[02:19] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[02:19] <gry> hi, lotuspsychje and lotus|NUC
[02:19] <lotuspsychje> hey gry 
[16:17] <ruser> hello, can i get a lightweight modern tiling window manager recomendation please? 
[16:20] <lotuspsychje> ruser: apt-cache search tiling can give you some packages, and see also the community https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ to get new ideas
[16:21] <lotuspsychje> https://www.tecmint.com/best-tiling-window-managers-for-linux/
[16:21] <ruser> lotuspsychje:  thanks, and while i have your attention, is there is a diff between `apt-cache search` and `apt search` (other than presumably cache?)
[16:22] <ruser> i guess i ought to really read the man page 
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> ruser: hyprland is also pretty popular on unixporn https://hyprland.org/
[16:25] <ruser> oh hyprland looks pretty )
[16:25] <ruser> glad to see that i3 is still being used, it's been a while
[16:27] <ruser> looks 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?
[16:28] <lotuspsychje> hyprland goes wayland
[16:29] <lotuspsychje> and the link is still valid yeah
[16:30] <lotuspsychje> it all depends what kind of franken(ubuntu)linux you want to create yourself
[16:30] <lotuspsychje> the options are endless right
[16:30] <ruser> sure, and how much time i want to spend on it :)
[16:30] <lotuspsychje> heh
[16:31] <lotuspsychje> and last but not least, ubuntu 23.10 has new tiling too
[16:31] <lotuspsychje> didnt test myself yet, but i assume both xorg and wayland
[16:34] <lotuspsychje> ruser: a lot of users swear by i3 on a server base too, great speed benefits
[16:35] <ruser> so.... 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-upgrade
[16:35] <ruser> yeah, in the past i've enjoyed xfce, ion, and i3
[16:36] <ruser> bb in a bit, walking doggo
[16:36] <lotuspsychje> o/
[16:46] <_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/
[18:03] <ruser> back,  _spk_: great, this is the kind of recco i was looking for 
[18:03] <ruser> but also all the other stuff is great too thank you
