Oct 7, 2026, 9:54 PM@cthos hmmm, lotta claude related commits in those Noctalia repos...
trying to use slopscan on em to see how in depth it is, but I'm just getting permission errors (https://slopscan.ava.pet)- cthos 🐱cthosOct 7, 2026, 10:33 PM
@aud There are 18, which is several more than the last time I looked, yeah.

@aud Unfortunately my research found the rest of the compatible ones were *worse*.
Relatedly though I think I might stick with Cosmic on all the machines.

@aud Oooh, wait, delta-shell looks promising :thinking:
Gods this is exhausting.
- cthos 🐱cthosOct 7, 2026, 11:02 PM
@aud Nope, I remember why I ruled this one out

@cthos huh... I didn't do a very thorough investigation, but it seems like no slop at least. Just not up to the task?
I'm so looking forward to Cosmic having some workspace animations... - cthos 🐱cthosOct 7, 2026, 11:13 PM
@aud Not wanting to build it from source to get it running on the immutable desktop, mostly

@aud if we keep going down this hole I'm just going to make my own quickshell derivative and I do not have time for this.
(he says as though his primary DE isnt still cosmic)

@cthos you're talking to the girl who has been reading all about zig specifically to toy around with a window manager...
- cthos 🐱cthosOct 7, 2026, 11:22 PM
@aud I have been playing Ziglings! Zig is neat, I should be writing. 😭

@cthos I, too, have been doing ziglings!
Hey Guselebertus@eigenmagic.netOct 7, 2026, 10:54 PM@cthos I never gave niri a serious go. How did you find it?
- cthos 🐱cthosOct 7, 2026, 10:57 PM
@elebertus It's alright, I can't really tell how much I like it. It uses KDL for its config though so that's pretty neat.
I feel like if I were willing to customize it a bunch it would be really good but I am unlikely to do that 🤔
