Hey folks,

remember the post that was made a few months ago about an infinite canvas/scrollable WM? Here we have the stable release of a (onedirectional) scrollable one inspired by gnome’s PaperWM.

Aaaand… …it’s written in Rust!

    Looks nice. Is anyone able to tell if I’m going to screw up my KDE install if I try it out? I’ve never tried WM / compositors on KDE that weren’t targeting KDE before.

      It should be fine I think. On Linux you can have multiple Desktop Environments installed (ex KDE Plasma & Gnome as well.)

      I tried Hyprland a few months ago like this. I had Plasma installed then installed hyprland as well. During login with SDDM you can select which DE to launch.

      Edit: On github it says you should install it alone to make sure. I dont know then, maybe it works? I am still new to Linux as well.

        I installed GNOME and KDE side-by-side once on Fedora, and that messed a whole bunch of things up like configuration files, icons etc. YMMV

    I love it!

    I am still using PaperWM but I’d def rebase to it as soon as someone created an ublue image for it

    I don’t want to miss scrollable wms

    The COPR package didn’t work for me on Nobara, so I had to build from source, but it works great. There are a couple of things I don’t like, but overall seems pretty neat.

    If I can get Xwayland to work nicely for steam with high refresh rates, then it seems like this might be the WM for me until COSMIC-DE comes out.
