ruserhello, can i get a lightweight modern tiling window manager recomendation please? 16:17
lotuspsychjeruser: apt-cache search tiling can give you some packages, and see also the community https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ to get new ideas16:20
lotuspsychjehttps://www.tecmint.com/best-tiling-window-managers-for-linux/16:21
ruserlotuspsychje:  thanks, and while i have your attention, is there is a diff between `apt-cache search` and `apt search` (other than presumably cache?)16:21
ruseri guess i ought to really read the man page 16:22
lotuspsychjeruser: hyprland is also pretty popular on unixporn https://hyprland.org/16:23
ruseroh hyprland looks pretty )16:25
ruserglad to see that i3 is still being used, it's been a while16:25
ruserlooks like in that best tiling WM link most are for X and not wayland.  I've been out of the industry for a bit, is this a reputable source or just one of the hits?16:27
lotuspsychjehyprland goes wayland16:28
lotuspsychjeand the link is still valid yeah16:29
lotuspsychjeit all depends what kind of franken(ubuntu)linux you want to create yourself16:30
lotuspsychjethe options are endless right16:30
rusersure, and how much time i want to spend on it :)16:30
lotuspsychjeheh16:30
lotuspsychjeand last but not least, ubuntu 23.10 has new tiling too16:31
lotuspsychjedidnt test myself yet, but i assume both xorg and wayland16:31
lotuspsychjeruser: a lot of users swear by i3 on a server base too, great speed benefits16:34
ruserso.... i'm trying to workout my boot issues and right now on 20.04 just got to a bootable stage, i want to get at very least to 22 LTS but I think my boot will break, and repair will be hard so i wanted to look at some utilities to address m y boot issues before i dist-upgrade16:35
ruseryeah, in the past i've enjoyed xfce, ion, and i316:35
ruserbb in a bit, walking doggo16:36

_spk_ruser: If you liked i3 (I also used that for a few years at a previous $WORK) but want to use Wayland you could take a look at Sway: https://swaywm.org/16:46
ruserback,  _spk_: great, this is the kind of recco i was looking for 18:03
ruserbut also all the other stuff is great too thank you18:03
