the applications I run.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time getting the software running. I understand that this can be very frustrating.

As others have said, making yourself the owner of everything can cause numerous issues in the long run and there's a reason why most distributions DON'T make you root.

Why are you using Linux in the first place? I think sonarr and jackett both run on Windows as well.

Don't let the frustration get the best of you. If you really want to run those tools yourself, then dive into it (and all the technical issues that are part of it), but if you only want to have access to the functionality, you might want to look into a service that takes care of all the technical burden.

Good luck

You're welcome. I've been using it as my daily driver for over a year now and it works for that, but don't expect any bells and whistles.

I think the biggest difference is dynamic (river) vs manual tiling (sway). Other than that, I feel sway is much more mature and there's a proper community surrounding it that had written scripts and tools that work with sway. Many of which you are probably gonna use with river as well (swaylock, swaybg, swayidle).

One thing that's pretty cool about river (at least in theory) is that the tiling algorithm is not part of the compositor itself. Instead, you can run any river tiling program and have that part be completely custom if you wish. Also configuration is done via commands instead of a config language (you usually run a bash script at start).

From what I remember, the vision of Isaac Freund (main developer) is, that river will become more of a tiling compositor base, that others can then use to create their own distributions. I heard that in some talk he gave. You should be able to find that on YouTube.

However, there's still a long way to go.

In it's current state, river reminds me of spectrwm. Very simple, with some cool, but ultimately non-essential, ideas that you probably won't find anywhere else.

After five months since the last patch and almost two years since the 0.2.0 release, version 0.3.0 of the minimalist Wayland tiler river has dropped last week.

The new version improves rendering performance and damage tracking, adds several quality of life features, such as resizing windows from all sides, extend the rules system, and supports several new Wayland protocols like text-input-v3, input-method-v2, fractional-scale-v1 and more.

Full change log can be found here.

Ah, I think that isn't possible. You would have to split the track and then use the smart clips feature. Or you use a different tool like someone else mentioned.

Sounds like currently AMD is a safer bet if one was in the market for a new card.

Thanks for your answer.

if you’re willing to use proprietary drivers it works, but it has some hiccups

Do you know if nvidia still has issues with Wayland or are nvidia and MAD on par nowadays in that area?

GPG is probably the most commonly used one. If you want something with a slightly less awkward command line interface, you could try sequoia-pgp.
